CNBC just broke another great story (MER). So. all you naysayers...what has the Bloomberg channel done for you lately?

I've never invested a dime based on his recommendations, but I often trade with or against him. His "Stop Trading" segments on CNBC used to move stocks significantly. But with each successive blowup like today, and as Leonard the Monkey emerges as the relative genius, the ability to trade off...

Cramer has been uncanny in his ability to lose traders/investors money, but his dark wizardry has been most apparent in the Biotech sector this year. After telling investors nearly the entire year to drop all the small cap biotech stocks for NSTK (when it was trading at 14-16), the stock now...

"We" own the world? Look out....those crazy Orientals are prone to take you white folk down.

"Nappy-headed" Hos. Not very ambiguous. Nappy-headed has always been a derogatory reference to African American hair texture. The one white girl seen with the team has silky straight black hair.

Actually I will turn 12 next month. I went from Kindergarten straight to trading. Why waste all that time in K1-12 and college when there was serious $$$$ to be made!

Animal House? Sorry, way before my time.

By Krauts, I assume you are referring to the Germans. Um wrong. It was the Japanese who bombed PH ("Japs" to you I assume). Anyway, I assume you started this thread just to see if any of us were awake. Well, we're not. Back to my nap.

I agree that there are profits to be made all over the place...that was my point. Therefore, I will continue to make money off of stocks and you off of futures. This has been a very one-sided debate (where were my fellow stocktraders...I serioulsy must be the only one left.) Oh well, maybe...

That's a very good question. Having traded stocks for seven years now, I am attuned to ones that inherently are prone to higher volatility (eg. I keep MBI, RIMM, AAPL, ABK, among my list of 25-30 stocks I monitor daily. I add/delete as news or other factors dictate. For instance, I never even...

The charts for SPY /ESZ7 and the QQQQs/NQZ7 are virutally identical. To protect from downside, you have stops and/or puts(calls if short).

You see it as risk, I see it as an indicator of a stock's relative strength/weakness on any given trading day. Comparing the stock to the overall market serves to reinforce trading decisions.

Who needs or wants 100:1 leverage for trading. I can do without that risk. I'll admit there are days when futures are going to prove much more lucrative (eg. FOMC days etc). But on days like today, where intraday futures moves have been lackluster, it seems crazy to try to squeeze a...

Just after I posted the above, a news report comes out saying China Mobile has exclusive rights to sell the Blackberry in China and that an order for 10,000 handsets has already been received. That explains the pop. These stocks are very "Sino-Sensitive" right now. Hope you have...

26 point range for the futures in the past hour. What chart are you looking at.?? When I first posted, RIMM was trading at just over 100. That's where I got in long. I just got out at the 50% Fib RT around 103.50. So, yes, my stock trading can "touch" your futures trading. And that's just one...

The news/rumors that AAPL's iphone is coming to China very soon is spooking those who counted on RIMM to have first dibs on this lucrative market. And remember, this stock has more than tripled this year, greatly outperforming AAPL. So any perception of a competitive advantage to AAPL is going...

I read about how seasoned and successful? traders transition from stocks to futures. I don't get it. Tax advantages? Nullified by AMT, if you are indeed successful. But look what you miss out on, for example, just in the last hour: ABK > 20% move MBI >20% move DNA >6% move RIMM...

Financials like C, WFC and MER are soaring 5% on good volume (especially for a semi-holiday) while recent tech leaders RIMM, AAPL, GOOG and NVDA are experiencing real selling pressure. Does this rotation have legs or is it just a two-day wonder?

Only off by 300+ points. Glad you're not managing my money.

Oh, but there are so many, though NSTK has to be one of his worst calls ever. For many many months he has been telling everyone to get out all of their smaller cap biotechs to buy this dog. This has to have hurt a lot of people (if any one actually follows his advice anymore). Some other...
