From: Madam Rita Osborne.
42 Dryden Street,
Leicester, L15,
England.

Here writes Madam Rita Osborne, suffering from cancerous ailment. I am married
to Sir Williams an Englishman who is dead. My husband was into private practice
all his life before his death. Our life together as man and wife lasted for
three decades without child. My husband died after a protracted illness. My
husband and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged
individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to
physical disability or financial predicament.


When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Ten Million Pounds
(10,000,000.00 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling) which were derived from
his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently,
my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous
problems I am suffering from.

I want to know if it is possible to buy more shares of a stock than what the ask/size says there are available. For instance, if I wanted to buy $10,000 worth of shares but there is only $7000 worth being offered is it possible as an investor to buy those extra shares at all on a given day? I hope this makes sense.

I am specifically referring to round trip trades which are part of the definition of a pattern day trader. If a person buys 2000 shares of stock B on a particular day and sells only 5 shares of stock B that same day is it considered a round trip? Could you cite a reference for where you found the definition.

Thanks for the help!

With $50,000, what would be the best thing to do?

Here are some things I've come up with:

A) Pay off my debt, mom's debt, and sister's debt with about $15,000-$20,000 left over

B) Put all the money down on a new house for me and my husband since we are living with parents right now and have a low house payment

C) Put all the money towards a college education for myself which would definitely pay for the first 4 years. (I'm 23 and haven't started college due to financial reasons)

D) invest some in mutual funds or stocks whch I know nothing about

Advice please? Thanks!

How do I figure out a perfect hedge, or near perfect, using options(puts) against a long stock position? For example, I own 500sh of XYZ and I have a 1 point gain in it. I believe the stock will take a hit but I don't want to sell the stock yet . How do I figure out how many puts to buy against the long position to essentially "freeze" the position and lock in the gain, so that no more gains or losses would be possible? This is for a short period of time(3-5 days) so time decay would not be an issue. Basically I want the effect of a shorting against the box, but using options instead. Thanks.

I know economics and finance go hand and hand. I would like to do the occupations I said above. I heard both are good, but I'm not really sure what to pick. Other careers I would like to do is perhaps budgeting(down the line when I want to do something that is less hectic). Thanks in advance.

I am trying to do a portfolio analysis and in this portfolio a few companies were bought out and I am wondering how to obtain the old daily stock quote histories even though the companies no longer exist.

One company in particular traded under the symbol PTF it was then bought out by PWE, now the PTF symbol is already being used by a different company. PTF used to be Petrofund Energy Trust and operated out of Canada, but last July Petrofund Energy Trust was bought out by PWE or Penn West Energy Trust. How do I get the historical trading data of old Petrofund Energy Trust?

So I only have a jist of what sell short means, but I read on another person's answer to a question on what 'sell short' means, that the person who loaned out the share doesn't even know he loaned it out (it's all computerized), so what if right after it's loaned out, the owner wants to sell it?

When does the the person who borrowed the share have to return it?

Also how do you place an order for a short sell? Theres a button for it right below limit and stop, so do I just click that and put in a price. Then after that does the system just borrow stocks for me and them immediatly sell them, and then I choose when to buy them back?

Thanks! sorry if my question is really confusing.
