Sigh, apparently I am not allowed for full options trading, only covered calls.. I guess that means I will be taking a break from the stock market fun. I'll still watch it everyday, just won't buy anything =(

They denied me because I don't have enough experience. I even put 1 year. Next time I'm putting 5 years lol.

Change brokers.

I have no idea if those options will work out just yet. The trade isn't completely broken yet, just dinged up. Dell has really taken the shit out of tech. Stupid company, go bankrupt like Gateway already.

Haha, I had a gateway. I was pretty young but I remember taking it for service and seeing all these dairy cow designs all over the store. I was thinking to myself these guys better make better use of their time and let go all these goofy store designers before this place goes belly up. Didn't take long.

A friend of mine was trying to convince me to give him a "thumbs up" to buy Dell and I told him he missed the run and the risk vs reward was poor. In Austin lots of young people want to buy Dell, not sure the logic behind that except they might have lived in the same dorm as him. It was up what 20% since previous consolidation levels just a month or two before, your upside for earnings was very limited. I should make him buy me dinner because that stock got decimated.

Picked up some more SKF at 111.00 this afternoon and some appl to start my position. RIMM is getting extremely beat up right now. My friend who is waiting to get his bold and on the email waiting list for it says it won't be available in the usa for another month.

From what I read, already released in Canada and Europe already.

Try TradeKing for options. They may approve you. The commission structure is pretty good as well.

Many of my favorites, just like RIMM, are beat up badly. Great buying opportunity, if I hadn't already shot my wad on, well, lesser opportunities!
