Stock is extended here. But this stock will certainly be part of my radar screen.

Let me put this way. I wish I had your age and all of the wisdom that I have acquired through the years. Life is too short kid. Enjoy your youth while you can. :D

just wondering as to when this crash will resume :D

Is crash still coming?:D

Any individual that wishes to succeed in this line of business should print out Big Money's post and read it 1000 times until it gets hammered to your brain. This is not a business about being right or wrong, hitting homeruns and making predictions. It all comes down to discipline and risk...

Of course it can...didn't the Flash Crash teach us all a lesson? :D

I believe that one needs to gather all the facts before making such an uneducated comment. If you read Cold War history and the historical relationship between the ISI and the CIA, you would view this "amicable" relationship with different eyes.

Spread combinations, pair trades, and volatility plays. There is no need to guess market direction.

Given the indecision, why trade directionally when you can place positions independent of market direction?
