Hi,
Is it possible if you have an online account in etrade, scottrade, or whatever other brokerage firm, CAN YOU BUY a stock before the stock market opens (”before ringing bell”) like an hour or two hours before for example at 7:30 AM or 8???

They usually call it before market trading, so does your order not get through until market opens or can you buy the stock directly after you put your order in the online account..
Thanks
for example: TT shares went up 23% before market opened and it began rising from 8:00 AM,,, could I have bought some shares from my online account at that time???

I just started investing in stocks this year and am finding the maze of details and information about investing methods overwhelming. I’m also sensing that those who make careers of this are in a much better position to know how to trade, whether using options, calls, puts, etc. I signed up for a number of newsletters from professionals who then try to sell me their services, claiming they have inside information that can make a lot of money. They charge anywhere from $100 to $6,000. for their “inside information”, and while I’m sure they know much more than I do I’m wondering what the rewards vs. risk is if I decide to use their recommendations.

I just don’t understand why so many are losing big money trying to make money in stocks. This year i am making huge profits in the stock market buying call and put options. This market is so easy to make money in but every where i see people losing money and panicking.

Needydude asked:


So can the resident stock market guru explain to me the risks of the following strategy:
Im looking at USO trading at 84.50. If i buy a put 83 strike and call with 85 strike simultaniously, it makes sense that I would profit no matter what direction the stock goes, right? And since both options are out of the money the invesment will not be great either. So is this a plausible strategy?

devhead asked:


I’ve been reading a lot of stock books lately, and I feel a bit overwhelmed with all the info and strategies. I’d like to hear from others what is their best advice and strategies on investing and making money in the Stock market.

For example, sell if it goes down 10%; sell stock in the first hour of the trading day; buy stock in the last hour of the day; use covered calls; buy puts; etc.

Thanks. Hopefully this info can be helpful to others as well.
