You said long signal below 34, now you changed it to below 32, if it goes even lower, does the long signal price get lower? :confused: Yeah, that's right, with paper trading, stops are unnecessary!

I believe it is true. His calls are made in real time. It is there for everyone to see. The guy really knows how to trade intraday, and has a very good feel for how the market moves.

The thing Jim Rogers doesn't tell you about investing in commodities is the negative carry because most commodities are in contango. To beat that handicap, the spot price has to go up a significant amount every year. Commodities futures were not made for investing.

Homework, LOL. I just went through your last few posts, I don't have time to go through 5000 posts.

So true. I think the Jellies are get rich quick people who don't want to put in the work themselves and are looking for shortcuts or the holy grail. The one thing about trading is that there are many different ways to make money. But for most people, human emotion and psychology get in the...

Hahaha. If you call enough bottoms and tops, you will be right eventually. Its like those forecasters that come out on CNBC, they make all these predictions, and the more, the better. Eventually some of them will turn out to be right and then they proudly tell the public: See, I told you so!

I agree about the long term commodities view, but I think you'll get better entry points in December for a long term investment.

[B] You also said to get long on Monday right before the market got whacked for another 25 points from that level on Tuesday and Wednesday. [B] Yeah, you should get a newsletter. You ignore your bad calls and point out only your good ones. :)

From March to middle of October, you could buy dips and be assured of being bailed out because the dips were brief and market kept going up. Only problem is that stocks have gone up so much and are overvalued. The value investors, insiders, secondary offerings, IPOs, and private equity...

Yes, this is turning into a head and shoulders formation, the one in July failed right after everyone noticed it. Thus, it makes this formation much more likely to succeed, after a failed head and shoulders. Plus, we've got the complacency and the price action to back up the bear case. I...

What? Are you telling me that this is a slow market? VIX is back above 30, we drooled over readings like that back in the mid 2000s. This has turned back into a very good trading environment, 2008 was a fluke, a one in 50 year flood. If you are basing your trading strategies based on what...

Yeah, ES is one tough mother to trade, but if you want to get to the truly elite level, mastery of the ES is a necessity because of the scalability thats available. IMO.

I agree up to last week, but this week volatility has returned and things are starting to get interesting again. Sure, we were spoiled by the insane volatility in 2008 and up to March of 2009, but this is still a much better market to trade than any time between 2004 and July 2007. The days of...

I've got the same view. This correction is going to last till December and then I think we violently shoot back up in January. Right now, the sentiment is still too bullish and we need to get more bears on board before we make another assault higher.
