After you get burned on something like that, you tend to back off for a while. Not interested right now, just stated we'll see come Monday how pinned it was if at all.

It's possible I'm over-reacting, but I find it suspicious that it could trade all day long in that range from open to close on earnings day and on a day they missed earnings. I think this will be verified come Monday with a sharp correction in the stock after it's "unpinned". I think some...

Incase you guys are wondering what it looked like, it was a really large block backed by smaller blocks. I've rounded the numbers off. BID 17.05 /17.10/17.15/17.20 220,000 50,000 50,000 50,000 ASK 17.40/17.30/17.20 220,000 50,000 50,000 50,000 220,000x17.10=$3,762,000...

There is still a lot I have to learn, I got caught in a really nasty trade on option ex Friday, didn't think there was this kind of manipulation in the market... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=179532 Goes to show, be careful on option ex.

I've considered giving up on trading many times before and have! Then I end up coming back. I think eventually you realize that you simply know too much about how easy it is to make money trading that you won't be able to give it up. Maybe you'll take a break, but you'll be back. You...

Son of a bitch! I bought some BAC puts betting on them missing earnings. They missed earnings and it started to tank. Immediately I started to get excited that I was right! The stock dropped and based on past trends, I figured it would drop at least $2 on the miss. Well it didn't, it...

Basically they have raised the requirements for banks in the UK. Will other countries follow along? We'll see. ============ Oct. 14, 2009, 7:00 p.m. EDT LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Controversial new U.K. rules that require banks to hold more cash and government bonds could end up costing...

Just to play contrarian, is it possible that Bernake could be right? That devaluing the dollar is going to help all US companies get more of a competitive edge with global sales in a time when many businesses are now selling things online. Possibly even help businesses with a high amount of...

I think this is almost like the 4th window in unemployment that goes unchecked. 1. unemployed 2. those who gave up searching 3. those who retired early/social security 4. those who took a massive pay cut just to keep their job Really does seem like there is a squeeze going on.

It's been pointed out before that if some of that stuff was actually called, like even silver, there isn't enough mined up to deliver and some know that and probably are trying to corner the market to elevate prices and horde gold. It also is believed to cost too much to hold it even if you did...

Printed up in the NY Post, not in the inquirer, likely in print on major news stands. Pretty scarey stuff.

I would think JNJ would give some insight into what may happen with GE? Although GE is highly diversified across a wider segment, it could definitely be a good indicator of where the economy is. I think MMM has also been a fair indicator too of the economy and is usually ignored.

I thought Goldman put in more money into CIT than they are getting back? From what I read everyone is focusing on what they'll get but not on what they put in overall.

Also I think a lot of these banks will try to stay in line with their peers. It's like when one firm decides to start taking massive write downs, the others in that sector tend to join in since the overall sentiment is negative and the market begins wondering anyways who else has that problem...

This news came out and was widely ignored. Sounds almost like a warning.... http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idCNN1318675620091013?rpc=44 I think right now that the mania is so high right now, nobody is reading or paying attention to the news or numbers. Just going off of the...

Isn't this bad news for U.S. banks who have their reserves in U.S. dollars?

Why is this not being talked about on the news? THIS IS HUGE! Sorry if a repost on here. ------------------------ By PAUL THARP Last Updated: 3:16 AM, October 13, 2009 Posted: 1:44 AM, October 13, 2009 Ben Bernanke's dollar crisis went into a wider mode yesterday as the greenback...

In my opinion Alcoa was the red flag that went up. Once they came in and beat by using cost cutting when their real numbers were down, I knew we were in for a bumpy ride. Now you got JNJ trying to pull the same trick and they got fried in the pre-market.

JNJ tanking in the pre-market. Sales were down. The only reason they beat was with cost cutting/layoffs. They also cut research and development so sacrificed future growth to beat the street. Not getting much love in the pre-market. The street wants to see sales growth to know if we are...
