主题：咨询一下河友们，美国股市的交易规矩？ -- 剑心浪客
家园 咨询一下河友们，美国股市的交易规矩？ 本人以前一直让家人操作炒国内A股，近日才在scottrade开户准备炒美股。不知道美国股市的规矩和中国股市是不是一样？买美国股票必须买整数手吗？另外，有没有好的适合新手炒股的文章和网站推荐（我主要是想了解美股交易规则和对应的英文炒股词汇，投资策略之类的网站就不必了）。谢谢
家园 再借地:有人了解这个BOA的DEAL吗? 想开个新户,这个DEAL看上去貌似不错的说~
Here is a $100 bonus offer for opening a Free Checking Account
8过对BOA不太了解,这个DEAL有无须注意的地方?请各位帮忙看看,花谢!
家园 似乎不错, 不过要小心读细节 "Bank of America will report the value of the offer to the IRS on Form 1099."
要报税的.
Not available in Washington or Idaho.
希望你不住在那.
BOA还是不错的, 毕竟ATM多, 取钱还是不错, 我一用就是N年了. 不过如果不是真的有需要开个新户口, 还是不要贪这便宜, 户口一堆也不一定有用. 个人意见, GOOD LUCK.
家园 借地请教margin帐户的保证金问题 买了一些put之后,帐户里还剩几百美金了.由于这几天美股涨,put跌了不少,打算再补一些.于是前几天在网上操作转了几千到股票帐户,但由于银行原因出现失误,没转进去.今天再看,帐户里出现了催缴保证金的提示.
找出scottrade的margin帐户条款看了下,说他们可以在不通知的情况下清算帐户.那么我现在的帐户是不是很危险?随时可能被清算?
另外,因为本来帐户里还有几百美金,买put的钱用的也是我自有的,put即使再跌,也只是损失我自己的钱啊,又没有借他们的,他们为甚么会催缴保证金呢?
对这个问题不太明白,哪位可以帮忙解释一下吗?多谢!
家园 It happened to me before in my TDAmeritrade account. In May, I bought a fund with my own money. Unfortunately that fund dropped a little bit the second day and I saw red big words when I logged in telling me that I lost money in Margin and must put in more money blah..blah. That was the first time I saw that in my TD account after years of trade. But I could not recall using any margin. I thought I might have chosen margin instead of cash by mistake when I had entered my order. I sold my fund immediately to avoid margin call. What a fool I was! In June I bought another fund and the same thing happened. I was quite certain that I used my own money so I called TD. I was told that since my account is a margin account, TD will use margin to cover whatever I bought at the first place, and then after 3 days my own cash will be deducted to cover margin.As long as I have enough money in my cash account, I will not be charged margin interest,etc. I believe this is a new rule after TD and Ameritrade's merge.
家园 多谢你的经验之谈,这个雷炸得可惜了 不过我买完PUT已经过了快半个月了才有那通知的,奇怪~

家园 老广试着来说说 你是说MARGIN CALL吧.
大概是这样, 你买的PUT原价是1000块, 你出500块, 借500块. 如果SCOTTRADE要求你的钱最少占现时价值的40%, 而PUT掉到了600块, 帐面亏了400块. 这件事400块当然算你的, 那你只剩100块在里面. 100/600<40%, 就MARGIN CALL了.
我没试过MARGIN CALL, 也没读过SCOTTRADE的规章, 说错了不要找我!
家园 有一点要注意：短期股票盈利的税率很高。
