OK. I get it. Trichet is Paulson's puppy dog and the EU is playing along to prevent a collapse in the U.S. But why the panic selling in commodities? If the U.S. is going to stay afloat, we'll keep buying crap made in Asia; which will keep those commodities flowing. What is going on with...

or there's another method: balance the trade deficit with a tariff. (although that would violate the free trade religion)

I wish we could be "HURT" by protectionism.... you know, the way we were from 1789 until 1970 when we had an average tariff of 40%+.... you know how much it "HURT" us then... we only became the most powerful and prosperous nation in world history. and I really wish we could be "HURT" by...

George Bush just said in a press conference about the G8 that his administration has always been in favor of a strong dollar. Since the dollar has done nothing but fall, does that make him a failure or does it mean he's just lying through his teeth about his policy? It's one or the other.

I like the AUG 57.50 call and the NOV 70.00 call. They are good without war, but if we go to war and shoot 3 or 4 hundred million+ dollar RTN missiles, you might be able to buy a beach house on those calls.

I've been buying calls on MEE all the way down. This has been a great intraday trade lately, but this might be the best opportunity yet... even if the crude numbers are bad in a few minutes, that's no compelling reason to short coal like this. As I sit here I can see two full coal...

WHO is shorting the energy sector this morning? I'm starting to LOVE some of these coal names. Any love out there?

you need some regional banks on this poll; the Fed won't bail out the little guys, more likely they'll help the big guys gobble 'em up like a vacuum cleaner.

The funniest part of this is the idea that Obama is not going to keep buying bombs and tanks, or that he won't attack somebody after the next false flag attack.

On "Fast Money" tonight a so-called expert asked the question: "Are Trichet and Bernanke in communication with each other privately?" The question was asked because a currency expert was supposing that the ECB will raise rates, but will likely be willing to start intervening to buy dollars to...

Did we see capitulation in DE and RTN today? These stocks look to be unfairly beaten up. An Ag play and a defense stock (with Israel promising to shoot RTN missiles at Iran at any moment, and hundreds more million dollar cruise missiles aimed at Tehran on our three carrier groups over...

From the Option Addict (www.optionaddict.net) "My next best attribute is that I am a technician, not a fundamentalist. Yes, I am lazy...so what! I believe that fundamentals are already priced into the market, and have no impact on short term price action. I dare you to get into that argument...

if you want to daytrade options.... why be so complicated? Use an index like SPY. it's liquid, small spreads, greeks are fairly stable (although even this is beginning to over think it). when it's at or near what you think is an intraday high, buy some puts. if it goes past it...

Don't read anybody's "get rich" book. And don't buy the courses or subscribe to picks. And most of all, filter the negativity on these boards out. Create the strategies yourself. Just study the fundamentals of the market and the various derivatives, and ask yourself questions, and work out...

Then buy a put and ride it down. The trend is your friend. You don't have to be psychic to make money, you just have to know what the trend is, what your goals are, and what the risk/reward is for various bullish and bearish strategies. (ie - should I buy the stock, write a put or sell a...

Let's not over-think this yet. If the time premium is higher for calls, this would seem to indicate that speculators on the call side are more aggressive buyers than speculators on the put side. Ok. Now let's over-think it. Is there some big money out there calling a bottom...
