an alternative trading vehicle for Japanese exposure is the stock EWJ (Ishare MSCI Japan). it's pretty much an overnight bet, just like the Nikkei at the CME. it's pretty liquid. bought some yesterday, and flipped it today for a 1+% scalp.

simply amazing. if they start announcing orders from europe too, this stock will reach pluto soon.

interesting yesterday how out of nowhere, the stock rallied 3 points in the final 30 minutes to close at 100. options expiry related i would suspect.

FYI. two-year Taser trial in the U.K. ends tomorrow. possible orders coming. also, earnings release on 4/20.

interesting fact. NITE and SCHB trade more than 60% of the volume in this stock the past few months.

out at 101. giving back my gains yesterday. i'll take that. looking to re-evaluate and probably re-establish as the day progresses.

that 5PM spike is due to DELL raising guidance. not worth 10 points in the ES definitely. just stops snowballing upon themselves. they'll probably break some trades i think.

depends what cost of borrowing u are using. i've seen it double from my previous short.

they don't always have supply, recently they have.

i agree. that i have. good luck to the shorts.

i like the action for my short. average price at 86. it's going to be like falling off a cliff. IMHO

i wonder how much of this activity is due to shorts not wanting to show their losing position for quarter end. definitely feels like the biggest short squeeze in a while. when it stops, it will drop IMHO.

took a small short position at 85. what the heck! being careful with this obviously.

touching 83 afterhours.. massive short squeeze + quarter end mark-ups. 40% of float is shorted.... ouch!!!

during liquid times, u can see at least 1000 contracts on the best bid and offer. during less liquid times, a few hundred contracts. during crazy times (unemployment reports and the like), that's a different story. to put this to dollar terms, even 200 contracts on the best bid and...
