This is a stupid statement, you flip the chart but don't flip the sentiment of the market? Since you flipped the chart your statement should say "Looks to me that there is downside. Since it's a bear market, I might short it." This place is filled with losers!!

not at all, go ahead and short it and see how it goes.

a 15 second google search found me the article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/samanthasharf/2013/11/12/starbucks-ordered-to-pay-kraft-2-8-billion/ 2.8B paid to mdlz which skews their earnings in 2013 greatly. next time spend 15 seconds on google before you come to elite trader asking if...

man you gotta do more research then just look at a pe/eps brother. these kind of posts are really worrisome. DO NOT TRADE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. SBUX took a roughly ~2-3B charge this year related to a settlement. This is off the top of my head I just remember reading...

I don't think you understood the point of my post. I was not talking about the structure of leveraged etf's which is fairly obvious. Instead I was referring to the fact that if you can pick the perfect top and pick the perfect bottom, like the OP suggests, and on top of that use leveraged...

there's nothing confusing about it. it is that simple..if you think you can pick the exact top and the exact bottom of a market cycle you will be making 2000%+ on 3x leveraged etf's no problems. no one here will argue against that.

I'm a little cloudy on how the tax is treated. Here's a couple examples: If you sell a put and hold it for over a year and it expires worthless, the premium is considered long-term gain, right? If you sell a put and hold it for over a year but you buy to close it early instead of letting...

stop living life in fear. even if this were remotely true we're talking about 20-30k auto loans, not 200k-1M home loans. I can see the head lines now...2014 car loan crisis that shook the world. *sarcasm off*

Final 2013 numbers are in and I managed a small win over S&P: I had 35.35% return vs S&P 32.39 Over all I guess I am happy with the outperformance as I would anticipate myself doing worse in a straight up bull market. Staying the course so far with 2014 and my goal is the same goal as...

i dont get it, did you just put the trade on with fingers crossed? every other person on this forum ( i think? ) would have checked the spread on the bid ask, and the max profit of putting a trade on, at the least

Account Balance: $77,050 Haven't been posting here because I've been unsure of what I want to do going forward. The puts I sold are obviously all doing quite nicely. Will have end of year %'s in a couple days when my broker updates. It is entirely possible I underperformed the market...

You sound like me and my brother when we were 8 yrs old betting each other infinity times infinity dollars that i was cooler than he was. at any rate im done posting here

I wasn't saying anything bad towards you by the way hope it didn't come off that way. just saying i wish i knew more about what you do is all.

Also you talking about $1MM bets like everyone here has a million to make a bet on some stupid forum. Not even MJ one of the most degenerate gamblers around bets $1MM on golf round. and that dude has tons of money to throw around. So for you to suggest $1MM bet for you to post your clearning...

I've been on these forums for about 2-3 years now. Atticus has even been a complete prick to me in the past and I wanted to strangle the guy multiple times. That said he is the only one that posts anything worth a damn on this forum. Other people like sellindexvol I respect as a trader but he...

what I quoted he said average gross return was 5.5%...what would lead you to believe average gross return = max DD?

SO you aren't looking for outside money, you aren't looking for advice (can't give advice if we don't know anything), you aren't looking for anything other than to see your epeen grow? then you come on here and brag about 5.5% like it's a big deal so can't be epeen growth either...wtf are you...

just want to add one thing to this overly bizarre thread. there is no pre-emptive nut in poker just like there is no pre-emptive nut in trading. in poker you have the nut when you already have it. having suited connectors or a pocket pair pre flop is no where near the nut. just like in...

love this answer, when the real answer is SPY is ex dividend today. FXforex you don't stay on top of news/anything very much do you?

dude, you really shouldnt be trading if you dont know what happened. the front page of any finance website will tell you. fed announced taper and a prolonged low short term interest rate. edit: I'm really hoping you are just trolling us.
