You're surely wasting your time trying to fool ET readers with your fake screenshots. Bye.

Having fun playing with your paper money?

And what good were these headlines? Worthless. Markets do whatever they do, headlines mean nothing.

Me a perma bear? LOL You're crazy.

Can you explain to me how your post refers to mine? Did you read my post at all? It's like you don't read anything just blindly tell random people your opinion, totally out of context.

There is just no chance whatsoever that the market does something that you can't rationalize is there? For your sake you should pray the market hands you a big painful lesson as soon as possible that humbles you rather than encouraging more hubris.

Why would he need stops and technicals when his strategy is just to keep averaging down... "short and pray" :p

500k of papertrading Monopoly money doesn't count.

hmm the $VIX for the first time in 12 months dropped below it's 200 moving average after bouncing off violently of it three times since October. JPY and CHF look like they put in intermediate term tops, both down >1.5% today. I guess the technical setup is pretty good for a successful...

Who cares about the calls of a papertrader that doesn't put his money where his mouth is?

Probably having her intermenstrual now. I remember her and Bove from Punk/Ziegel battled it out just three weeks ago when Bove said it's time to buy the banks and Meredith insisted banks were still 50% overvalued. I guess we will know the final outcome in a few months.

Aaron, I am shocked and appalled. Can we officially label you 'papertrader' now? :(

Up +6.5% premarket. Not too shabby.

Congrats! Too few on ET put their money where their mouth is.

I think that's a pretty good base strategy. Add these two simple rules and you can avoid most of the pain a) sell (and don' t buy) if CLOSE(0) < SMA(200) b) sell (and don' t buy) if SMA(50) < SMA(200) Doesn't mean you won't have losing trades, but you will usually avoid the big big losers...

Please post a screenshot detailing that trade. Congrats if you indeed made it.

Citigroup, the nation's largest bank, said on Friday that it lost $5.1 billion or $1.02 a share a share in the first quarter, driven by $6 billion of pre-tax write-downs and credit costs on sub-prime related direct exposures. The firm also announced write-downs of $3.1 billion on funded and...

Great news for all those that shorted truckloads of 500 calls for some "risk free profits" right before expiration :cool:

One way to play earnings with options is to sell as many contracts (at different strikes) as one buys and thus limit ones maximum loss. I don't understand people entering a leveraged directional naked option bet with a small but reasonable chance to wipe out their entire account. They're...

Seemingly high premium via high implied volatility before earnings announcements can cut both ways. Those people that got burnt should learn their lesson there is no "risk free" high premium to bed collected anywhere.
