Pre-market trading hours on NASDAQ start at 8:00 AM and end at 9:30 AM. After-hours trading hours are from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM. Liquidity is usually thin during these times and limited to the most liquid stocks and ETFs. ECNs have longer trading hours starting as early as 4:15 AM and ending at 7:00 PM but are not open 24/7. Day trades that occur during pre-market or after-hours hours still count toward the pattern day trading rules. The stock market game is different than the real stock market in part because trades in the game have a 10 minute delay, allowing players to make decisions based on future prices.
The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution.

Pharmacology drug interaction hand book figor_igor
This document discusses various types of toxic drug interactions that can occur when two or more drugs are taken together. It describes pharmacodynamic interactions, which occur when drugs have similar pharmacological effects or side effects, and pharmacokinetic interactions, which occur when one drug alters the absorption, metabolism or excretion of another drug. It notes that while many drug interactions are harmless, interactions with drugs that have a narrow therapeutic index or require careful dosage control can be more problematic. The document provides several examples of specific drug interactions to watch out for.
Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons are not considered true Christians based on their beliefs about Jesus and God. Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus was created and not God himself, contradicting the Bible which says Jesus is God manifested in the flesh. Mormons believe humans can become gods like Jesus, but the Bible says there is only one God and nothing created can become God. Key verses used by JWs to argue Jesus is not God are taken out of context and contradicted by other verses, showing Jesus as the creator and sustainer of all things, proving his divinity.

1. Your Questions About Nasdaq Short Interest
Charles asks…
Short interest Ratio (Days to cover). Can someone interpret this??
I know the definition which is: Calculated as the aggregate short interest for the month divided
by the average daily share volume traded between short interest settlement dates. If days to
cover is between 0 and 1, it is rounded up to 1 on Nasdaq.com.
I understand the definition, but can someone interpret the numbers. I mean what does a big
Short interest Ratio (let's say above 5) indicate? and what does a small number indicate as
well?
Thanks in advance.
Steve Winston answers:
If the short interest ratio is 5, it would mean that it would take the shorts sellers 5 days to cover
their short positions. The higher the ratio means that the longer it takes the bears (shorts) to buy
back (cover) the borrowed shares if positive news about the company lifts the price.
A smaller number would indicate less time for a short seller to cover his or her position. In most
cases a short interest ratio of 8 or above would prove to be a very hard to cover stock.

2. Thomas asks…
What are the restrictions of shorting stocks on nasdaq,
nyse,amex?
Why can't you short stocks under $5?, does shorting mean that you have to borrow money
from your broker and pay interest on that money until you cover that short?
Steve Winston answers:
Each brokerage company has rules for shorting. Typically, stocks under $5 are considered too
risky by the broker to short.
When you short, you sell the stock first. And your broker will put the short sale of the proceeds
into your "short" account, where it remains until you buy the stock back, hopefully at a higher
price than what you shorted it for. You'll pocket the difference, less fees into your margin
account. Also, you do not get any dividends from the stock, if any were issued during the time
you are short. You pay the dividends to the owner of the stock.
You do not pay interest on the proceeds from the short sale, nor do you accrue interest from the
proceeds in your short account.

3. Lisa asks…
What are the names and symbols of some "stocks" that mirror the
major indexes as they drop (go short)?
I want to know what "stocks" take advantage of a drop in the various stock indexes. In the
opposite way that "SPYDERS" (SPY) mirrors the S&P going higher and 'QQQ' mirrors the
Nasdaq index.
What are the symbols for the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrials and Nasdaq index that mirrors
those indexes when they are dropping in price? I am not looking for "defensive" stocks, but
those that actually go "short" the major stock indexes. I am also not interested in any mutual
funds that negatively mirror stock indexes.
Thanks for your help.

Finance help needed-interest rate, money markets, annuities?
Money markets are markets for
Foreign currencies.
Consumer automobile loans.
Corporate stocks.
Long-term bonds.
Short-term debt securities such a Treasury bills.
2. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
The most important difference between spot markets versus futures markets is the maturity of
the instruments that are traded. Spot market transactions involve securities that have maturities
of less than one year whereas futures markets transactions involve securities with maturities
greater than one year.
Capital market transactions involve only preferred stock or common stock.
If General Electric were to issue new stock this year, it would be considered a secondary market
transaction since the company already has stock outstanding.

5. Both Nasdaq dealers and “specialists” on the NYSE hold inventories of stocks.
Money market transactions do not involve securities denominated in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar.
3. If the stock market is semistrong-form efficient, which of the following statements would be
CORRECT?
The required returns on all stocks are the same, and the required returns on stocks are higher
than the required returns on bonds.
The required returns on stocks equal the required returns on bonds.
A trading strategy in which you buy stocks that have recently fallen in price is likely to provide
you with a return that exceeds the return on the overall stock market.
If you have insider information about a particular stock, you cannot expect to earn an above
average return on this information because it is already incorporated into the current stock price.
Even if a market is semistrong-form efficient, an investor could still earn a better return than the
market return if he or she had inside information.

Share Volume: 44,486,725, Days to cover: 1)) from 262,011,225 (settlement date:6/30/2009,

Intrinsic values of AIG were not higher. Remember, it is still all speculative, no matter what the
experts try to say. The markets took a little dip during that time under monetary constraints also.

AIG did a reverse split on July 1, 2009. For every 20 old shares of AIG you got 1 new share. So
divide the June 30 numbers by 20 to get a proper comparison.
Betty asks…
Where can I find a Comprehensive Pinks/OTC Ticker List?
Standards, etc I can find on the home websites for NYSE, Nasdaq, etc..
But in trying to find a comprehensive list of OTCs all I have managed are short (maybe a few
hundred) lists that are limited by the Interests of the list-provider.
Since they trade through the standard brokerages there has to be a semi-comprehensive
database Somewhere for them to draw from.
Great source, thanks.
Now if they only included the Last Trade value in the downloadable.

Helen asks…
uhm.. So How can I make a Profit from the Collpasing Dollar,
Collpasing Econemy??
so......
They are going to cut interest Rates Tomorrow, from 3%, to maybe 2.5 or even down to 2%
1. When would the best time be to buy a house on lease, like a 30-year mortgage, Should I
wait? When Until When? Wait until it goes to 2%? Under 2%? How low will it go?
2. Because of the rate cut tomorrow, im expecting a rally on the market or flat trading until mid
term elections of 2008. So I am Waiting to buy QID Stock, When is Shorting the Nasdaq 100, or
betting the market will go down.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=qid
Its at $55 a share, I wont buy Over $45 a share, and if i get in under $45, i can 5times my
money on a crash, but what if the econemy does a total collpase, will the money be worthless??
What if it is a few steps from collpasing, can i still cash out? Or will i get nothing, b/c the money
10 / 13
11. is worthless? This I dont know.
I believe they will collpase the dollar to nothing so it can be replaced by the amero in 2-3 years
or so.
Any other ideas?

COLLAPSE, COLLAPSING, ECONOMY. You buy a house and get a mortgage, you RENT a
house and sign a lease.

i mean to get a mortage, so i guess ur right, rent to own
Steve Winston answers:
I think you're asking about leasing, and about stocks. Maybe asking about stocks in another
area of Q&A will get you results. When you say "buy a house on lease" I think you mean "rent to
own". As far as leasing a place you need to be careful as the owner of the home may not be
able to pay the taxes and insurance on that home and somewhere down the road your lease will
be meaningless and you'll be out and stuck. When you rent to own you merely rent/lease it for a
year and then at the end of the year your money will (depending on the agreement and how
much is allocated) go toward the "deposit" on the home. However if you leave then that money
will have been just like rent and you will be left with nothing.
People with money and good credit in a poor economy could buy a foreclosed property
(probably lower in cost) but it's difficult to get insurance in some places and you can't buy a
house without insurance first. You didn't say what your income is, but I can say that if you plan
to buy a $65,000 home then you'd best be earning $65,000 a year and your job must be secure.
The reason the foreclosures happened to people was because they were told they could afford
12 / 13
13. those high priced homes when they couldn't, and, they didn't have the downpayment so that
downpayment was put into the mortgage payment which mortgage ballooned in a year,
sometimes the second year as well (if they made it past the first year). People were tight to
begin with but when they lost their job, second job or their wife lost her job which was needed to
make the payment, then they moved into foreclosure..
