I would have thought their first diversion would have been to get a screen name on Elite Trader, and blog away.

I have been trading for 15 years. Tape reading was very valuable when I started trading. Electronic markets and computer trading has changed that. Since I only trade a few stocks, I still monitor time and sales. It is a connection to the stock you are trading. A chart takes up 60 percent...

This is a good time for daytraders. I am not sure what a conservative daytrader is, but I tend to feel more comfortable in markets that are a bit range bound, but not so range bound as to have all the volatility squeezed out. There looks to be an established range, and yet there is some nice...

THE FADE

I bet you are the kind of guy who can't wait to read the obituaries to see if anyone you know croaked, because nothing gives you more joy than going out and pissing on someone's grave in person. But absent of that fun, you will have to settle on pissing screenames in cyberspace who have...

I am sorry that I missed Ted David. He was one of my favorites. He was like comedic relief. When Ted was on they used to interview Silvia Wadhwa from Germany. Evidently in Germany being anorexic and telegenic have nothing to do with getting a job as a female talking head. Ted used to tweak her...

Power lunch is my least favorite CNBC show, I find it hard to watch with the sound off, but if the Yankees are playing a day game as they were today, I don't watch CNBC not even in the PIP.

Sure they are doing so great that I am thinking of reversing the tremendous mistake made by ancestors who fled England a couple of hundred years ago to practice freedoms and take opportunities that they mistakenly thought would never be offered to them if they had stayed. When I get there, I...

The stupidest suits on the face of the earth are United States Senators and network executives. Such a statement is ABSURD. Fox News has worked as hard to be the anti-Obama network as MSNBC worked at being the pro-Obama and anti-Hillary network in the primary. CNBC could only be termed...

The internet is relatively new. You raise a good question, when is enough, enough? I think you made good a call. I left a bulletin board last summer that I had been posting on for ten years and I have no idea how many posts. I took it out of my favorites and I really never have had...

The rallies are a populist movement. The Gubmint as represented by the Bush Administration was as elitist as one could imagine, until Barry's Administration took power that is. Newt Gingrich, the Republicans, and the Contract with America got way too much credit for the 1994 election which...

<cite>Bernanke, in prepared remarks for a speech today in Atlanta, said he is “fundamentally optimistic about our economy.” “Today’s economic conditions are difficult, but the foundations of our economy are strong, and we face no problems that cannot be overcome with insight...

Summers and his famous ego wanted it and most likely expected it. But Barry did not give it to him because of a POLITICALLY INCORRRECT comment about women made by Summers while he was President of Harvard. Barry suck-up and butt boy John Harwood would confirm that as the reason why Summers...

I am no Lawrence Summers fan. But Barry would have been better served by naming him Treasury Secretary. As this article indicates, at least Summers can multi-task while administering a large bureaucracy such as a big time Ivy Leagure University. Tiny Tim Geithner admits to being...

You are probably right. But I am not a free agent celebrity like him without a contract. In trading, timing is everything. So it is in the world of celebrity so-called journalism. Katie Couric's contract was up at exactly the right time. Rattigan's walk year could not have come at a...

I day trade only big cap listed stocks. The last year or so the intraday ranges have been spectacular compared to years back. I used to trade JPM but haven't touched it or any other financial since September when they temporarily banned shorting financials. But some of the intraday trading...

Before Cramer was criticized by Jon Stewart, he was criticized by Fox News. But the lowest moment for CNBC was their response to Fox's criticism of Cramer which was a ridiculous ad campaign "In Cramer We Trust". My response would be "May God Help Those Who Trust Cramer" because anyone...

Gender equality has freed both sexes from their traditional roles. It takes a village to raise a village idiot. It takes a community organizer to bring the world together. Cumba ya, Cumba ya.

<cite>Testosterone-soaked trading desks ain't what they used to be, post-credit-crunch.</cite> My trading desk is OOZING with testoterone. In fact, if Keif Olberman or Chwissy Mathews sat behind my desk for a day it would put some hair on their chest, of course it would not solve their...

I have a simple mentality. You can call me a simpleton if you wish. My fears are NOT irrational. My fears are based on the egocentric fools that populate our one party political system which is disguised as two parties albeit of incompetent and corrupt morons. With these boys and...
