I don't need gloves - just stops. But it could always gap past my stops. Not a knock on you but a general observation is that only a day or two ago anyone shorting BIDU, RIMM, GOOG etc... was considered brave. Now it seems going long is a brave move. Funny how quickly the sentiment seems to...

What a weird day. Got long on the close (111.00) with a pretty wide stop 6 dollars lower at 105. It feels like a pretty risky trade so it should work out. Also got long BIDU (which is being blamed by Reuters for the decline) on the close @ 308.80 with a stop at 301. People seem to have got...

Well my limit got hit @ 118.50 right near the open so that's it for me.

The explanation I liked best was this: Take a 1000 cups with one coin. Choose one cup and the dealer (who knows where the coin is) removes 998 of the cups leaving us with 2 cups. Would it be logical to switch to the cup the dealer didn't take away or do you think you guessed right the first time...

I remember reading about this scenario in The New Market Wizards - it always pays to switch.

I'm short DRYS at the close today (118.00, stop 120.50). This thing is going to 105 at least. The volume today was crazy.

Moved the stop to 115.50 with a view to get out @ 118.50. 116.50 is really important and if RIMM does a nose dive it might well get back to 107.

I hate Mac's and I hate Apple products in general, I find the software very non-intuitive - yet it doesn't bother me to be bullish on AAPL once in while, go figure.

Just checking out some charts and thought this looked like a good trade - long RIMM at market (114.50) with a stop at 113.50. Maybe 117 initially but new highs aren't inconceivable.

Stock you're making some huge assumptions here buddy.

Could you be a little more specific?

If anything the gap between the super smart and the not-so-smart is getting bigger.

Nice going Stock! How about an updte on the index?

Freaking hell just close the trade! It's up 13% and you're still short?! You must have deep pockets and be trading small percentage to have any logic for holding on.

You know what Stock, you get a lot of flack on this site - yet it doesn't seem to bother you. But because of you it's more entertaining around here; you even get it right now and again.

Why not just buy a call?

I read the excerpt on Amazon (haven't decided whether or not to buy it) and I thought it was pretty entertaining. Tim Sykes may be over-promoting (is there such a thing?) but to be fair, his book doesn't seem all that bad. A book that's on my list to buy is Market microstructure for...

2pts big deal. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Looks a little over done for now but a great play if you're quick in getting out when it turns red; it could easily climb another 10 or 20$ before that hapens though.

What about CROX? As much as I hate plastic shoes the market doesn't, not yet anyway.
