Cut off his unit and feed it to him his first night in prison

I live in Southern California. It's a gamble every time you get in your car and get on the freeway. While trading is to a certain extent gambling, I think that analogy is used too much by people that can't own up to their trading decisions. External causes are easier to look to than inward...

Get a low power stun gun and taze yourself every time you do it. Only half kidding

I have no clue myself. Just think of the opportunity cost of his two biggest dog trades. He missed out on some excellent opportunities while he was trying to talk his way out of Valeant and Hebalife.

Advance pattern recognition and a willingness to think outside the box. See what is, instead of what you want and act on it. Possibly the ability to slot away in your subconscious large amounts of seemingly unrelated information and let it sort out the answers you are looking for. Some...

I just love seeing Ackman get bent over. If you're going to take a short position in something, put the trade on , give your reasons and then shut up. Quit trying to influence the outcome by running around to the networks and being a whiny little bitch about it.

I hope the Military in Turkey gets the upper hand. When the military is in control there, they have been a stabilizing force and very secular. They would be a very good buffer against the ME. The current leader has been playing a dangerous game by cozying up with the terrorists. Looks like...

Oh, it will. The question is when. Probably about the time either of the loser candidates gets elected. The NQ is in bitch mode right now. Gap up overnight, wedge during the session. It's just daring people to get short so it can squeeze them out.

Just like the run up after the Feb lows. If you didn't get in on 6/27 or 7/6, they are going to make it hard to participate. The people stubbornly shorting the indexes will keep it squeezing up.

Answer to the ultimate question?

Just goes to show you how extreme partisanship on either side is poisoning this country. When everything is presented in a binary "I'm right, you are wrong" you get the worst possible outcomes.

All your short buy stops are belong to us!

Very true. But knowing that, just do your best to figure out where they are going to give people the shaft and trade their game. Too any people are saying it has to go down, they want it to go down...etc. I am pretty sure the real top will be pretty evident to people that know what to look for.

You nailed that. Wonder how many people puked out their opening short on on the NQ today?

I feel your pain. Maybe look at the TF. Similar overall moves and value, but usually a little more behaved.

Curious, how do you think they are hunting CTA's? There are many different strats a CTA may be running. Unless they are scalping, which I would think is a waste of time as a CTA, they should be looking for larger swings.

Could not read the whole article, but should it not be caveat emptor? If you are not educated on the instrument, you should not trade it. Period, full stop!

They are probably taking advantage of sector rotations with a portion of the assets as well. Say they are 70% long overall the benchmark and using 30% of assets to take advantage of rotations in Finance, Biotech, Mining etc. If they are right on the rotations 60% of the time they would come...

If retail keeps moving their stops up like I think they are...this market will get there by the close.

Long or wrong until further notice
