That 400 point rally didn't teach anything really. Except what can happen when everyone books profits at once. None of that was buying, that was buying to cover. 400 points on over a 1400 point drop since december, and somewhere around a 2000 point drop since oct/nov? a 400 point bounce...

Bearer bonds, always.

lol, CNBC makes me laugh some times...the second we get a dead cat bounce they are like "OHHHHH LOOKS LIKE THE BULLS ARE IN CONTROL TODAY!!!!!" I would have no problem getting short today.

You could have bought a put "at the money" or a couple strikes "out of the money." You could buy them in the money but it gets pricey. The further out of the money the cheaper. Time decay (where the value of the option depreciates) is the worst the last 30 days before it expires. So look at the...

They also did them as second homes, which in terms of risk to an U/W is generally the same as owner occ.

Who cares? Do you not know how to make money in a bear market?

Minneapolis and the pit. Sounds like you know (or are related to) the right people which is the important thing...why even go to college? Just kidding, stay in school!:cool:

The goal in trading is profitability, anyone who has issues with how someone gets there clearly has deep rooted pride/ego issues and needs to feel they are "right" or better than someone.

Ive been buying puts for the last couple days everytime it hits new highs, really just speculation but Im betting on a nice pullback. Its had a nice run and CNBC is pushing retail investors to get in now. When retail starts getting in usually the big money starts dumping IMO.

Very good spreads on these, a lot easier to trade.

Real estate is a great choice right now-- if you like buying high, selling low and losing money.

If you are daytrading, it sounds like you are "running with the heard." You might be waiting too long for a confirmation. For example, a stock may have turned around and be heading up, but by the time you think its safe to get in, you really should be shorting the pullback. When you buy it, and...

I say take a calculated risk and go for it. As long as you can support yourself with savings and you don't burn bridges at your current job you can leave yourself some options if you fail. Set up a plan that will tell you how long you can support yourself, and that will leave you in an OK...

It doesnt sound like a fill was due. They go back and check T&S with any issues like that. They would give it to you if it was due from my experience.

Yeah, it started getting creepy when they all had to close their eyes and "visualize" the trading day from the time they got up to brush their teeth until the close?? Sounds like some new age BS. I thought it was a prop firm not a Yoga class.

Its really good stuff. They should probably be charging for it.

Why dont you just give them a call and tell them you want to check it out? They already have your info it sounds like. Show a little persistence. Good luck.

Stocks, buying and selling intraday. Average is probably 10-50 trader per day. Short and long. Leveraged, scalping and swing trading.

Anyone who says you cant make $100-$200 a day trading is projecting their own poor trading ability. I see traders making at least that if not 2-6x that 4 out of 5 days a week. Nice trading keep it up.

When I first started trading options (like my 3rd or 4th option trade) I bought some calls on AMAT right before market close the day before earnings. Bought them at about $.45 per contract. Earnings were fine but they lowered guidance so the stock took a nose dive in the after hours and...
