Anybody hoping for an improvement of their own personal financial situation by pointing fingers at the Fed or the government is delusional. You've all got trading accounts. If you're all so much smarter than Bernanke then why not beat him at his own game. Speculate against him.

Wow, what a hottie. But I think with the London crew you'd only get a collective yawn with her :p

Here are the guys manipulating the DAX, caught partying in a "warm" London club. On the left Sir Richard Brumblebee, head of equity trading at Barclays, on the right Barton Bustanut, prop desk manager at Citibank London

Troubled economies? Care to explain?

Would be the worst thing. If you want the market to turn you should pray for gap downs that then get turned into a short squeeze. These retail trader gap ups after big down weeks will be sold down by the bears with ease.

Austin you make great points, two things though a) 1 ES contract per 5k margin translates into a leverage of around 13-14x versus the value of the underlying. Usually equity (day)traders wouldn't leverage up to these amounts so it's kind of comparing apples to oranges. Just as an example, my...

You won't find this out with this poll. You're asking for absolute dollar gains.. worthless information without knowing account size and risk taken (drawdowns, std. dev. of returns) by the traders.

6am/7am EST (New York) is often an interesting time in the DAX. Often you see trend reversals with the US crew coming online :cool:

Going for 100% a month you're also risking to blow up any month. For the sake of your trading account I hope you have a strict risk management discipline and use lots of future puts/calls to hedge your ES bets when you run to the bathroom.

I'm in! Let's kill the shorts!

My vote goes to all the whiners bitching about how the Fed is blind or corrupt, the markets are rigged, how the dollar is imploding or how gasoline is getting too expensive. Wall Street is open every business day so we all can place the proper trades to cover our asses. Don't like the...

Great, thanks! :)

Congrats on the $$$. Just don't be a pig, profits on these momentum shorts can evaporate just as quickly as they materialized.

Looks like too many were waiting for another squirt up into the closing bell. Real disappointing close for the bulls, especially NQ futures look like puke.

01:27 Equities "can decline 50 or 60 percent." He's wrong. They can decline 100%. What a freak this Tice guy.

I'm with you, when a relief rally comes e.g. in Q4 or Q1 it could easily get us to new highs if financials manage to rebound big. What I see now is that we clearly lost leadership in tech and oil/commodities. What was good is getting whacked, and what was bad is staying bad. Until that changes...

Which was (more than) offset by long positions they had on.

Are all those people that bought puts in October to protect their profits still idiots? You still mocking them?
