It was transparently oversold, probably easiest trade we'll ever see. I could not agree more. Possibly the slam dunk trade of the decade.

For some reason GM is up 13% over the last couple months so I am taking my profits and running. My boring dividend stocks should not be so volatile. Will buy again if price crashes like an ignition switch failure.

My father-in-law was trying to convince me to buy AMD around $4 and I kept resisting, and saying he probably shouldn't hold onto it, either. I was vindicated once it dropped so far, and then bought a bunch at ~$2.65 admittedly partially to spite him.

GM has a beta of 1, which means its about as volatile as the S&P 500 as a whole. We've also had plenty of new information in the past couple of months which bolsters the case that the company is undervalued.

I've been holding 20 shares of AMD since I bought them. For $35.80 a share. On January 20, 2006. They sit in my portfolio as an object lesson and reminder about not buying stocks just because you like a company's products or because you made money on the stock before, not holding a loser past a certain point, and and not gambling with real money when you have no idea what you're doing.

Was someone just trying to dump 8,400 shares at whatever price they could get rid of them, and some lucky bastard scooped them up at a 13% discount? Or is it something more obvious or more nebulous?

Can anyone explain the 1$ gain on amd this week, and why it will no doubt plummet since I have positions in it? The new CEO looks pretty decent, but I really don't understand why it's going up.

I have gm 5yr beta with a monthly frequency at 1.69 and 1.40 in weekly, as measured against sp500. How are you calculating at 1? I'm getting about to 1 after adjusting and unlevering, so I am a little shocked to see a calculation for the equity beta being 1.

I opened a robinhood account and all of it is so disarmingly simple that it makes me feel like I'll be on an episode of American greed in 10 years talking about the brokerage startup that took everyones money, showed them a fake account in a dead simple iphone app, and ran off with the funds.

What's the deal with this Robinhood stuff?  I use TDAmeritrade and have never noticed any kind of outrageous brokerage fees. Then again, I only make a handful of stock trades a year.

Quarterly check in with Tableau's (DATA) numbers... Blowing the estimates away? Check. Guiding higher? Check. Incredibly positive conference call? Check. Huge stock price jump? Check. Now for the slow reversal over the next couple months until the next earnings call where they blow out again.

Probably a really dumb question, but what would be the easiest, laziest, most boring way to "go long" on an entire country like India or South Africa? Can it be as simple as buying EZA or something similar? Do they make sector-and-country-specific funds/ETFs that would be available in a normal old Schwab account, like an Indian REIT and a South African financial ETF? If so, what's the best way to find and compare them?

It's as simple as buying a country ETF. Check the fees though, they tend to be high with niche ETFs. To my surprise there is indeed a South African Financial ETF but it trades in whatever moon currency they're using in South Africa. You'd have to check with your broker to see if they allow you to trade it, and they'll probably hit you hard with fees. I know Tradeking charges something like $50 each way for certain foreign tickers. http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/RAFFIN:SJ It looks like Indian REITs are due in 2016 (Source: google.com)

What brokerage do people use? I've been using Fidelity for a while because that's where my taxable retirement stuff is and it just sort of evolved from there. Individually the commissions weren't killing my gains as it's been higher dollar stuff, but looking at over $200 of commissions for Q4 2014 and 2015 so far. Initial research seems to point to IB.

I started with Zecco which has since merged with TradeKing. $4.95/trade is cheap enough for me. I also have a Roth IRA with Vanguard but haven't contributed for a few years once I opened a Roth with TK.
