Hi Everyone, I have a few questions about the differences between using the Fibonacci Retracement and Fibonacci Extenison tool. I understand the definition and usage of the Fibonacci Retracement and the Finbonacci Extension tool--use the retracement to set entry points, and the extension for...

Hi Guys, I'd like to know what everyone's preference is in regards to using stop and limit orders to limit loss on a long stock should it go down. To me, it seems like Limit order would always be the best option regardless, because in a stop order, it would get filled at the current market...

Thanks for the reply. My scenario was a hypothetical one not taking anything else such as TV into account so as to not complicate the problem. So to sum it up, there's 2 ways to profit in this scenario: 1.) Buy put low, sell it high 2.) Buy put low, market value of underlying falls, buy...

845 ex. Another question: Question: If I sell the put, would my profit be a.) strike price - current market value of stock or 2.) selling the put option @ $2? This confused me...

Awesome explanation. When you say that "you can sell a call that you have previously purchased," does this mean that if I were to buy a call, hold, then sell , I would be a "call seller?" What I want to understand is what constitutions a call seller. I'll give 2 scenarios; please tell me...

Late here. Boredom owns me. :D I'll quit derailing the thread, seems like it's going to get political QUICK and I think we should save that for another time :cool:

Imperial Japan is part of the reason for this fishing island dispute (of course economic benefits as well). But i was talking about the bigger picture. These small disputes will turn big just like the op said. Once US intervenes (which of course, they will), then Russia will intervene.... This...

A democratic vs. communism war is imminent and inevitable. Just a matter of time.

Thanks for the reply. I'm constantly hearing about the "big players on the block" and "market makers." For example, in the Elliott Wave, the initial uptrend are the "big players" buying in on the stock. Then goes a small correction. Then the wiser traders jump in on the bandwagon for the 2nd...

Hmm, if you read the example here: http://www.investopedia.com/university/electronictrading/trading3.asp#axzz27BcqWky1 it basically explains what i said in my post. If market makers keep doing this, that is, they keep selling high and buying low, then eventually the stock will keep driving...

How a market maker works Basically, i understand the purpose of having a market maker is to faciliate a trade. For example, if I want to sell 1000 shares of Disney at $100, there won't always be a buyer on the other side willing to buy it at the exact number of shares and the exact price...
