1.46% on the Ten year....wow. This has been a tough bottom to call...for the rates. It's like drawing a line in the sand, and then it gets crossed.

No, the big, BIG risk in TBT is some sort of crisis that results in 1000 point drop in the Dow. TBT will most definitely crash in that case. The big question is: despite the above scenario, can the 10 yr TBond go below 1% ? I mean in Europe, some rates are negative !!!

The whole concept of the SUPPLY of advertising venues increasing to the point of causing rate cuts is real....I think. Rate cuts = lower profit growth. The old supply/demand curve....still at work.

Nice strategy. I don't think it's going to soar (TBT), but I think the bottom is in. Put credit spreads are another way to go.

Exactly...there was a stock that behaved just like this back in 2004. It was IPIX. Super-volatile. One day, all rallies started to get sold short. A year later, they were toast....no longer in business.

to promote more sex at the workplace then ? I don't think she could do much more...turning this turkey around looks to be mission impossible. That latest security breach indicates all employees slacking there to-the-max. Good Luck Marissa !

I actually was OK with Maria .... until this interview. No more. Time to go to Bloomberg.

I'm sure many of you saw this debate on CNBC yesterday...it was unbelievable....and quite an indictment of the liberal news media. Maria....deal with facts and reality...will ya ? http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000102873&__source=yahoo|headline|other|video|&par=yahoo This country...

I don't fully understand how that can happen other than IB changing the margin requirements based on volatility or their whim.

Ah, I wasn't aware that he had hit his BP limit and that IB has that order cancellation logic built in. Very slick.

Isn't that a bit risky with a fast-moving underlying ?

You sure you're not just picking the move incorrectly ? I mean the above strat is just disasterous if FB tanks on the announcement.

Exactly. Whatever you do, DON'T sell condors or sell premium of any kind. Another possibility is that FB shoots to 40, taking out the weak short sellers....and THEN IT FADES INTO OBLIVION (high teens). So a calendar spread would be in order....long short term, short long term options.

Chartwise, FB looks to be making a lower high....and it's definitely rolling over now. 33 was the recent high...that's a good stop loss on short positions. FB earnings announcement will be huge, but even larger: guidance for the 3rd quarter. If the guidance is weak, look-out below.

This is so appropriate !!! They're the 1 percenters...of course.

I love this comment and it is so totally appropriate given our revenue starved government right now. Prostitution, Gambling, Drugs and other vices are skipping their tax obligations in a manner similar to the corruption that has occurred in Greece ! USA = the new Greece. The underground...

Oh, you mean like the attorney in our area who was challenged in court and then awarded $260,000 in fees for the defense against a local school district right of privacy case. He did 4 weeks of work for that fee. B.S. I say. Those people above are not productive relative to the rest of the...

No, I totally agree on this....especially if you are considering the algos that work the order book. You must have speed all around for that....as well as Colo. But for the other 90% of the strats out there, I'd be willing to bet that Tradestation or Multicharts can easily accomodate them. Both...

Upcoming US election issues seem to have forgotten that to get an improved unemployment rate, we need: 1) tort reform 2) tax reform 3) shrinking government spending Couple all of that with "Taxagheddon" coming down the pike.... things look grim, no ? All of these things are so deeply...
