    Why are republicans doing this?

    Ricter, I hate to spoil your mood tonight, but the US is 100 times more innovative then Europe. Name me the AAPL equivalent in Europe, or Google or even facebook? BTW, how do you like our government relationship with Haliburton?

    Equity-only firms vs equity derivative firms.

    Guys who trade options have a solid math background in stats and probability. Most can do at least "some" programming or be intelligent enough to work with programmers.

    Equity-only firms vs equity derivative firms.

    Your quote is way off. Bright Trading charges .0030 to .0050, that's $3 to $5 per 1k shares. Their whole sale cost is probably .50 per thousand.

    Equity-only firms vs equity derivative firms.

    The 2nd group require a high GPA from a target school. The first group requires a pulse and a check.

    The ACD Method

    You know Bruce Kovner of Caxton Associates use to and maybe still does write critical reviews of live theater in NY. He's been a theater critic for decades. So maybe there is a parallel....:)

    The ACD Method

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-05-15/other-great-rotation-reach-yield-dash-trash Buying the most shorted names on breakouts have always made sense to me. If we get a "blowoff" top, these names can trade into the stratosphere and beyond. TSLA case in point.

    So what will send this rally over the cliff?

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-05-15/other-great-rotation-reach-yield-dash-trash This strategy has always worked even when we are not in a QE meltup. But the charts here are interesting.

    So what will send this rally over the cliff?

    I had high hopes this morning when the equity only ISEE reading was near 236 but then the put buyers came back all afternoon to settle the index around 150 and the overall ISEE back down at 100. Guys, here's the problem. Vol is not getting bid at all. As long as it stays this cheap, when we...

    So what will send this rally over the cliff?

    I agree the FED changes the equation. But the FED ironically enough creates even greater extremes in optimism and pessimism. The FED is a catalyst for people to act. People still have to act. I agree with many on here that the first domino to go down will be Japan. The Nikkei is now up...

    So what will send this rally over the cliff?

    No, HFT makes up less then 1%. The hedge fund industry alone has north of 10 trillion. Mutual funds have about 4 to 5 trillion. I think RIA assets are close to 3 trillion. Family offices probably close to 5 trillion. And guess what. If you look at mutual fund data and hedge fund data you...

    So what will send this rally over the cliff?

    No, people don't think like that. ET thinks like that. The avg Joe on the street comes home from work at night and looks at his stock holdings. The more they go up, the more conditioned they become to "expecting" them to go up. Human beings are not mean reversion thinkers. Our minds get...

    Why are republicans doing this?

    I don't know how I can make this any more clear to you. I do NOT support the government SUBSIDIZING technology. Especially if, as you claim, that technology will be a game changer in which it will need NO HELP. Once you get into the subsidizing game, you bring in the cronies. And with the...

    So what will send this rally over the cliff?

    9/28/11 ISEE reading of 53 (this is total ISEE). Within a week we put in "the" swing low after the major 30% correction after the debt downgrade. Never saw those lows again. 3/26/12 ISEE reading of 182. The very next day would mark the swing high before the spoos dropped 150 handles over...

    Why are republicans doing this?

    Calling me names really doesn't bother me. I use to spend a lot of time down here. Comes with the turf. No you are not engaging in analytical thinking. You start a thread asking "why are republicans doing this". As in, why would republicans object to a gov't sponsored car? Are you...
