Bond market is right, just a bit early. Bond Bull market must follow equity bull market, to allow for efficient transfer of wealth between generations. Therefore, before, there must be bond bear market. You long bonds still<p>I do not have a position in bonds, but if they reinstitute the 30 yr...

I am bearish. It is not expensive oil that makes me bearish. It is cheap money. Junk bonds are trading without pricing in a reasonable amount of risk. I cannot help but think the bubble may not be housing but the bond market. Keeping rates low is as easy as it was to keep the Nasdaq above 3000...

Ticketwatcher, How tight are your stops? Your posts were extremely helpful. Thanks. I make a lot of trades, and I do not put in stops, but I am out of any trade before it goes 30 cents against me. Placing stops applies science to the exit of a trade. I leave the exit of trade to...

I do not mind leaving profits on the table. If I do not mind, then this means that I have the complete confidence that there are more winning trades to be made than I can possibly make. The mindset of a successful trader and an unsuccessful trader is revealed on this board everyday. Unsuccessful...

I would like to give you some encouragement. As a daytrader in this rather range bound market, I too look to short more than go long. If anyone is going to make a living daytrading, I think they need to have enough capital to trade in 1000 share lots. Where I differ with you is your definition...

He is kinda like Howard Beal.

Bob Pisani was reporting from Emerald City and interviewed the man behind the curtain at the NYSE. Mr. Thain seemed reluctant to put his human face on the NYSE, but attributed the shutdown to a "network storm" which took out the back-up systems as well. He did not exude confidence or...

I like to short, but as a rule I don't touch 3 digits stocks in either direction. It used to be hedge funds would sometimes step up and take a risky position such as shorting GOOG. But my intuition tells me the hedge funds are exposed to risk by pumping money long into the Nasdaq blue chips...

Mayne you're using Ameritrade and getting filled within their own orders but not with direct access. As a matter of fact, I was using Ameritrade. The quotes were froze at 48 something. But all I could see was margin calls out the yazoo, so I put in market orders just hoping to dump my...

I posted earlier that I covered two short positions with market orders which were time stamped at 15:55:08 and 15:57:32 for the orders and executed within 5 seconds. I was wondering if there was anyone who tried to close a long position with a sell order after 15:55 and got it executed?

CNBC is an embarrassment. The network is only profitable because that the relatively few people that watch during market hours have the demographics which are very desirable to advertisers. They were shameless and clueless market cheerleaders before the bubble burst. They worshipped at the...

All market on close will not be honored. What happens if you were using your Day Trading Buying Power. There could be some serious margin call headaches.

I had two rather large leveraged short positions on the NYSE which were both profitable. I got panicky and put in market orders one at 15:55 and the other 15:57. Both were executed in less than 5 seconds within a nickel of when my quotes stopped at 15:48.

For anyone who is using this software and is satisfied with it ,what is the fastest and most stable data feed to hook it up to?

In the beginning before Street.com, when Cramer was a little more full of himself, if that is a possibility or maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, he was unguarded about his humble beginnings hanging around the track and playing the dogs as in greyhounds. Of course, the media, that is the...
