The source is the NY post. Need I say more? Funny when a story like this turns into some kind of legitimate news item.

Congrats on an awesome year. I sent you two PM's a few months ago just fyi (in case you never check PMs).

He said we'd gap down on Monday and we didn't. In fact he said we'd gap down huge. We were gapped up. He was wrong. If you look at that chart you posted of his, this trade has not gone according to his expectations as we had a massive move up today. He was wrong on that. In fact we are...

Welp, it looks like he was wrong. Sure you we can see how the rest of the move plays out but the fact is pretty much opened up flat IRC. That's part of the problem with predicting market moves. You will be wrong. I understand he likes the setup to the short side and his bias is...

You have to declare it, like Michael Scott :p http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuGIgf-ICHM&eurl=http://technorati.com/videos/youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DHuGIgf-ICHM

The real problem from what I see on the P&L thread (which I've been following for awhile now). Most people who are somewhere between B-C aren't doing enough to "get it" - talking about equity, not futures, etc. What I mean by that is they're going to do a few hundred or couple thousand shares...

Very true. If you look at oil and fertilizers they all had some large down days before resuming their uptrend.. but if you look at the shipping sector, they sold off and never resumed... It seems that if they close off their lows that it is bullish.. but the fact that they closed at their lows...

POT easily has that potential but I believe some of the other fertilizers may have an affect on it pre announcement. BIDU is the other.

ISRG will be the most interesting one for me to watch. Growth stock + in the middle of it's business cycle. If they miss it could be bad.

I was going to post this story too since so many people think the sky is falling. Here is a graph that accompanied the article. We're far from a huge decline... yet

OP, I've seen people in your shoes before. You need to gain your confidence back. The above helps and I would also recommend trying to go for a series of "layup" trades... where you gain that consistency and then confidence.

Once again, they are disseminating the indications. Who are you getting your feed through? If there is an imbalance, they'll go 0x0 and display a range of where they'll open. It's the same as it has always been. Again, going back to what you see takes place right after the open - the...

In reality, the specialists have little control over their stocks anymore. None of the specialists are making money, hence why the NYSE started giving them stipulations for providing liquidity. Before the hybrid, a specialist controlled a few stocks. These days it's not uncommon for them...

I have briefing trader. It's decent but expensive. They give market commentary; positions some traders put on; post on conference calls; and earnings info - among other things. Usually I don't have too much time to pay attention to it as I am trading. Regular briefing is ok. You can...

Thanks

I'm interested in finding a good broker where I can park some money as a longer term hedge towards the fall of the US dollar (or use currency options). I doubt I would trade much unless the the music stops for the USD.... at the same time I don't want a refco on my hands. Thanks

I think it is also important to note that for the most part, it is still the same buyers and sellers. Charts are a great tool - especially when you understand what is behind the pressure and you can observe it in the stock movements (like a vwap program). Toss in a lot of psychology and you...

To answer your questions, I believe a lot of NYSE only traders will wash. My observations of it is that it is much more difficult to tell what is going on in general. What was left of tape reading will be dead. Did anyone see the intraday move in BYD the other day? Besides the lack of...

Jim, I appreciate your ability not to send insults back in the way of 2cents. The model for immaturity on this board is that when someone has no rational counterarguement they result to childish name calling when it would be better not to respond at all. I just recommend you put 2cents on...
