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...

I have written about RIM as a company and as a stock so many times before, and I've always bashed it. I always thought it was too expensive, that the company has no future, that it will go bankrupt soon, that it won't recover, etc... I did say though, at...

I have written about Yahoo before, and how the company (and its stock) has no future. Some of my opinions were wrong (but some of them were right, remember that post about Netflix a few days ago before it crashed yesterday?), but do I now think that my...

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...

Many beginners in the stock market, as well as would be part-time stock traders, want to know who sets the price of stocks. They think that there's an entity/organization who is responsible of setting the price of a stock. Now while stocks in the US are...

I have previously explained wash trading, which is an illegal and prohibited practice for a long time now. However, there is a similar stock trading activity that is legal in some situations and practiced all the time, it is called a wash sale. A wash...
