    What is the worst one day loss you ever had?

    Not about dollar value loss--it was about how funny and stupid this story is.. Back in 2005 or so...When Siri went all the up to 9 bucks then one day it tanked on the opening on huge volume...Keep in mind i mostly traded siri at the time because it had great volume...so someone in the office...

    NoDoji...

    Swift Trade in Reuters News

    RE: layering posting higher bids at 10:20 10.30 to get filled at 10:10 ? how would that work...if you get filled at 10.00 and the bid ask is 10- 10.10 and you post big size in an alternate exchange to bid at 10.20 or 10.30...you will get filled on your bids almost for sure. You are trying...

    Trader P/L 2013

    Hey Chuck Noblet, Overtrading is a huge problem. Maybe try giving yourself only 3 trades per day. That will force you to take only the best set ups...do it for 1 month i bet your P&L will go up huge...with less stress too lol

    RM's occasional market calls...

    ya i was being sarcastic about actually putting on a trade for that news.. random idiots are completely irrelevant to the markets. wonder what will happen to gold and the market if the fed does taper bond buying? Is it already priced into Gold? will the S&P finally have a 10% pullback?

    RM's occasional market calls...

    that is a good call....probably right too... now hot to play it? buy S&P? maybe it will rally after the reduced threat of a conspiracy of multiple shooters? are there options for that? LOL

    RM's occasional market calls...

    Just an FYI as I just looked at your Link RM The 20.26 Million short interest is as of August 15th 2013. That leaves 8 trading days since that this may have been considerably reduced.

    true...it does still look strong....might even do something irrational and make a new high and then tank...seen that many times before....we will see in the coming weeks. It wouldnt be shocking if it went to $200...but the higher it goes the harder it will fall. Does anyone know the current...

    US 161K to invest, suggestions please.

    wait for a stock market correction, then buy some good solid companies with a good dividend and consistent in their ability to increase the dividend.. I am waiting for Canadian bank stocks to have a major pull back then will buy for the long term.
