Michelle Caruso Cabrera has always reminded me of the porn star Alaura Eden. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaura_Eden

this market is very, very weak. this is like watching a naked drunk trying to get up from a greasy floor. everything is getting swatted back down. everything.

wow, nitro. quite the find. thank you. i checked cboe and just couldn't find anything that divulged the method of calculation.

Hi there, anyone know which options (strike prices, puts or calls, strike dates) are used to construct the VIX? The vix futures don't offer great liquidity and I'm wondering if better liquidity could be acheived through the construction of a synthetic vix, eg. buying the stip of options used in...

Maverick: Um, like, nearly every Chinese company. Honestly, I can't really give you specifics because I don't follow individual companies. What I can tell you is that for the overall market, earnings for Chinese companies increased 70-something percent last year, while income-related earnings...

I spend some time in China. I can tell you public opinion of stocks is very similar to the US's during the tech craze. A buddy of mine lost about 30% in a week and then told me he wants to buy more. Now is the time to buy he says. No fear among a lot of people because dip-buying has been...

If you define a bear market as an index losing 20%, then China's Shanghai index has stealthfully begun a bear market. Granted an ATR-based definition of a bear market would be more appropriate for China because its market is that much more volatile than the US's. Nevertheless, it appears that...

thank you much.

Hey there, question for UK traders. A stock that is priced at 850.00 on the LSE is equal to how many brit pounds? - 8.5 - 85 - 850 ? Thank you very much.

The reason I'm asking is because I want to know what happens to limit orders that are sent before the market open if the market gaps down significantly. from what you mention, if the order's limit price is significantly above the opening price, and the liquidity is there, the order will probably...

Thanks much JamesJ. Excellent response.

Hey guys, Limit orders are supposed to be executed at the specified price "or better", but is there really an "or better"? If stock XYZ has a bid/ask of 9.99 and 10.01, and I place a limit at buy 10.20, will I get filled at 10.01 or 10.20? Which is more likely? Also, any idea how limit...

Who cares about reasons? There really is no reason. Chinese stocks performed terribly from 2000 to 2006 when GDP and Chinese company profit growth kicked almost every other country's behind. No idea why the stocks were in an longterm down trend then, no idea why they continue to go parabolic now.

well, looks like that china short was a damn good trade. fxi getting hammered. shanghai off 4%. this is going to get bigger and eventually seep into other markets...watch

this is a cool ass product. it will eat into prospective i pod sales though. hope analysts take that into account.

i think buying bonds is a surer bet than a market sell-off if the number is very weak. that said, the NDX is quite overbought right now, thanks to rotation, and does not have an intermediate term uptrend. anything under 50K might cause equities to stumble.

if your broker has shares available, you can short FXI. you can also short a prxy, EWH.
