 Oh snap! So close to a win with AMAT today. I saw 14%, was about to sell it at 36, but held out for the full 15... ah well, better luck next week, I guess...Originally posted by jiesen View PostYes both AMAT and CNNX look amazing, and will no doubt be the next 2 HUUUUUUUUGGGGGEEEEEEE winners in short order! (or should I start saying YUUUUUUUUUGGGGGEEEE now?)

 Billy, do you have a margin account? I'm not saying you should be on margin but if you are using a cash account and change it to a margin account you needn't worry about settled funds (unless you're fully margined, of course).Originally posted by billyjoe View PostJiesen, I'd be buying more CNNX and AMAT if I had some settled funds today. AMAT's chart is a thing to behold. CNNX raised its dividend and we'll be getting that Tuesday.

 I was just reading an article about margin and IRA accounts. I learned a new term - "Limited Margin": Lookie here: https://www.fidelity.com/learning-ce...in-trading-IRAOriginally posted by billyjoe View PostTrading is all in IRA or Roth.

 My Scottrade account (an IRA) lets me trade using limited margin. I never knew that that's what it's called, but I have been doing it for years, and seldom worry about 'settled funds' when I trade, as a result. I've gotten the wrist slapped a couple times for violating the 'good faith' rule of not selling before you're supposed to... but that's all it is really, just a slap on the wrist... so definitely something to look into if your IRA isn't yet set up for it.Originally posted by blindsquirrel View PostI was just reading an article about margin and IRA accounts.

 My Scottrade allows me only one margin account. So I can't get even limited margin on any other account, not even IRA.Originally posted by jiesen View PostMy Scottrade account (an IRA) lets me trade using limited margin.

 that's odd. I have 3 different accounts with them, a cash account, IRA and a Roth IRA. All 3 allow margin trades (limited for the IRA's). Not sure why they only allow you to have just one... maybe it varies by branch, or something?Originally posted by riverbabe View PostMy Scottrade allows me only one margin account.

 CNX sold (again)
 
 So.... I just sold my CNX (formerly CNXM, formerly CNNX) at a 15% profit (again). Thanks again for this awesome pick, $$MM!!! YOU ARE HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGEEEE!!!!Originally posted by jiesen View Postthat's odd. I have 3 different accounts with them, a cash account, IRA and a Roth IRA.

 I honestly can't figure out why I still had CNX today, since I know I sold it when you did. Probably has to do with the fact that I have multiple TD Ameritrade (formerly Scottrade) accounts, and might have sold one account's CNNX but forgot about the shares I held in the other one...
 
 Anyway, it just now came back to the 15% target again, and I'm out of the rest as well with my 15% gains.... whew!
