Anyone have any thoughts on the divergence on the the market on Friday? USD sold off, equities was flat/higher, and somehow hard commodities dropped. I would have thought CL would have maintained it's gains given that ES and EC had made intraweek highs.

I apologize if this may have been answered elsewhere. When you say buy/short at open and sell/cover at close, does this intend to mean the Globex open/close or cash open/close? Thanks! Best wishes for 2010!

if you're long the puts thru earnings, drop in IV post earnings would also eat into the premium quite a bit... just thought i'd mention that.

there is no such thing as a guarantee. If you had bought FAS at the close on Monday, which was it's day low, you would have taken a 15-20% heat at the open the very next day. if there was a guarantee profit, you would not be wasting your time here posting about it.

QM is looking frisky again. Stop at 60.475, target at 66.5

Dislike how it runs out of steam after the first day. Got out flat. on re-entry. Flat on QM now.

rebought at 61.225

Took profit on half my position at 62. will rebuy if we get a retracement. into mid 61s
