Thanks - but what is UGO? I can't find it. Sold My GOOG put this a.m. late for $148 profit, bought a Dec.400 call @$10.40 at the same time when the stock was going more than halfway up past yesterday's dark candle. This reversal surprised me and cost me a lot of profit as this sharp a...

Thanks - I had a look at the course and the other ones offered - read a few but need to reread them - they're sometimes hard to follow as they go a little against my experience and I need some clarification on some of the wording.

Thanks for the forward - I've registered with the site for the next local seminar. I have lots of suggested books to read now - will be a while before I get to them all. What are you playing right now?

Holding DNA, DIA, GOOG puts. While GOOG is doing great - up $500 on the one put alone (Nov.390), DIA and DNA are stalling today. I am stuck in OTM Dec.4 calls on NT, will just ride them - not much to be gained by selling them. Stuck also on OTM Nov.32.50 calls on TXN - same trade-off - I'll just...

Remarkable! I never dreamed traders could rally together like that for any one end other than their own gain! Learn something new everyday...

I was thinking of that very thing when I was last posting. There seems to be an uncanny relationship/correlation between news and TA. What makes it so odd is that we don't assume any predictability to the onset of any quality of news over time, yet we do with TA, and we also correlate news to...

Great goin', Multi! I really think though, unless you can enlighten otherwise, that today's midday APA spike is due primarily to the report that the top oil CEOs' meeting in washington have a unanimous defence and justification to the Senate inquiry for their oil price spikes and profits...

Hi Multi - glad to see your next pick on this stormy thread. I am somewhat alarmed you pick the energy sector - most energy stocks are timidly following the wildly fluctuating prices of gas and crude these days since Oct.3. We all are expecting the price of gas to rise with the inclement weather...

Sold my GGC Nov.30 calls today for a tidy 119% profit. I'd bought on Cramer's pick - 4 Oct.18 and another 2 Oct.31. Time was eroding and volume was going down on the option. Sold my GOOG Nov.400 call @$7.20, originally bought @$6.90. Bought a GOOG Dec.420 call @$9.60, am hoping to learn to...

Thanks for the info - I unfortunately don't have the funds to attend right now - did you attend stateside or up in Canada where I am? Can you divulge what the stock info you got told you about NUS and IRF?

What is it about those ones that made you so confident they'd dump when they did (will)? I can't see any pattern in IRF and am not sure about NUS con'ting down. I'm just looking for clues into reading winning trades.

Is anyone out there having trouble logging into IB this weekend? I can't seem to and don't know why, since I updated my TWS and Java applet. According to their website, the TWS is available Sun. noon EST.

No kidding! I'm hoping we'll find a similar runner to throw around before Christmas - or even one as bearish as GOOG is bullish and play both of them. I imagine it'll hit a resistance at $400 and just carry on after the correction - I don't know any sources saying anything bearish about it. I'm...

Yes, that's a good idea as well - to read Cramer's book. He's said a couple of times he used to trade options for a living - wonder why he doesn't still... Calls for tree removal are dropping off for the season, I'll be hungrily looking for ways to make dollars on the market, and otherwise if I...

You must have a steadier hand than I - I couldn't hold my calls when GOOG dipped in the first hour yesterday with such a strong NASDAQ climb and so bought a put, but lost on both counts as I traded them again for a call this a.m. when stock was up over $5, and then it sat below that the rest of...

Hi. Glad I could be of help. Yes, I did make some money yesterday and today. I've been very timid about being in GOOG though lately, and today missed the big rally between 0840-0900MST. I'd held a NOV390 call overnight I bought yesterday @ $5.90 15mins. before close, and sold this a.m. at...

Thanks, CMNS2, I will look up those books. I've never heard anyone yet say that being right about underlying and wrong about understanding on other related issues can work against you, yet it must be true judging by how much space you guys devote to talking about it. Those are things never...

I often wonder about those radio, TV, and website "experts". Seems I'm the only one I know who's ever tried them - and for the most part, failed with them. I've been trading realtime since last Feb. and the first advisors I subscribed to were The Daytrade Team, in ILL. Well, that was a disaster...

My level of understanding is zilch on those topics - I basically trade trends and rely a bit on volume, slow stochs, MACD, and Bolinger Bands with a 20day EMA. I must say I rely most on the BB and EMA lines, vol. next and then stochs. I watch a group of favorite stocks and try sometimes to read...

I don't have access to a chart program that let's me see candle patterns for a specific historic period other than the past up to this point - I was wondering if downturns on your XAU have characteristic clear candles scattered throughout the downtrend like there are darks in the uptrend. If...
