Amazing. A trade like this maybe comes once a year where you would have had absolutely no chance of getting stopped out. I was dead on the money, a straight up 500+ point move. Thats somewhere between a $2500-$3000 profit per contract. But did I make a penny off this?? Of course not. Instead I...

OK - so it looks like the ex-dividend date happens right around the time/before the record date.........................

Yes - but when is the key. The div payout is the 4th, so would it drop the next trading day after that on the 7th? If so, the $13.50 cushion is more than enough for you to bail the day after the record cut off date which is nearly a week earlier.

DPZ has declared a whopping special $13.50 dividend. It will be paid on May 4th to all shareholders on record by April 27th. Here is what I am wondering-- The stock price will be trading at the adjusted dividend payout the next trading day Monday on May 7th. So if you bought it say a...

If you were counting US gross, those have to be pretty close, but I dont think any movie US domestic has ever busted the billion mark. You would have to go with the world wide count. I would have to say Titanic for sure and one of the Lord of Rings flicks. Harry Potter should be pretty close...

Right! Thanks for pointing that out. I finally saw the Departed. Nice movie with plenty of surprises. Anyone going out to see Grind House??

Well the YM opened with a little weakness this AM, but turned off the day's lows at 12,500 and rallied 70+ points before closing with a decent gain. The index has had a breakout from recent consolidation. Things are looking really well for next week. If you are still sitting on those...

lol - Sounds like a plan

Allot. It was one of the worst reversals I have seen lately, considering how bullish the trend has been. Especially because it happened so late in the day. It is one thing to completely miss a run, but then to finally get in and wacked for a near 20% one day loss has to hurt worse. Looks...

This will go down as one of the biggest missed ones of the year for me as well. I could see this one coming a mile a way & even posted so earlier in this thread, but of course never picked up a single share of it being distracted with other scalps and intraday trades. I am going back to swing...

Have you ever done something with respect to trading that was so stupid, you seriously wanted to punch yourself in the face?? Well as predicted from my initial post and chart, if you went long on the YM, you are up like 175 points or $875 per contract right now! Or in Spectra's case...

I remember like yesterday being on another thread with some of you. I will have to look this up when I have a moment, but back in this past mid December 2006, the AMD CEO was at a presentation/meeting and made some very bullish comments. AMD stock surged & jumped to nearly $24 & was looking...

Last week

The news and data are telling you one thing. But the charts are saying something else. After a bounce off that key 12250 mark, the index has now built what appears to be a strong bullish flag consolidation pattern.

I am curious to hear about your strategy. Are you opening the trades simultaneously going like long stock and long at the money put or collars or something else?

For retail trading that is a very good price. I think if you averaged a bunch of different online brokers, you would be in the neighborhood of a $1.00. Depending on how active you are you can get better rates like with ToS, check out IB and TS too.

The next few days will present some great opportunities as we wind down already the 1st quarter action for this new year and institutions & fund managers predictably try to make their ending statements as pretty as possible. Stock winners with strength & good performance will be pumped...

What an idiot I am. I just realized what time of the year this is; already the end of the 1st quarter & this stock is probably #1 on most holdings lists with institutions, funds, etc. - so its obviously going to get a real nice dressing to make performance and statements look pretty, hence, the...

I think I may actually weep. This is bringing back sweet memories of the good old days, when you could absolutely count on a stock doubling in price on a pre-split run. Since the lows in the mid/upper $30's a couple weeks or so ago on GROW, this has surged now nearly 60% in price. Would not...
