Actually a pretty decent list.

Dude, stay small until you're educated. Also, consider options on the SPY or QQQQ, to get a feel. You WILL lose money, but it will be money well spent, and part of your tuition. Also, instead of buying IV, consider selling it when it's huge. VIX was in the 48 range.

Actually the cost is unknown, the front money is $700B, much of which will returned. The loss in the market today of $1.4T fwiw.

LOL to the comments so far. I think the PPT LET the huge drop happen, because the ETer's were on to them. Had to do something to throw them off the scent.

Yeah that was pretty funny

That'll be good, but won't say much about the styles because Silva's just a FREAK.

TKD is very dangerous in a street fight...to the user. The LAST thing you want to do in a street fight is kick high. It's about as useful as ballet. Really. (I have what's known as bodan in TKD red/black belt). Great exercise though.

What's kind of ironic about the risk to taxpayers of this $700b bailout. We keep hearing about the risk to taxpayers. Here's an example: If the fund spends $700B on these distressed assets yet eventually only only recoups $550B, there is a cost to taxpayers of $150B. So where did the...

ROFLMAO How about giving it to all those US citizens who are not repaying their mortgages? They have demonstrating a remarkable ability to control their finances. Btw, the plan is not giving away money, it's buying troubled assets which have a good chance of being profitable if held to...

This thread is a great example of how buying can be very risky. There's been thousands of pages spent on the dangers of selling. Yet if the OP had risked $10k by selling naked puts (would have been 1 contract), FF would have been down less than $300 vs the actual loss of $10k. It's not...

26 hours? I suggest you upgrade your '386-era computer. Upgrade to Windows 3.1 while you're at it.

Dude. Here's an epiphany: Our existence is based on 'gambling'. It's all ODDS. Much of our conscious brain function involves calculating risk. If you think trading is not gambling think again. So what if it had a binary outcome? Just a different r/r profile compared to the...

To answer the OP's question: Yes

The number is not that large in relation to the US economy. If the plan isn't passed, the US economy will likely get quite a bit smaller.

If I was an American I'd be a Republican, but the GOP behavior today is just ridiculous. GET A CLUE! It's a representative republic not a true democracy. You do what's right, not necessarily what the majority wants. Those 9/10 constituents not in favour of the plan, somehow think that...

Err..you made a bet with a binary outcome. You bet red, it came up black. You're down 10 large. Don't keep your fingers crossed. Move on. Your charts are lyin' to you.

OUCH! Cancel your trip.

Here's my take on selling naked: A man can drown in a pond that has an average depth of 1 foot.

Jag's were CRAP before Ford bought them. Utter junk.

You might benefit from a slightly different mindset. Don't worry about what you paid for something. If it's 105 and you think it's going higher then it doesn't matter that you paid 100 for it the first time. Buy more at 105! If its 90 and you think it's going lower, then sell it at 90...
