ffffuuu man...It sucks it comes down to that for some people. It doesn't need to be that way. R.I.P. 

Best disclosure statement ever:

In a seekingalpha article about GMCR, where the author questions their accounting practices (which were investigated by the SEC), the author wrote this disclosure at the end:

I thought he was making it up when I first read this, but Crazy Eddie, at least, is real.  Hard to top that disclosure!

One of the securities I've been holding for about 6 months just did a stock split... and etrade charged me a $20 "reorg processing" fee.  Is that normal?

 InverseProphet, my only experience with splits was with EDZ which is a triple bear ETF through Scottrade and it was a reverse split and no charges for the split..

I did have to wait a day or 2 before the shares were available for trade but no fee.

Maybe because EDZ  was an index ETF and not a stock equity may have something to do with it but not sure..

You guys looked at Sugar these days?  Im thinking about going long SGG if it drops down to 70 area and short Hershey.  for a little pair trade i think ppl call it.

brazil is harvesting now so supply could be nearing max.

what u guys think?

U.S. jobless claims drop 27,000 to 365,000

edit stupid font copy from marketwatch.com lol

I wonder if they’ll ever use real unemployment numbers? (jobless claims?)

• U1 : Percentage of labor force unemployed 15 weeks or longer.
• U2 : Percentage of labor force who lost jobs or completed temporary work.
• U3 : Official unemployment rate per ILO definition.
• U4 : U3 + "discouraged workers", or those who have stopped looking for work because current economic conditions make them believe that no work is available for them.
• U5 : U4 + other "marginally attached workers", or "loosely attached workers", or those who "would like" and are able to work, but have not looked for work recently.
• U6 : U5 + Part time workers who want to work full time, but cannot due to economic reasons.

U6 Is perhaps the most comprehensive measure of labor resource unemployment available.

nice post.. always wanted to know what the real numbers were considering all variables. i anticipate that % to be higher later in the year as companies cut costs to improve margins

Man, the power David Einhorn wields is sickening.  HLF is now in the 48's ..... It's almost like when someone who tweets about a stock and it jumps a few percentages except it's on a much larger scale.  When Einhorn shows up on a conference call acting skeptical, your stock gets obliterated.

Top 10 gainers in the first half hour of trading:

KNSY    Kensey Nash    38.37    32.26%
MGAM    Multimedia Games Holding Comp    14.24    21.09%
IO    ION Geophysical Corporation    7.30    15.89%
ELLI    Ellie Mae Inc    14.66    14.89%

CNQR    Concur Technologies    64.94    12.00%
MSTR    Microstrategy Inc'A'    157.92    11.18%

Its crazy how much he can move a stock.

Bernanke is taking a page from this lesson. No need for QE3, just keep talking about it as if it will happen, you get the same result.
