Tradings today

Bought 55 shares of FRM @$9.04;

Bought 50 shares of QXM @9.93 and 50 shares of QXM @9.88, so the average price is $9.91. This is one of the sweetest thing of using Zecco! For example, today I really want to buy QXM again, but the price is looking a bit high, so I first bought 50 shares when it went a bit down (in case it went up too much later), and then it kept going down more, I bought some more. Really need to take advantage of $0 comission fee!

New Lesson Learned today:

1. Look at after hour price/trades: very important parameter for the open price the next day. Also, Google Finance and Zecco provide this – but not every site (btw, MSN Money is so lame! It provides this really nice-looking interactive chart tool, however, when you click on a point, it usually doesn’t show the price. Instead, Google Finance doesn’t require you to install anything and it just works. *sigh*);

2. Look at real-time quotes: Zecco can always returns real-time quote (last sale price), it’s really helpful if you use Limit Order a lot. Fidelity also provides this function, but you either need to open a new window or go ahead and make an order.

Anyways, I’m feeling lazy today, so keep it short. Now that market has gone to a normal state, I need to learn something that works for a good market. A lot to learn from ClearStation (I’m loving it!)… and I just got really into this fiction “The Key” and I want to do some reading tonight!

Homework today (Updated)

Wowwers for www.clearstation.com. Very nicely done stock chart. There are other sites (www.stockcharts.com for example) that have great charts too, but ClearStation explains the technical terms and how you should look at the charts. Hehe.. new things every day!

I’ve gained quite decent return during the period when the market crashed, and now that the market is back to a healthy state, I might need to considering changing my stock pick a little bit, at least not too much rely on the experience that I gained over the last few months.

A few new stocks to study: EMC, PDE

Oh btw, I forgot to mention, my wishlist could have been filled for AEY yesterday (well, 9/18) since it went under $7 early during the day… but I don’t have extra funds in Zecco so I didn’t buy! And today it’s like $8.40. But you know what… just stay calm – you cannot just win for stock.

BTW… in the end I still bought an iPhone…. now I can wake up early in the morning and watch the stock in bed!!
