1/2 position = half a lot? 50 shares? :D

Meredith Whitney, Oppenheimer: - "The average bank, which was worth $100 last year and is now trading at $65, is really worth just $32.50." - "There’s a ‘hooray’ from the stands, but investors don’t realize the bench has been weakened,” she said. “There’s no end in sight in terms...

Not sure if you noticed, but catalysts only exist in your mind that is trying to rationalize market moves and find logical reasons for daily market swings. Markets don't need logic, all it takes is more buyers than sellers or vice versa.

I have no doubt whatsoever how you will be all over the next -100 day claiming on how you shorted the top tick of the rally.

Anyone got any screenshots of the Futuretrade platform?

Good point. I was getting kind of irritated we saw no advice on how to "SHORT THIS RALLY!!!!!!" and how the "DOW SHOULD BE TRADING AT 11500". Where's S2007S???

Not sure what you're looking at, Globex JPY futures are down 2.2% on my screen. A pretty decent move for a currency. CHF down 1.9%.

10y is down big, JPY down big. Exactly like you'd expect.

Listen to yourself. Trying to rationalize news and market moves? Market 'always' goes back down? No way you can fail can you. It sounds like you will get their head handed by Mr. Market sooner or later. If not now, then another time around. Good luck.

I'd just keep adding 10 ES contracts short on every up tick. You're going to make a fortune. LMAO.

So true, yet so few are able to grasp this simple concept.

No, I am looking at commodity prices now compared to where they were during the January Fed 75 bps - aka "THEY'RE NUTS" - rate cut. The commodity bulls on ET were preaching how we should all go long commodities as they're the only "protection against rampant inflation" as the Fed turned on the...

Just checking with the inflation bulls. How's that "commodity hedge" working out? Protecting you all well against the "rampant inflation" as the "Fed is printing money 24/7"?. Good luck all: CL May -1.5% GC June -2.7% SI May -3.4% ZS May -6.0% SB May -2.0% ZW May -2.0% Oh the...

I have no idea if it's a good buy, just saying the bond market isn't acting as if LEH or any other major bank/broker is on the brink of blowing up.

I am shocked. According to the inflation bulls on ET oil should be at $150 at this point considering the Federal Reserve is "printing money 24/7".

Ted spread @ 1.23 today, down another 13 basis points. If there was an impending blow up the spread should be widening, not getting narrower.

Did Worldcom and Enron also fall "too much"? Did you also go long those stocks at $2 cause they were "cheap"?

Buy and pray. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. You will learn your lesson.

Rogers always said if prices come down significantly in China he'd buy more because 'its not a bubble'. Looks like he can buy more of China and his beloved Ag futures soon. Other emerging markets that pulled back a lot are Vietnam and Cyprus. Down 40-50% from their 2007 peaks.
