The Government has good intentions but if they keep this ban on for any length of time it's going to cause more problems. Numerous studies have been done on bans on short selling in other markets and it has only yielded more volatility and more instability. If the SEC leaves this on for a few...

CME website: "Price Limits corresponding to a 5.0%, 10.0%, 15.0% and 20.0% <b>decline</b> below the Settlement Price of the preceding RTH session." It does not say anything about limit up.

Exactly. They prevent bubbles from happening and provide support on the way back down by covering shorts. If you elimitate them from the market you'll see bubble after bubble after bubble, followed by crash, crash, crash. I can't wait until tomorrow. Just buy the dips. Overbought rallies...

<b>LMAO</b>

Dude, you got no idea what an important role short selling plays. Wait and see what happens if the SEC keeps this on for too long. If you think the 2000 bubble was big just wait. If they keep this on for months we'll be at 15,000 DOW and the correction will be insane. On the way up you'll...

You may be right but couldn't this also cause MORE chop? The market will move freely up to a point where buyers turn away and then it will come crashing down - i.e. if you artificially inflate anything there's only one way for it to go. I think we trend up followed by extremely sharp...

Hell yes it is. The SEC is going to regret this. If they keep this on for anything more than a few days the Dow could be back to 13,000 by the end of the month. The market is going to go straight up and when buyers run out it will come crashing down. I sure hope they allow short selling...

Overall, this is very good advice and carries a lot of weight but averaging into a trade is not necessarily a losing strategy, even in the long run, provided the trader can differentiate between noise and true strength or weakness, and, you have to have the discipline to exit when you know you...

Don, I think it's time for you to sign off this thread and let it die. You've been kind enough to address the question, even when you didn't have to. I've taken a huge position and gotten beaten because of it but you can't focus on that isolated event without considering all the ones that...

Damn, that sucks. Would have been a profitable trade. I was short right there with you, errrr.....I mean w/o you. :D Just messing with you FF

LOL. Good thing you didn't land in the rose bush. :eek:

You guys offering access to the Asian markets yet, or getting close?

Perché lei affigge questo nell'italiano?

Agree. We need a massive gap down and probably need to go limit down on the futures. Could happen tomorrow.

Right, let's not forget the Auto Industry. I believe they are requesting 25B.

So the Gov't has control of the mortgage industry via FNM/FRE, they will soon control the Health Care Industry, and now they will own the Insurance industry. It's getting more like Russia every single day.

I agree there is no reason for a cut but the market wants one. If it doesn't get one don't buy the dips :D

Put this on a cover letter along with your resume and you will get a job. Emphasize what you learned. Go the extra mile and, on a different piece of paper, tell your story. Cover letter, resume, story, hired! Good Luck!

I bought a PC so I could open the box, push the button, and just use the darn thing and it's been nothing but grief. The OS is very unstable. If you open two applications at the same time that use a lot of memory, like your trading platform and Quicken (this is something the machine should be...

LOL. Later Swordsman.
