    VIX @ 40.....VXN breaks 50 today

    Anyone tracking this recent leg down technically speaking?? With an options expiration week coming up, this should really be interesting. At some point, a significant bounce on coverings is strongly possible. I know like clock work last year when we were at these volatility levels...

    Blue Horse Shoe loves FTGX

    Good point...if you want, I will kill the thread.....I am not trying to peddle anything, I am just getting tired of missing big moves. Since it made it to the top 3 Nasdaq most actives behind CSCO...thought it might be worth mentioning.....

    Blue Horse Shoe loves FTGX

    I need career advice. Degree in Computer Enginerring?

    I can amplify on this topic with certainty. Pharmacy indeed is the best way to go, if your talking about a sciences based pursuit. A good computer science program from a top tier player is going to take at least 4 years. There are a ton of pharmacy schools out there, even at the institutional...

    100,000 shares at a time ?

    exce26 or anyone with feedback..please drop it here or PM me. In 1999, when we had much wider spreads, I would basically move in and out with 100-200 share positions skimming a couple or few pennies in this process. It was pretty much a no brainer. Just a fast internet connection and trading...

    QQQ Leaps Put Spread

    Absolutely insane. I like the one guy on the PAC who got his whopping 1 contract in b4 the close. I missed what you guys were saying about the 55 puts. Was this spread legged in or what are the logistics here???? Is he selling the 45's & covering with the 55's......If he is selling, he got much...

    Trajan's options journal

    Ok..so now that we have a few individuals on this thread of intellectual value let me give us all a quick reminder, as this year has nearly duplicated the trend of last year. (Market tanks in early fall.....market rallies huge in late Oct/Nov & stalls late Dec etc.) As far as I am concerned...

    Why Did You Trade Csco?

    1. CSCO is one of the most "efficient" stocks you can trade if your going to be on the 4 letter ticker symbol parade. 2. Moves in such a direct correlation to the overall bigger picture of the day -- i.e. Nasdaq index, futures, etc. 3. Tightest spreads around on both the underlying stock...

    Dual Head Video Cards - Help

    Do not forget about Nividia or the new Asylum series. There are some sick dual monitor cards available. I know that if you customize some of the new Area-51 stuff they all have the ability and choice of these new cards. You might want to check out the Alienware website for more details.

    Trajan's options journal

    hey Trajan....would appreciate yours and anyone else who cares to provide candid feedback. Since you have risk in the near term and Collen's announcement coming up, etc. What if you legged into a spread by longing a March 12.50 call and shorting a Feb 12.50 call for a debit of .35ish or so...

    Trajan's options journal

    A bunch of 12.50 Feb puts are now added to the mix.....This is unreal. Sometimes you get lucky and its not this complicated. For instance, a week ago or so ahead of SEBL earings....In the last hour of trading...huge blocks of 10 strike calls were going through on the ask....Nada on the put...

    Yes...those are legitimate buys/covers... This is even more interesting....one single block of 9500 contracts for Feb 10 puts just went through on THE BID...this means a sell. So would be a bullish sign...... 11:13:33 9500 0.05 - PHIL

    BTW....if you look at a chart on CSCO....this $13ish level is critical...if it can hold here and get a couple of white sticks....this has the formation of a pretty good double bottom.
