While writing an article yesterday on the difference between the NASDAQ composite and the NASDAQ 100 indexes I thought of something. When was the NASDAQ actually created? And who created it? And why is NASDAQ called NASDAQ? So I did a research to find...

Some investors believe that the NASDAQ composite index is the same as the NASDAQ 100 index. So are these investors right, and if there is a difference, what is it? To answer the first question, these investors are wrong, the NASDAQ composite is...

When I first started trading stocks, I shrugged when I heard the term spider. I had no idea what it was, and yet I felt ashamed to ask my friends because it seemed to be something taught to investors in "trading stocks 101". In any case, I did my...

One of my friends asked me earlier today, "How can I buy Facebook stock"? Apparently my friend was so eager to invest in this social revolution that he forgot that he's not a millionaire (although I wish he was). Now why am I saying that my friend needed...

New traders are often not clear on how much time it takes an order to get filled. Sometimes an order is filled instantly, sometimes it takes hours. So what is the average fill time of an order? While there's no scientific data on this, I think it's...

While checking an item on Amazon (NYSE:AMZN) this morning, I thought about its stock, is it overvalued? Since Amazon is a website, it's easy to determine whether its overvalued or not by comparing its traffic for the last 12 months to its stock price over...

I have written before about Netflix, thinking the stock was way overvalued at $132 a share. Of course, whoever reads the article now will laugh, since the stock is now trading at $210! Do I still stick to what I've said before? Absolutely, I think now...

With all the current fever about gold, I was thinking, what if I bought a gold bar (those gold bars used in reserve banks that we see either on the news or in movies where thieves try to steal the chest at a federal bank) when gold used to trade at...
