It looks like this new issue is getting bid up. I wouldnt be uncomfortable with a long position at this point and might get some at the open. Usually when I see this type of pattern, then it will run. Nowadays IPOS are quickly fading, but this one isnt and is up quite a bit. I dont know...

I wouldnt say which is easier, but which is more enjoyable. Lets face it, trading simply is not as enjoyable as a poker table. Looking at monitors, watching screens, etc. Trading is pretty dry, unexciting, etc. Playing poker at a table in Vegas is very exciting to me and has this certain...

I noticed that RACK and NTAP seem to take off right in August. This has been a predictable cycle this last two years with both these stocks. RACK especially has fits where it spikes to 40 dumps back to 18 and then its back to 40. NTAP is not so volatile but it does have its day starting in...

Is your only function on this earth to look at a tape, react to it and attempt to generate cash? Thats sad. Why not learn the actual reasons why its moving up? Sometimes its nice to study things and know the reasons. Educate yourself. We dont come to elitetrader to find education...

Now this is interesting. Almost exactly 12 months ago to this day, there was a similiar gap up. It seems like the CEO finds ways to pump up the stock every year and then it dumps back down because he isnt able to deliver on the inflated expectations. I dont believe in the BRLC story...

...and who seems to know more? A bunch of nameless faceless guys behind home computers using handles on an unreputable trading website or Bloomberg? Looks like futures in the red at this point...

14100 is my target and after that, short short short.

Come on. The reason why the DOW is going up is because of the shorts??? Really? Is everytime an index of any kind goes up, it must be the shorts??? Is that the new normal? Just look at the components of the DOW. There are only 30 of them. I will give you a hint, it starts with an E...

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=NHQSE.X This, by far, was THE BEST play of the day. Im cashing out my puts right now. These Barron's articles have destroyed stocks like JSDA and BRLC. I love Barron's!

Im up today across the board. The pattern prevailing is one where only a few stocks are leading the way while the others are either chopping or on the downtrend. Only 50% of the stocks listed on the Nasdaq are above their 50 day moving average. I have a few different strategies and...

************************************************* Quote from SiSePuede!: Why not? If you're such a great trader you should be able to work ONLY trading in my opinion. I really don't mean to offend you as you're one of the few posters on this board who I have respect for. But if you can't...

The DJIA is just for entertainment purposes only. It represents 30 stocks out of a market of 3249 stocks on the NYSE, 1240 on the AMEX, 3061 on the NASDAQ and 1728 on the Bulletin Board. Depending on what index you look at, it may seem like its party time or bend over and hold your socks...

Many of the guys on here work dayjobs. This is far from a professional trader's forum. In fact, I think most of the posts in the trading section are simply some guys fooling around and blowing off steam. The trading section seems more like a Soccer game in Mexico then an actual forum for...

The point is a simple one. Although the indexes are moving higher, the majority of stocks are moving lower. Advancing Issues 1,325 (41%) 586 (48%) 1,234 (40%) 543 (32%) Declining Issues 1,777 (55%) 557 (45%) 1,685 (55%) 708 (42%) Unchanged Issues 124 (4%) 86 (7%) 129 (4%) 425...

I am almost 100% in puts and short. One of my best put plays for the day was Baker Hughes. Made 50% on those puts alone today. Baker Hughes wasnt my idea though it was TraderTims. I dont want to take the credit for it. I have puts all over the place. Too many too list, however...

...except for a few solar daytrades, I am 100% short and in puts. My BHI puts have done very well, I have doubled my money on CC and RSH puts. Quite a few choice short positions out there. I am profitable on all trades. http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?$NAA50 According to...

I have read through this thread and here are my thoughts... First, read over all the stories of what happened to many traders after the crash of 1987 or from the years of 2000-2002. Google it or talk to some guys in real life who lived through those times. Most traders were completely...

I monitor www.tradertim.blogspot.com aggressively. I sometimes copy his ideas as its profitable to plagerize at times. Baker Hughes (BHI) seems to be a rich short play. The stock failed to bust through all time highs set over a year ago in June. Now it seems to be pulling back in...
