Somebody was really eager to sell, so he sold a lot at increasingly lower prices. Seconds later, people came in and bought. Price stayed about the same. sensationalist nothing.

interesting of you to reawaken a 2 month old thread to use more penis analogies. I looked at my trades so far on DRYS, and as we stand now i've lost $32.13 on it. I'm still short $6 Jan puts, and I expect to hold them and will probably roll them out further. Also, I leveraged up in early...

you won't find a whole lot of republican or libertarian retarted adults or people whose parents made them drop out of high school to work when they were 15. If your political theory involves neglecting the poor and less fortunate, then you're a little too right wing to have attract any...

to answer the fundamental question from the OP, let's say there's a company with 100 total shares in the market. This company pays $100 in dividends a year, $1 to each share. Suzy short thinks the company will lose value so she borrows 10 shares from another holder and sells them to a new...

this is where I stray from the republican ideas into libertarian ideas... why does the government have power to print and dole out so much money? And why is it going to people who don't need it? I think it's perfectly acceptable, and responsible- to take a look at the assets that these...

...I filled an order today to sell to close at $.75.

People said similar things in 2006 and 2007- berating people who invested in bonds and CD's telling them they were foolish for not reaping double digit returns. No one knows how NFLX will price in a year, but most will admit that it could move significantly. I'm still not touching this one...

60% of the time, it works every time.

Apple makes less than half of the earnings, and less than half of the revenue as Microsoft. Yet it's worth more than MSFT? I don't get it.

i'm afraid that as buffett and gates push for such action, we will end up doing things that continue to fuel overpopulation, and with scarce resources, this may lead to some dire situations- perhaps even nuclear war. People are living longer across the entire globe than they used to, and are...

I think we may see added stimulus- but there's no way to know until the announcement...

it's just very weird that there was a 10 cent spread just 3 days ago, and now it's $1.00. I guess I'm holding to maturity on this one- everybody go buy some burgers and milkshakes so they move up 4th quarter guidance :-D

I bought a SONC Oct 7.50 call the other day, and the spread was .55 / .65. Now the spread is .20 / 1.20?? Is anybody seeing this in other stocks?

at 60, 100, 110, and 130, and now 145- the stock looked way overvalued. I wonder if I'll be saying it's overvalued when it gets to 200? My goal is to go long at 120, but I don't think that'll happen. Maybe I'll short at 160. This thing is nuts.

you might be surprised to find that with all your tinkering, your strategy's results will be very similar to a staight buy and hold position. Depending on the commissions you'd be paying, it may be better to just hold long. Maybe I'm old school, but I don't like to make moves too often, but...

I'm just sitting here feeling like an idiot for buying at 100 and selling for 112 a week later- I'm hoping to buy for under 110... *crosses fingers*

I did extensive research into methods to maximize return on a roulette table, which is very similar to any application of coin-flip techniques, because there will always be extra transactional costs, like how in roulette there is the house edge. Through all of my techniques that I programmed...

I thought SS contributions were about 3% from the employer and 3% from the employer?
