optionsxpressNO Optionsxpress sent me an email and told me via phone not to take action on my account to avoid a margin call. They stated that they would tell me in a following email if there was going to be a margin call. I called to confirm this information because I've been told the wrong thing several times by optionsxpress an been misled too many times to count. This time optionsxpress has cost me dearly. They told me there was no immediate need to add money to my account to avoid a margin call. About an hour after that conversation, they liquidated my stock when it was at its ...

In looking at fundamentals, the stock has lost >17% of value in a small amount of time.  I beleive the overall financial markets are bringing this down even though optionsxpress clients have been faring well by utilizing hedging strategies.  The numbers are still going up when it comes to account growth and darts. While it may not be meeting expectations, I believe the P/E of <19 is discounting their potential growth.  They are heavily investing in futures and opening up the trading arena of futures for beginners as well as professionals.  Their commission rate structure seems outdated comp...

OptionsXpress: Going for Broker

All signs point towards increased trading volume in equity options, futures and forex trading. OptionsXpress (OXPS) is among the leaders in discount brokerages that specialize in these areas.

OXPS came public in 2005 and showed nothing but growth through the first half of 2008 before succumbing to the putrid market conditions that followed. The shares had shown good strength through 2007 and then plunged with the markets to bottom at $8.38 /share on March 6th of this year.

    Can Debt Free Selling At Cash Stocks Beat the Dow? Up 29% in Two Months
    Tradinggoddess
     5 %
    Back in March, WallStreetNewsNetwork.com produced a free downloadable Excel spreadsheet database of Debt Free Stocks Selling At Or Near Cash. These are stocks which have virtually no debt and are trading at the amount of cash the company has per share. The reasoning behind choosing such stocks is that without any debt and a lot of cash, it would be hard for the companies to go out of business. In addition, the cash can make the companies takeover candidates.

    If you take a look at the 17 stocks on the list, which shows the trading price as of March 4, 2009, and compare those prices to the cl...

    Low Price to Cash Ratio with No Debt Stocks
    Tradinggoddess
     5 %
    What stock could be better than a company that is debt free and is trading at a price that is below the amount of cash they have per share. In other words, if the company went out of business, it wouldn't have any debts to pay off, and even if they couldn't sell off any of their assets, just the cash in the banks alone would be more than enough to give the investors a profit. The company would have to lose money at an incredible burn rate in order for the investor to lose money. So do such stocks exist? Yes, WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has come up with its latest downloadable and sortable lis...
