I was wrong. Icahn withdrew offer blaming crack spreads. Just sold the vast majority of my position in the after-hours here. Avg price of something like 28.80 ish. I think I still have a profit on the trade because I was buying in the low 29s and selling in the high 29s over and over again. But...

Closed FB after open

If he reaches quarters or semis you can bet the price will more efficiently be priced and these odds will tighten up A LOT. I can take profits at that point

Guess people were overworried about injuries. But he just beat Blake in 2 tie breaks. US Open is his most important tournament, he wouldn't be playing a ATP World Tour 250 event if he wasn't feeling good

Gez, Roddick is priced at 500-1 underdog to win the US Open 2012(betfair). I'm taking these odds. Former winner and finalist, he is certainly not that big of a underdog. He probably won't win but then again no one thought Soderling would beat Nadal on RG. One can always lock profits in a final...

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/aapl-options-complacency-near-2009-record-highs Buy APPL vol?

I should point out that the difference between JCP and FB for my own trading is that I believe JCP has good fundamentals for the long-run, could be a multi bagger whereas with FB, I don't have much confidence what its going to happen with their business. Just trying to play a contrarian bounce...

JCP also looks like it has bottomed. I own Jan 2014 37 calls and I'm buying some of the stock here

I don't know, the last 2 days of last week had the highest volume since the IPO and the day after the IPO. There could be a super bottom like that but I'd suspect some kind of news catalyst would be needed. If the stock is not strong tomorrow I will probably get out though

FB looks like is putting a bottom based on praetorian old 'great new pattern'. I started to scale in here after $20 breakout

And these buyouts seem to be gunned towards stocks exposed by Muddy Waters, the most vocal firm about chinese fraud. I'm not sure how this dynamic will play out, I don't think the chinese has that much money to burn buying crap fraudlent companies but the squeeze potential of muddy picks will go...

If anyone have other stocks on the bankruptcy watch let me know, so far this thread had a few names mentioned before they went bust(And to profit all one had to do was have a good news service and be quick to act after rumors break) FMCN might get acquired, still holding my puts there, market...

ATPG filled for Chap 11. I'm making a whooping $20 there, if there were shares to short on the day of the rumor OR if I didn't make the bad mistake of not checking for the single stock future until it was late, I could have made $2,000 or more for a few hours of wrok Or maybe even just buying...

As far as FB goes I did a long a few months back when the stock was getting pounded and destroyed in the media, but there was a pretty darn obvious uptrend and the stock stopped selling off on bad news. This time it havent happened yet. I'm waiting for a low risk setup like that again. Key to...

Looks like the only stock exchange that support All or None native order is the PSX http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/orderTypeExchanges.php?ot=aon IB simulates for the rest, I'm not sure their simulation is worth anything

Can't this be countered with All or Nothing orders?

Markets are doing lots of nothing. Over the past weeks I switched my short EWH to VGK(Europe ETF), still short EUR, long TLT(Had to cut back during the decline), cut BRKB(Mainly due other things unrelated to the stock, I was generating margin to take a large M&A position on CVI), long Gold...

KCG is now a hard to borrow stock with a 38% annual short fee. Looks like the shorts are sniffing out a decline
