What's the discount, how long do you have to hold it, and who do you work for? You don't have to answer that last one specifically. Just think, would you invest in your employer?

Anyone heard of robinhood.com? Its suppose to be $0 commission trades. I signed up months ago and finally got early access but its for the iphone only. I got 3 invites to it and if anyone wants one, pm your email address

The name, zero commission, and especially iphone only make it sound really fishy. Or maybe even phishy. What's their business model?

I suspect they make money on spread. e.g. you pay $16.93 for a share that they buy for $16.90 or somewhere around that. It's neat in that it's cheaper for small purchases than a flat fee, but problematic in that you don't know what the actual market price is...

Unless your siding purchase is years away, stocks aren't a really good place to put your money that you want to use towards it. Unfortunately there aren't really any good alternatives either.

Any thoughts on the level of risk involved with trading on the volatility in UWTI (3x leveraged oil)?

I can't see oil moving much further south so it seems any large movement would be very asymmetric, while getting in and out to take smaller profits.

So a friend of mine talked to me about this little company he invested in, and he sees it going places. I looked into it and I see it going places too. I kind of want to buy a few shares. It's considered a penny stock so it won't really cost me shit and learning how this works could be a neat distraction.

How would I go about buying stock in this company? I don't know shit about stock, but say I just wanted to put $100 in it for shits and giggles, where would I go to do that?

Buying hundreds of a card at 5 cents and selling them for 6 dollars is pretty good. :p
I can't say I didn't walk into this.

Speaking of, it's probably a good time to sell off all of my Treasure Cruises and Dig Through Times.

What about a magic card penny stock
Might as well just go buy currency like the Yen right now. really though its true, the dollar is at its strongest in like 8 years. market gonna crash soon, over valued stocks, to much debt, subprime lending again in different markets.
