Q: how do you look up after hour stock quotes in scottrade?

A: Look it up on www.cnbc.com under after hours trades at the top.

Q: How can I obtain pre-market and after hours market stock quotes without a delay?
I am already aware of the stock quotes one can get from Yahoo.com, Google.com, nasdaq.com, etc. but they all have a 10 to 15 minute delay. The most important thing for me is to have the quote a close to real time as possible.
I have Ameritrade and I can also make trades after hours. Ameritrade does not allow me to see quotes after hours. Does Fidelity have this feature?
If I want to make a trade, I’d like to know what the current price is without the 15 minute delay.

A: If you have a brokerage account, you can get them. I have one with Fidelity, and I have the ability to trade before and after hours.

Q: Where is a good free place to get after hours stock quotes? Streaming would be nice, anyone know a site?

A: cnbc.com, yahoo finance, or google finance. When you enter the ticker symbol look underneath of it and it usually provides you with the after hours price.

Q: Volume and Percentage Leaders Pre/ After market stock Quotes?
I have level 2 on my Etrade Account and Live streaming on my Yahoo account, I can check any stock pre or after market if I type in the ticker for it.

What I need to know is how to get a pre/after market live lists of the leaders/ losers in pre/after market hours without typing in the tickers.

Obviously I would not know the leaders/losing tickers to type in. I need one like the Yahoo losers/ leaders lists during normal hours, or the top/bottom 10 losers/winners on my Etrade account, both of these services are blank pre market.

Any Advice will be appreciated

A: Create a portfolio view

Q: Why is it that one day there will be an “after-hours-quote” for a stock and the next day not?

A: The most likely answer is that on the second day there were no shares traded after-hours. Thus no quote.

Q: does after hours trading indicate where the stock will open the next day? ?
What can i take from an after hours quote for the next day of trading!

A: No. The market generally trades by consensus. In after-hours trading, there are only a few market participants, and therefore the price does not accurately reflect the market consensus.

Q: Where can I buy stocks after-hours?
I see stock prices quoted as “in after-hours trading”. Where can retail customers buy stocks after the exchanges close?

A: At Fidelity or Schwab. You can get real time quotes and Level II quotes, too. But be careful, and be sure to set your limit orders. There’s extremely low volume and I sometimes wonder if somebody isn’t artificially jacking up the prices with a few hundred shares to start the feeding frenzy.

Q: How to identify price/qty combinations when trading stock after hours?
If I am correct trades will only be placed after-hours when quantity and price combinations match (i.e. if person a is trying to sell qty 1000 of stock x for $21 the trade will only go through if another person tries to buy qty 1000 of stock x for $21).

If this is right, how does one determine what price/qty combos are available? I thought level ii quotes was useful for this but I’m finding on thinkorswim that they do not display during extended hours…
I just chatted with someone about this and now I’m thinking I am completely wrong about qty/price having to match?

A: Check Prophet Charts, they show closest bid/ask and last trade during extended hours and extended hours volume while extended markets are open. Also check regular TOS charts which can be set to display extended hours trading. Or you can get a list of actual extended hours trades at nasdaq.com.

Extended hours trading is limit orders only (unless you are foolish), but if someone wants to buy or sell they may try to match an order out there or walk it in until they get a nibble. It is possible that you might get a partial fill. Some brokers have all or none, but I cannot find that on TOS.

Q: Little help figuring out stock prices?
I understand the basics on stock prices, however what I dont understand is how a stock can close one day at say $40 but the second the market reopens you will see the stock at $50 how? you would think it would have to move up to that price not just open at that price? Also I was looking at after hours quote for LEND and the price is 7.04 however the ask price is 8.00 does that the stock will move up on Monday morning durning the market.

A: Stock prices can open much higher or lower than the prevous close because of an imbalance of supply and demand. If some news occurs ater the prerious day’s close — for instance, news comes out that a company that had a closing price of $50 per share is the object of a takeover bid at $100 a share — then there will be huge demand for that stock at the open, and it will rapidly run up. Or the news could be bad — for example, after the market close, news comes out that federal authorities are investigating the company for making false reports — the stock could easily open at 50% lower than it closed. Technically, the higher opening is called a “gap up,” and the lower opening is called a “gap down.”
Also, you should ignore bid-ask spreads after the close. They mean nothing.

Q: If you make a limit for the stock your buying, and the online brokerage firm buys it at a higher price.?
If you make a limit for the stock your buying, and the online brokerage firm buys it at a higher price than you specified. Can the online brokerage firm put you in that price without consent. Also, this trade was done over the computer.
What if a stock goes up in after hours, but when you go to purchase the stock they were qouting you the previous market close. Instead of quoting what the stock was opeining up for.

A: Due to the way a limit orders and stop orders work they did exactly what you asked them to do.

This is how a limit order works:

You put in a bid to buy 100 shares at $45, it is currently at $47. Once there is a trade during normal business hours that is at or below your limit order of $45 your order goes in as a market order and is filled at the “best” available price. the only time you will get it filled at the limit price is if there is adequate liquidity and a seller willing to sell it to you at that price.

What when wrong for you;
It could be any one of a number of things, for example if there is a large bid ask spread (bid of $44.99 and an ask of $45.15) someone sell at the market their trade goes off at $44.99, the best available bid, your limit order becomes a market order to buy at best available price which is $45.15, not $45.00.
Or there could be a large number of limit orders that were placed before yours was and in essence they are in line before you to be filled, the buying causes the price to shoot up, and you are filled at a much higher price.

Illiquid stocks have there pitfalls, and a limit or stop order in not a guarantee to be filled at the price you set in the order.

Q: Yahoo finance question- pre opening/after hours?
OK, I am just a novice investor, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. How come on Yahoo Finance, sometimes after hours quotes or pre market quotes are listed and other times they are not? I’m not talking weekends and holidays, here. Today is Tuesday and I see no premarket on the stocks I track, but other times I do. Is it only for big movers?
Now it is 9 am the opening bell is in a half hour, and the premarket quote has been posted.

A: First of all, not all stocks trade after hours. And for those that do, there might not be much volume. So if there’s no trades, there’s probably no quote.

Second, Yahoo has had a “few” glitches lately where all sorts of stuff doesn’t show up. Not good if you depend on them for your info, but ok if you’re just checking in here/there.

One place you can go for aftermarket quotes is directly to nasdaq.com. IOn the left there, you’ll see a link for aftermarket hours.

It’s not the best solution, but it should give you an idea if you’re just looking to see what’s up.

The other place is via a broker. I pull up my brokerage acct each morning and you can always see the bid/ask that’s out there at the time which’ll usually reflect where the stock is at that moment.

Hope that helps!

Q: Freddie Mac UP to $7.43 in after hours trading! Did u sell?
A lot of people were in shock, and possibly on respirators today as stock closed @ $.88. High @ closing was $3.60. Hang on to this if you did not sell. All the weekend hype was to get you to sell so the govt could buy to earn a 10% dividend on the infusion $.

See: http://data.cnbc.com/quotes/fre

A: Of course, we knew it would be like this.

Hang on at least a lil bit longer then sell the heck out of it!

Q: Proving just cause for voluntarily leaving employment for unemployment benefits purposes?
Have already filed and was denied benefits because (and I quote) “i quit my job rather than perform assigned work as instructed.” I’m filing an appeal and I’m looking for advice on proving that I had just cause in quitting. Below is a short summary of what was going on leading up to me walking out.

1) New owners took over the business with less than 24 hours notice given to employees.
2) I never interviewed for nor was I given any choice in accepting employment with the new owners, I just suddenly became their employee. (I worked in a gas station for almost 2 years and did not have any kind of employment contract to be sold or transferred.)
3) The new owners came in and went about introducing new equipment, for which no training was provided. In particular, they put a completely different register system in and provided absolutely no training to me or the girl I opened the store with every morning. I had to fight with the register system to do my job due to this lack of training, and basically taught myself enough to be able to ring the customers up but not to do shift closeouts or log into the system even.
4) New owners also implemented new policies and procedures for which no training or information was provided. In particular, safe drop procedures, charge account procedures, how to handle paid outs, who was allowed to stock lottery and when, cigarette counts that we were told to do but not provided with any paperwork or instructions on when or how to do them. My job duties were changed without being clearly explained or defined.
5) New owners verbally informed us that drawer shortages, change bag shortages, drive offs and hot checks would be taken from the employee’s paycheck. I was never shown or given any kind of consent form to sign. Also, the new owner’s were trying to hold one person responsible for a drawer that several employees may have accessed throughout the shift. Same thing with the change bag which was always accessible to all employees.
6) I was unable to contact someone in charge on more than one occasion. Particularly while on doctor’s orders to stay home until fever broke and on the morning that I ended up walking out. Finally contacted someone after several hours of trying and got an attitude because I woke them up. Reason I was trying to get ahold of someone: My coworker was ill and had been trying to contact them for a couple hours before coming to work that morning. Also we were unable to log into the lottery system or sell powerball/megamillions tickets because log in stuff had been changed and no one had told us or left us any instructions or a note of any kind. The third reason was that the walk in cooler was running excessively warm according to the milk man.
7) I really and truly believe that the new owners deliberately went about doing things in such a manner as to create a hostile work environment with the sole intention of getting as many of the people who were making more than minimum wage to quit, so they could bring in new employees at minimum wage, thus saving themselves quite a bit each week on payroll. I believe this because second shift employees who were mostly right at or just above minimum wage were receiving training on the new registers and new policies and procedures, while those of us on first shift (mon-fri core crew) had all been there for an extended period and were making at least $8/hr or more, weren’t being given any training. I personally was making $8.50/hr. I was supposed to keep making what I had been before the takeover thanks mostly to my manager who had argued for us all to keep our wages instead of being bumped to minimum wage, on the grounds that some of us had been there for several years and were good solid employees. However, both times I received a paycheck from them it was at minimum wage. The first time it took 3 days to finally get ahold of someone in charge, and I was told to come back two days later. The second time it took 5 days to get ahold of someone in charge and then they didn’t want to pay me at $8.50. They tried to pay me cash at $7.25 without taking taxes out, then through a big fit about how they could pay me the $8.50 but they would have to take taxes out. The manager was down right rude about it and I could hear her on the phone in the back being snotty about how I “just wanted to make sure I was being paid what I was owed” when she was dealing with whoever she had to call to get approval. Seriously though they didn’t even cut me a check for the time. I had to go actually ask to be paid for the time they still owed me.
8) I was not the first person from my shift to walk out. Three other people including the previous manager had all walked out before the morning my coworker and I walked out together.

Any advice on what to say or how to phrase it that will help me to prove my case will be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
Actually, the company I was working for sold the business location, NOT their company. The company I was originally working for still exists and is still owned by the same people. In addition, the previous company was not paying Overtime at time and a half as per law, and is currently being investigated by the labor board for this reason. Don’t know if this makes any difference though.

A: Since this is long I will go by the numbers too.

1) Doesn’t matter.

2) You weren’t transferred, you weren’t sold. You work for the company, the company was sold. it does not matter who owns the company.

3) Okie Dokie. Since you were not harmed this is a no harm no fawl, it is not like they fired you.

4) This will work to your advantage if these duties are outside your profession and completely differant then your “previous” job.

5) Unless you were the one accused of stealing this is not just cause to quit.

6) again,. a bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with you quiting.

7) These will likely do it, I hope you have some documentation though, your “feelings” and “thoughts” are not facts. You need to go in there with cold hard facts of not only what they did, but what you did to try and recify the situation.

* U.S. stock futures sink (Adds Washington Mutual failure, Waxman on McCain, Paulson meeting)

By Tom Ferraro and Richard Cowan

WASHINGTON, Sept 25 (Reuters) – A rescue for the U.S. financial system unraveled on Thursday amid accusations Republican presidential candidate John McCain scuppered the deal, and Washington Mutual was closed by U.S. authorities and its assets sold in America’s biggest ever bank failure.

As negotiations over an unprecedented $700 billion bailout to restore credit markets degenerated into chaos, the largest U.S. savings and loan bank was taken over by authorities and its deposits auctioned off. U.S. stock futures fell by more than 1 percent.

The third-largest U.S bank JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM) said it bought the deposits of Washington Mutual Inc (WM), which has seen its stock price virtually wiped out because of massive amounts of bad mortgages. The government said there would be no impact on WaMu’s depositors and customers. JPMorgan said it would be business as usual on Friday morning.

Had a bailout deal been reached in Congress, it may have helped the savings and loan, founded in Seattle in 1889. Efforts to find a suitor to buy WaMu faltered in recent days over concerns about whether the government would reach a deal to buy its toxic mortgages.

Earlier on Thursday, U.S. lawmakers had appeared close to a final agreement on the bailout, lifting world stock markets and sending the dollar higher. But things spun off course during an emergency White House meeting between Congressional leaders with U.S. President George W. Bush.

In advance of that meeting, which included the two men battling to succeed him, Democrat Barack Obama and McCain, a compromise bipartisan deal seemed imminent.

After the session, Congressional leaders said an agreement could take until the weekend or longer.

Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby bluntly told reporters, “I don’t believe we have an agreement.” He later said the deal was in “limbo.”

Democrats said McCain had scuppered the anticipated agreement by throwing his support behind that scheme.

“Sen. McCain has sided with the House Republicans who want to start with a completely different approach and reject what President Bush put forward,” said Rep. Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

“It’s hard to imagine where we go from here,” he said.

The conservative group’s plan calls for the U.S. government to offer insurance coverage for the roughly half of all mortgage-backed securities that it does not already insure. ID:nN25133375

The architects of the original plan, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, rushed to Capitol Hill for late night meetings to urge House Republicans to get back on track.

“It is critical that this legislation get done quickly,” White House spokesman Tony Fratto said. “We have serious concerns about the state of our credit markets.”

U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd said a deal could take beyond Friday to reach and took a firm swipe at McCain, who returned from his presidential campaign to try to broker a deal.

“What this looked like to me was a rescue plan for John McCain for two hours,” Dodd told CNN. “To be distracted for two to three hours for political theater doesn’t help.”

INJECTION OF POLITICS

Also speaking to CNN, Obama said of McCain’s involvement, “The concern that I have … is that when you start injecting presidential politics into delicate negotiations then you can actually create more problems rather than less.”

Earlier, news that a deal was near stabilized beleaguered money markets, frozen by a reluctance by banks to lend. The rate on one-month U.S. Treasury bills shot higher as traders unwound safe-haven trades. ID:nN25533665

Still, officials from France to China voiced alarm.

“A crisis of confidence without precedent is shaking the global economy,” French President Nicolas Sarkozy said in a speech in Toulon, France.

As Thursday’s meeting began, Bush warned, “We’re in a serious economic crisis in the country if we don’t pass a piece of legislation.”

U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, the powerful Democratic chairman of the House Financial Services Co
.S. Rep. Barney Frank, the powerful Democratic chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said before the Bush meeting that the deal would give the money to the U.S. Treasury in installments rather than a $700 billion lump sum the Bush administration wanted.

The enormity of the deal, which would cost every man, woman and child in the United States about $2,300, led many lawmakers to ask Paulson during two days of rancorous hearings this week to take the cash in installments.

The bailout exceeds total lending by the International Monetary Fund since its inception after World War II. The IMF has loaned $506.7 billion since 1947 to countries in crisis as far flung as Argentina, Britain, Turkey and South Korea.

Frank also said the deal would allow the government to take part-ownership of banks and ban companies that sell toxic assets to the government from paying massive “golden parachutes” to executives being fired.

Reflecting that the current crisis appears to be the
most serious since the Great Depression of the 1930s, fresh Federal Reserve data showed U.S. banks and money managers have borrowed a record $188 billion daily in recent days from the Fed — a daily amount roughly equal to Argentina’s annual economic output.

“This looks like the balance sheet of a central bank that is keeping the financial system on life support,” said Michael Feroli, U.S. economist with JPMorgan in New York.

The swirl of political theater and meetings in Washington followed fresh turbulence in the world economy.

In Asia, hundreds of people lined up outside the Hong Kong branches of the Bank of East Asia Ltd 0023.HK, some sleeping there overnight, to withdraw their savings.

China’s banking regulator sought to reassure jittery financial markets, denying a report that it had told local banks to stop lending to U.S. banks.

INTENSE BAILOUT TALKS

The crisis comes after a month of turbulence marked by the government’s takeover of mortgage companies Fannie Mae FNM.P and Freddie Mac FRE.P, the bailout of insurer American International Group Inc (AIG), and the bankruptcy filing of investment bank Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc LEHMQ.PK.

Concern lingered that even with a bailout, the United States may stumble, prompting a global slowdown.

German Finance
Minister Peer Steinbrueck said one outcome of the crisis would be a less dominant role for the United States in the global financial system.

“The United States will lose its superpower status in the world financial system. The world financial system will become more multipolar,” he said.
