Please be very careful with market orders on SIRI, they can slide down alot (we have seen as much as 15 cent slides in March in seconds)
Yes - here's my advice - TDA is the easiest to negotiate with of any brokerage I've personally dealt with. Let me see if I can give you a promotion discount by referring you - and I'll get back to you. I will do this for anyone else interested....Quote:

By the time they enforce the up-tick rule I may be two years in the grave~!
Yes - I'll jump in here - market orders with SIRI are a good way to slit your own wrists.....Quote:

rick Id be interested in that code as well. BTW it's $50 to transfer out of sharebuilder. I started the process to TDA yesterday.Quote:

That's odd. Seriously, I've never had any trouble buying siri with a market order. Now I wouldn't do that with a smaller cap stock, that's how you can really get screwed.
But without sounding like I'm bragging, and please just take it as information, my last buy was 300,000 at .07. It was a huge gamble as it was Feb. 12 and it wasn't certain that they would avoid bankruptcy. But I had so much money in this stock from the past four years and my cost basis was 3.09 and I didn't see sirius coming back to there anytime soon if ever. Anyway, point is it was a market order, came in several chunks but none out of range. Not to say you couldn't get screwed, that's always a chance you take. But you also take the chance of getting your order filled, especially if it's large if you do a limit. Frankly, I probably would have missed out that day had a given it that much thought. As it is, that .07 buy lowered my cost basis to .60
Just checked the website - I can referr friends/associates online directly in my TDA account - so anyone you know - including myself - that has a TDA account can get a bonus for the referral....
Let me dig on the details a bit more and I'll post them....
Not yet - but I have some powder now and they are both on my list to check out... I'm having so much of an easier time with my new account I should be able to really do some tradingQuote:

Rick, sorry, I also meant to say I never use stops.
and of course my disclaimer.....
I am not a professional stock adviser, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night!:p
The new Mazda3 has no rhinestones or sparklecats, but the top-of-the line S Grand Touring comes loaded with automatic headlights, rain sensing wipers, bi-xenon headlamps, Adaptive Front Lighting (AFS), Dual zone climate control, heated seats, heated mirrors with integrated turn signals, Bluetooth everything, Ford-like interior lighting, leather, full-color navigation, Sirius satellite radio, 8-way power drivers seat and a blasting Bose Centerpoint sound system. These are typically features reserved for high-end Cadillacs and Lexi, right? Never on a sub-compact and surely not on a Mazda. These are the folks that have brought us the near-naked MX-5 through all these years — and it has stayed simple and beautiful. Has Mazda gone soft?
Rick,
What do you think for the close? It looks like we'll have a weak one, and if we get another buyer towards the end we may close green, hopefully. I think some of us were hoping for a bit more today, but it looks like we'll stay rangebound without news.:(
sent an email to TDA account services. I'm trying to get them to send me a referral code - so you can just take the code and use it to apply for your initial account. The TDA promotion page is not loading - so I went straight to them.
I'll fill you all in - probably just start another thread outside the intraday to cut down on clutter (so Newman doesn't kill me)
we're swinging around too much to have a definitive call on close. I'd say a range between .355 and .365... but EOD - shorts don't like to sit over the weekend - anything can happen.... I'd look back over the last month and average out the rise over each fridays close...Quote:

Now I have a cost basis of .55 and feel very comfortable.

Glad to know someone else is still holding shares over $1. Comfortable is a good place to be, good for you!
NITE just came out of nowhere. Bastards. Trying to keep the close under .37.
