<p>"never used but its free,probably sucks because it uses quotemedia"</p>

<p>lol, it's really not that bad. The thing is that you have to refresh it every time you want it to update, but other than that, it works well enough for me on the pennies. For the big boards, I use the TDAmeritrade level 2 service (I'm Apex, so I get it for free)</p>

<p>Also, for those new to investing, check out hotstockmarket.com 's university section. There is a lot of great info in there.</p>

<p>i consider hot stockmarket a pumping forum, its useful for learning stuff but aside from that its PUMP PUMP PUMP.</p>

<p>The 'Stock Talk' group on MySpace isn't half bad either.</p>

<p>Don't really play too many equities. But here is my entire port at the moment (real cash):</p>

<p>CSD/SPY long short: capture tendency for spin-offs to outperform the market. I would personally pick and choose spinoffs but I do not have the times so implemented this position instead. </p>

<p>FICC: This is in the later stages. Went long mid 2. Merger play in the subprime sector. </p>

<p>MWA-B/MWA long short: This is really an experimental position. Have this on to park some idle cash on an interesting situation. You have one class of share which controls a disproportionate amount of the votes being sold at a discount to the "inferior" class. Obviously, not expecting wild returns but want to see how it pans out. </p>

<p>DBV: currency carry basket. I will be winding this down in June/July after which I feel the carry trade will start to unwind. The elections will be done by then and I expect the BOJ to start getting active again.</p>

<p>MOMO plays in the morning are my favs</p>
