    ESI - ITT Educational Services Inc.

    I can't believe this stock is trading at $13, it could easily be at $100 in 3-4 years from now. You don't have to stretch the numbers that much for it to pull in $8 EPS at 12-13 P/E = ~100. The education sector would have to recover but still, I don't think it’s impossible that once the...

    BBBY Earning Front Month Straddle

    i don't know anything about options involving the statistics of it (i'm planning to learn more) but I bought the 62.5 calls at .55 in later part of feb and sold 2 weeks ago ~3.40. basically the company has always traded around 15 P/E and the guidance in the 8-K given should have priced the...

    The Cool Kids Aren't Starting Hedge Funds Anymore Read more

    everything moves together, up and down. If you want to beat it you need to buy into stocks that will move just a little more than the market. But that 4-10% price gain will be greatly reduced by diversification. So if you think you shouldn't 20 stock diversify then you will need to pick the...

    wh$$ is going on with this market!? can't take it anymore!! help!

    it looks like were setting up for a pullback in april--just like in 2012, 2011 and 2010. But really, what are the chances this happens AGAIN?!? 4 years in a row of the same seasonal pattern? I'd rather take the contrary angle and say that this pattern breaks, which means we stay in a low volume...

    FBI Vs HFT

    Are you sure thats HFT causing it or just low volume? If you sold 170 at the bid and bid dropped 5-7% that just seems more like a lack of volume and liquidity. If algo trading wasn't around how would it be different? Would there just be a bigger size at the next highest bid so after you sold it...

    gotta laugh at the cnbc guys

    its not that complicated strongest sectors that have moved this market are tech, oil, metals and mining minor ones are agriculture, financials, retail if you want some huge sell off then you need ALL of those to decline. However, that hasn't happened at all. Remember '2010...

    The s&p has all the suspense of roller derby

    if your not betting on earnings, some report or news that affects stock volatility, then yea shorting is really hard. imo shorting is also hard intraday because selling weakness isn't working as well as buying weakness. which seems flawed because trend following should win the coinflip more...

    Drinking vodka and trading

    op i think i get what your saying. you sound like you have a bullish bias and need something that will allow you to not fear putting on risk while at the same time not make you over confident. theres nothing wrong with experimenting, try vodka, weed or adderal. All of these things in...

    Any drug to help make u a better trader?

    small dose of aderrall may help if you trade on a system based approach opposed to intuition. basically you want anything that boosts your serotonin (makes you happy) while at the same time doesn't dupe you into thinking that every trade you make is an instant winner.

    SEC may abolish stop-loss orders

    Well there goes many traders edge. The edge of limiting downside risk. If I buy at 110 and stop at 108. Theres a chance I will be holding it at 105 not because there was a lack of liquidity or selling presure that widened the B/A . no rather my order became a limit sell at 108 and the...

    Recommend me a futures broker firm that will take in $3000 for intraday ES

    and $500 day trading ES margins. I got rejected by RCG probably because I'm under 23, only have 3000, no hard asset savings, and just graduated college. Also in the employment section I told them I have an interview at jam ba juice next week. So they denied me which means I can't use a futures...

    A mini ES scalper's journal

    this is a good point, i think a good short on ES was at 9:55-9:56. However, I would have (well I did) buy back at exactly what you're talking about NoDoji. At 10:08 you saw a tail bottom hi lo range on 1 minute (i'm looking at printer paper) of about 3 points (a lot at this vix level imo)...
