Can you buy/sell stocks 24/7?
 

Or are there set times that you can do so only

You can only buy and sell when the market is open.

But due to different timezones, I guess you could buy stock in different countries pretty much around the clock in the week at least.

Only when the market in question is open.

:thumbsup

but nothing is really stopping him from posting a thread at 3am on gfy, offering to buy/sell given stock...
"2 GOOG stocks for sale, only $650, payment via epass only" :1orglaugh

don't waste your time with stocks.

buy gold and silver!

it's a bull market right now.
it should last another 5 to 10 years.

the time to BUY is...NOW!!!

i'm already up $1700 in 2 weeks.

Buying gold/silver/etc is pure speculation... There is really no good reason why gold/silver should significanly go up in price for the next 5/10 years... with companies there IS a good reason why price would go up, they innovate, come up with new products, etc, so each year their profits increase and the share prices goes up...

I've heard of after hours trading, I believe you can only buy or sell while the market is open. And you can place orders and market triggers anytime. That way when a stock hits a price you predetermined, it will buy or sell the stock. This is more convenient than just sitting and waiting for something to happen, and is typically faster.

What about Uranium? I'm bullish on gold, but I'm mostly invested in Uranium. You need to check that one out, because China is building alot of powerplants, and gas is becomming scarce and expensive!

Happy investing!

uranium and gold stocks are great!

i would buy gold short term and uranium long term.

I still like my penny stocks. They are very risky and a big gamble but you can make money fast with them.

i'm already making money with gold and silver.
you may be right about the BULL market not lasting 5 to 10 years, but when you hear everyone and their mother starting to buy gold that's when you sell.
not many people are onto gold and silver as of yet!

america is in debt to the hilt! the american dollar is WEAK! we borrow money from countries like china who have an enormous econony. we borrow then borrow again and are not paying off our debts. sooner or later these countries will start trading in euros because they will get more for their money. they will also get tired of loaning us money and NOT being payed back. so where does that leave america?

the new fed guy say's one of the greatest inventions ever invented was the printing press and he would print money and throw it out of helicopters if need be. this will only lead to serious inflation or even worse.

in march, iran plans to open their own stock market to sell oil traded with euros instead of US dollars. even if the US were to attack under the disguise of ridding them of their n*uk ambitions, the war in it's self would have these metals to rise. iran is not going to be a cake walk like iraq. besides, we still haven't resolved the issue with iraq as of yet. mo money, mo money, mo money!

everday prices seem to go up for everything we buy, but our incomes go up very little in comparison. i see HYPER INFLATION in the wings and if you don't have some kind of hedge, you will lose everything you have.

i will be ready to buy uranium this week! i just opened an account with scottrade.

what do you recommend???

If that's true we will soon be at war with Iran.. Saddam tried to sell oil in Euro's and look where that got him. Practically the first thing we did when we invaded Iraq was to change oil sales back to US dollars.

Right now the major thing that keeps the US dollar as the defacto currency world wide is because oil is only allowed to be bought and sold in U.S dollars. Oil has replaced gold as to the worth of the dollar.

If Iraq or Iran was able to sell oil in Euros it would start a domino effect as there are a lot of countries that would love to buy oil in Euros because they lose a ton of money buying in U.S dollars.

also don't think we would need to invade Iran.. We didn't do a full invasion of Iraq the first time. We pounded them with cruise missiles and bombs. Then did a quick trip across the desert but didn't stay.

A war against Iran would likely be the same. We would bombard them via air power and cruise missiles. We would take out their infrastructure just like we did with Iraq the first time leaving them under sanctions for years.

We would have no need at al to invade Iran, so their ground troops would have little effect on us. Their air power couldn't match ours so the biggest threat would be anti-aircraft weapons.

good replies boys

I can place orders 24/7 but they won't happen until the market is open . . . . how can you buy something at a place that is closed?

I'm investing in Cameco Corporation (the biggest miner around), low risk, like a large cap. 40%

Denison Mines and Energy Resources of Australia 30%

and Paladin Resources and Southern Cross Resources (is merging with Aflease). = high risk stocks 30%

Shood give you a nice mix.

You don't. You can only trade stock when market is open (I wouldn't touch after hours markets). You could go for futures, that are tradeable 24/7.

ive noticed that after a day, stocks will end at a certain price, then the next morning the price will be completely different
why is that?

Yeah but if WW3 happens, gold and silver will be worth something, compagnies no.

I'm no expert but that would be after hour trading.

it's gonna happen sooner the we think!!!

9a to 4pm , u can also do after hrs trades but i never do

that's because people buy and sell gold and silver all day long.

it's kinda like the stock market. it goes up and down then back up again.
(hopefully)

a bull market is when everyone wants in.
so even though you have lots of people selling,
you'll also have more people buying then selling which raises the price.

thanks for the heads up!
i'll look into it...TODAY!!!!

one more bump

some institutions on some exchanges are allowed after hours and pre-market trading.

that is sure to go up a few times in 2006
thats guarantee with Europe and USA pushing like fucking crazy

make 0.10 on the dollar easy..... 10% return guarantee :thumbsup

You really think so? :winkwink:

The market right now is in black tar heroin.
Hit me up for some good pointers.

take a look at scotttrade.com I think it is.

Well, gold prices now-a-days are generally tied with peoples confidence in the dollar. Gold going up significantly is generally a flight from inflation. Granted you could look at it from a market demend (ie. short term gold prices have been thrown a bit off by a fairly large increase in chinese demand) standpoint but then that really is just speculation like you said. :)
