Head fake? "E*Trade Financial (ETFC Quote) was among the worst decliners in the financial sector Wednesday, while several bank stocks were pressured by a ratings downgrade from Standard & Poor's. E*Trade said it is raising $1.2 billion through the sale of common stock and a "significant"...

I don't think it is the beginning of the end. Seems to me like the news is trying to cause a panic again, seems routine or for need of money. With over 60% of their economy export based, they need money. In addition, it would hurt the Chinese (themselves) more by selling heavily and...

To be honest, what a complete waste. 15% is an estimate and by mid-century it'll probably be very wrong. It might not even take up 10% or even less if you count growth on an exponential scale. To be honest they need to throw $555 billion instead toward nuclear fusion, a real player in...

I completely agree with you. I should have clarified my point, it was from a technical standpoint and not a fundamental standpoint. I also agree with you on your point that msft did overshoot FV, and if I was going to short msft, it would be in the $26 or high $25ish level(s). From a...

MSFT has been showing a lot of strength in this whole sideways/downturn market. Perhaps its going back up toward $26 before we see some sort of break down? -troll

Perhaps your break out/ break down has occured? Currently: $48.54 ish. There is some support near the low 48's. But your right if it breaks that it's going to 46. Just questioning what I should do, if the Dow breaks further then I won't buy at 48. Just my opinion(s). -troll...

"President Barack Obama is expected Wednesday to propose a sweeping reorganization of financial-market supervision, including remaking the powers of the Federal Reserve, The Wall Street Journal said in a report on their Web site dated Monday." "give the government the power to unwind and...

"Investors were furiously buying into the online brokerage firm's stock, and volume was more than double the daily average for the company. But despite the rise in share price, discerning the exact cause for the buying spree was a bit of a mystery. "...

I don't think it looks good right now. The market as a whole is stalling out and not making that much progress and there is overhead resistance at 9,000 it has to punch through to go higher. Walmart is falling while the market "rallies" or is up. If we have another downturn it would have...

Not sure if this was the road you were trying to go down, but I'll throw in my thoughts that came into my head randomly. Maybe you could incorporate/use an LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average) into what your trying to do with perhaps a combination of the MSROC (Moving Slope Rate of Change)...

Great pole results, kinda ironic how the poll results simulate the actual movement of the markets recently. Flat lines or almost equal between bears/bulls. Just pointing it out. 2 cents. -troll

Just curious but where are you getting that number from? Or is that a back of the envelope calculation?

Whew. You should be paid for your emblazoned and passionate promotion of IB. I got it all figured out everyone, it was a QT related issue. IB still filled me alright on my limit, it's a good company so far. -troll

It might just be me being a new customer of theirs, still getting a feel for the whole thing (I'm using QuoteTracker API to connect), maybe that has something to do with my fills but anyway.... I keep placing limit orders through QT and they keep getting filled 1 or 2 cents higher than the...

So what now? Springboard Dow 8000 level? Or are you gearing up for a new thread, "Congrats buyers of ......" ? Should be fun anyway, I know I made money on the way up. ;)

Found this for all the old schoolers who were brought up using C and C++ etc. from this company. Thought I'd bring this up, a bit late, but good to know none the less. Borland Software Corporation to be Acquired by Micro Focus International plc "Borland Software Corporation (NASDAQ: BORL)...

I’ve considered prop. trading for a while now, but have yet to do it...the reason(s) why are some of my personal concerns. If I’m wrong, please let me know or correct me. The only firm I feel that addresses these problems/concerns, that I personally don’t have the money to join just...

Yeah I kind of freaked out today too, not because I was losing money, but because I was "losing" the potential to make money. I put in a limit order to sell WMT at $51 at the open, and the thing didn't get executed even though the last price with both bid & ask were $51.10, and hovering at...

Interesting, a lot of people on the street are saying that depending on whether or not we can build up some decent momentum we're just going to skid along the side of the current resistance. My personal take is that we're headed higher. We'll see. BTW, your last chart...I couldn't see...

Another book that looks like it might be added to my list: http://www.amazon.com/Reading-Price-Charts-Bar-Technical/dp/0470443952/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=IDRIVQ9BC8V7I&colid=12Q06OZCCE7WY "Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar: The Technical Analysis of Price Action for the Serious Trader"...
