Estimated EPS is (.93), or negative 93 cents.

AMR is scheduled to report their quarterly earnings on the 21st of this month. So, I am interested to see what will happen between now and Tuesday.

I bought 450 shares of AMR at $8.08 and I have a limit order to sell at $8.33.

I have been learning more about terminology regarding stocks; for example, P/E ratio and EPS. I have a couple books coming in from Borders bookstore.

How I Got Started

The first thing I had to do was find an online broker that I could conduct my trades through. After a little reasearch I saw Tradeking.com offered $4.95 commission fees and no necessary minimum deposit. After sending them a copy of my S.S. card, drivers license, and a voided check I was ready to make my first deposit. After that I began looking to make my first trade in the stock market.


Here is a table that shows all the trades I have made so far
