If anyone is interested, here are the FACTS. The real NUMBERS you are paying state to state. Enough of this "I know a guy" narrative. Here is how "affordable" the Affordable Care Act really is.

I think you are missing the point or possibly choosing to ignore it. Yes, some people's policies on the exchange ARE cheap because they are being SUBSIDIZED by other tax paying citizens. If you want my money that badly why don't you just ask me nicely instead of robbing me blind?

I never understand the idea of people talking about the market as if there are two choices, long or short. Not referring to you of course. Just in general. I'll buy stocks up here, I'll also short the index against it. I try to stay pretty market neutral. There are a million ways to trade...

Right, I agree with you. As long as there is risk, there is opportunity.

You're putting words in my mouth. I never said HFT killed trading. I said what "we" did does not work anymore. And what we did had nothing to do with sentiment or support and resistance levels. Nor did we care about "real" orders. I personally think trading is better now then it's ever...

Well it took the specialist out of the game and that is what we traded off of.

I'm sure I've gone over this before but I'll mention it again. I deeply value the thorough analysis that goes into number line calculation as I believe that is what sets this approach apart from any other forms of analysis. Yes, it's a lot of work but I feel it's definitely worth it. As some...

It depends. In the case of something like X where it had not had a 30 day confirm in ages, then no, I want in that immediately. If it's some hot tech stock that has been strong for a while and is simply generating another buy signal then that is different. However, in the case of X as I've...

Debt deal or no debt deal, we are entering the end of year performance chasing cycle where managers are going to be chasing beta till year end to make up for under performance. Now I would NOT enter trades based on that, simply stating what the head winds are for the shorts. Something I WOULD...

Here is a chart of X since the recco date on 8/29.

Sugar hit a wall right at the QTR A up today. X just won't stop. Up another 5% today. Blew through the QTR A up. We may hit my EOY target very shortly here. This baby is very heavily shorted.

The best advice I can give you, patience and time. Patience and time. The markets were here before you were born and they will be around after you die and all the time in between. Just wait till January.

That's not how game theory works. Study the "prisoners dilemma". A very simple but constructive introduction to how the process begins to work.

To understand the market one needs to have basic understanding of game theory. There are some outstanding books on it if you never took the class in college. But it explains why the market does what it does.

Oh dear God. I pray for the shorts. We are going to confirm tomorrow on the 30 day for the spoos. If you know anyone shots in the market, please, send them your best wishes. They are going to need your support. They re-set for me 4 months ago. So this signal is fresh. Nasdaq and...

You gave a great answer and I appreciate that. I wasn't trying to berate anyone, just something I was curious about. I have my opinions on this of course but I wanted to hear other people's thoughts about it. Only because you see so many of these type of threads. I respect the fact that some...

Good call on the Sugar. Still going. Almost at the QTR A up. BTW, let me tell you WHY this is a good call since the "why" is critical to one becoming a better trader. There is NOT a single damn post on this entire message board about Sugar. You have this trade all to yourself. This is...

X confirmed a monthly A up today and is heading towards the QTR A up at 23.06. That's the last stop before my EOY target.

OK, so this is a sincere and genuine question. Do you actually trade this way? I mean do you come up with theories and say, I think this is going to happen so I'm going to get short or are you just making conversation. I wish all ET'ers when they start these type of threads would say if they...

One word, write it down....physicals.
