So is it safe to say most of you are bullish on Gold as we close out the trading year?? The GOX appears to be real close to the 52 week high & had a very strong near 3% move today in abbreviated trading.

Most def. Close @ 1PM AH trading til 2PM

Just figure out a weighted ratio for each member based on their contribution total in terms of how much of a % it is for the total pot, which in your scenario was $187K So Family member # 3 would have the biggest ratio/share which would be something like 53.5%, followed by member # 1 roughly...

Most def. Just checking the options volume for the heck of it. I hear you though. One of the main reasons why I missed this last huge run is because back in late August/early September, there was absolute insane put buying going on for like 6 or 8 straight trading days on the the NDX and...

That is one thing that always annoyed me about options books and the like. Everything sounds great in theory and on paper. But the reality is something different. Lets take the DOTM number you bring up. you think this magical number of GOOG not hitting $600 by the expiration of Dec. Thats...

Well -- someone just layed out a little more than $100K for 3000 Dec $35 QCOM put contracts. It was on the ask for .35, so clearly this is a new buy to open long position. Either a hedge or pure speculation of this stock price going lower very soon. There is some action on the $40 calls, but...

The all time QCOM bubble high was achieved on the very 1st trading day of 2000. It made another huge gap opening/new high. I wanna say $800ish. But was quickly faded. Dont forget, in the last 6 years or so, QCOM had two stock splits. A 4-1 and a 2-1

http://www.tradersnation.com/zanger.shtml This discussion is giving me some deja uv & reminded me of some of the most ridiculous things I personally witnessed during the 1999 gold rush. Naturally of course I didnt buy the shares, just was a spectator. ICGE ((remember that one??)) announced...

I completely concur. Nothing like the feeling of overpaying for something or worse getting ripped. Heck I dont need to buy a PS3 to feel like that. If I wanted that kind of feeling, all I would have to do is pay $85 for AAPL now when less than 4 months ago, I had a bunch at $54.75 but got...

RFOL - i didnt mean to get off topic, but man, the law of supply and demand never ceases to amaze me & its relevant for other scenarios, not just an IPO debut. See what happens when people trip over themselves trying to get something?? If you do a "phone book" ended auction search, you will...

By the time you quantify the volatility, momentum, and time factors for GOOG, a long term put option is very expensive. Even if you go 20 points out of the money, by the time you pay a $10-$15 premium for your contracts, you would need the wheels to come off by Jan or be out of luck. The best...

One of my buddies, who trades full time is getting both consoles actually. I dont know how he can fit it all in for one day. A Blueray gaming experience does sound very appealing though.

LOL -- nice There is your answer Max.

I am not hating on anyone here. But now that this day has finally passed. All the hype and hoopla for what? if you are lucky, a 7-10 point pop?? so much for making 50% in a day I guess. The real action this morning was at your local Best Buy. The store out here in our super walmart/target...

LOL - nice, i thought there might be a little gas left with the ridiculous amount of calls purchased yesterday. I think between the $20 & $22.50 strikes, there was something in the neighborhood of 80000+ contracts purchased and keep in mind, a good chunk of that move was missed by most, so the...

Anyone wanna bet a penny RMBS breaks $25 on expiration Friday??

I took a few calls for a little ride between the $20-$20.75 points of the run. Didnt exactly get them cheap, so I didnt want to hold them more than a couple hours. RMBS is always on my watch list. When I saw it closing in on $20 late this AM, coupled with absolutely enormous call buying - we...

Too bad you didnt catch my thread on the RMBS Nov $20 calls - You still could have gotten in than late morning and caught 40% of the underlying run as it crushed $20 and ended up deep in the money. I spotted the calls around .45 on huge insane volume. They closed the day around 1.80 RMBS is...

I know a swing trader who has done very well over the last 7 years or so. Real simple rule. When VIX touches/breaks 20, go long equities & when the VIX touches/flirts with 10, go short equities. Still think December is setting up for a good run to be a breakout month and we could see the VIX...
