I grabbed it! Thanks We'll see if it works considering the "non-transferable" language. I set up an account and funded it but the application is still pending and since my email was sitting in the waiting list, I wouldn't be surprised if they kick me.

It's not sexy, but after losing about 7% between market closing yesterday and opening today, ATVI's going to end up a little bit overall. Making a little bit of money feels really good when you start off feeling like you were looking at a solid loss. v Fair enough, I shouldn't have said going to end up, but still a much better outlook than it was after the initial tumble. rare Magic card l00k fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Feb 6, 2015 |

Broccoli Cat posted:TDAmeritrade master race checking in...although I've had it since the account was with Datek and I'm simply too lazy to mess with it. Me too. In ~1999, Datek had the cheapest rates for online trading. I've made fewer than one trade a year since ~2006, so I haven't bothered to switch to anything that is cheaper for more active trading. DNova posted:I tend to assume that people in this thread are making more than 2 trades a month. Probably most of the regular posters are, but maybe there's also some folks like myself, who are here to listen, learn, occasionally provide a perspective, but not actively trade (yet). For myself, I would like to be trading, but spare money beyond what I'm putting into retirement savings and leisure is going into a backlog of deferred maintenance on my house, for at least the next year or two. My goal is to be more prepared to dip my toes into the market in a couple of years, although this is a pretty lazy and low-effort way of getting that preparation.

Looks like Yahoo has re-coupled with reality over the past week That is reversed (so the >50% is the past 2 days, and the very right side of the x-axis is the IPO date). Easy money gone.

I think these idiot central bankers have lost control of the 'price stability' part of their mandate. Oil is bouncing around like a low float penny stock. Stocks indexes are up and down 3% a week now. Forex pairs are having a years worth of moves in a day. Even the vol in bond yields has become completely unhinged around the world. The SNB loses a large part of their GDP in a day unpegging and then decides to try and peg again a week later at a lower range; all while the Dutch come out with 3 rate cuts in a week which brings rates negative to the point of where you end up getting paid to take out a mortgage. Can't wait for the wheels to come completely off their little price fixing show as rates go to infinity while the stock market heads straight to 0 at precisely the same time. Probably when Greece tells Europe thanks for the memories and sticks them with the bill and causes everything to implode under the weight of all the unpayable debt. Perhaps then they can be forced out of the intervention game for good and things can finally start to improve. At least until then puts are still pretty cheap.

Arkane posted:Don't mistake an undervalued stock going up for volatility. GM has a beta of 1, which means its about as volatile as the S&P 500 as a whole. Beta is not a measure of volatility. GM is significantly more volatile than the S&P 500, which you can check, but should be obvious considering the latter is a fairly broad index.

I've got a list of stocks I'm interested in. Is there a handy way to grab key statistics from them for somewhere? I'm not looking for powerful realtime stuff, more like wanting to see things like trade volume. I'd prefer not to do these one at a time, I'm wondering if there's a service (hopefully free) that will let me either look up a list and get certain key stats, or do some sort of mass csv download which I can throw in excel.

Looking at a chart, it doesn't look that much more volatile than the S&P 500, which is why it doesn't have a high beta.

As coal prices remain depressed the power industry will continue with coal. As soon as prices start rising again due to all the mines shutting down the industry will just move away from coal due to the projected long term issues with it. Coal providers will continue making revenue for years to come but growth will reverse. Your throwing money at a failing industry in the hope of one last rebound. I'd liken it to whale oil many years ago, it got hard to acquire and there were better options.

Coal generation is shutting down left and right and getting retrofitted to gas/oil dual fuel in droves. It may be 50% of the current mix but that pie piece is shrinking not growing. Hell, just look into NRG's plans going forward.

Arkane posted:??? You have two stocks, X and Y. x and y are the daily returns, and Y's daily returns follows: y = x + N(0, 1). What is the beta of y with respect to x? ~1 What is the volatility of y? It will be larger than x's, and perhaps significantly so. This is just a toy example obviously, but the equation given is essentially the situation you're claiming with beta 1, alpha ~ 0. What you're missing is the noise, which can lead to very different volatilities. Consider two products that are entirely uncorrelated. Does that mean 1 of them has 0 volatility? Which one? Also, look at the implied vols for SPY options and GM options expiring on the same day, ~18% versus ~24%. Eyeballing volatility is kind of crazy... There should be a realized vol number somewhere for both.
