  Dumb question - can you buy stocks in pre-market?  I have never even looked at it, but how does one buy a stock before the market technically opens?  Maybe I'm thinking it is like a supermarket or any other store?

  @Kevin,
 Go to the order page on your brokerage acc't.
 Where you enter the orders, there should be a designation that says something like "pre-market" or "regular trading hours".
 If you can't find it, just call your firm and they'll tell you where it is on the order entry page.

  Oh BTW, -- if it's "afterhours", same thing.  You just click which ever designation/time frame applies to your order.

 Options trading does not apply

  $540 gain on the paper trade.
 Doesn't take much.
 That's called E-Z money!

  At this juncture, the main problem w/ DWTI is, we don't know where the bottom is in oil.
 Seems awfully close to me.
