I was browing through Esignal's data sources window the other day and noticed that access to the NYMEX E-minis is pretty cheap (about $5 per month). Oil seems to frequently be a factor lately in determining market direction, so my question is: Do the E-minis tend to track the full contracts...

I think I might revise my projection for the QQQQs, the chart is starting to look a fair bit weaker than it was previously, so now I'm no longer as confident about the $41-$42 projection for October.

I hope these work, the MarketWatch links are pretty messy. Here they are, first article just mentions someone joining State Street, the second provides slightly more info, and the third article is the one that I was referencing in my original post: "ETF pioneer who left State Street joins...

I'm going to second his opinion about GOOG (to some extent), though I'm not going to comment on hypothetical trading scenarios (I don't have the account to dabble with something like GOOG, not yet trading options, definately don't have the capital to trade the underlying). The thing with GOOG...

Well, I've moved on for the moment, but it's still on my watchlist.

I was watching those GOOG for a bit today, looks like you made out pretty darn well so far on your 310 calls.

Eddings?

I still think that we'll see QQQQ's in the ballpark of $42 or more between now and options expiry in October, even if resistance at $40 is strong. If you look at a 6 month daily chart for QQQQ, there have been two upwards waves followed by retraces, we are are now part-way through the third...

It's probably worth pointing out that many students (such as myself) need to balance university and a busy work schedule. I may not have a 4.0 GPA, but I do have an excellent resume with work experience that is relevant to my major, so I'm not terribly worried about finding work once I'm done...

I have a few stocks on my watchlist right now, particularly ATI (ATYT), Nortel (NT), CV Tech (CVQ on TSX Venture), and Chartwell (CWH on TSX). Ironically I had mentioned Chartwell on another thread that was making fun of analyst call-in shows on business channels, but I've been watching CWH's...

Was reading a bit about the concept behind them on Marketwatch.com, basically will be ETFs with two specific features: leverage, plus bull/bear friendly ETFs. The former aspect (the article called it double beta) is interesting, since it would provide an investment vehicle that is safer (less...

Oops, sorry, forgot to include exit price in previous post, it was $0.99.

Closed my position today for about a 3% loss, stock was hovering around $1.00 on a strong day for the Nasdaq. Can't really quantify it beyond the above, but the stock no longer feels "right", so I decided to close the position.

Still holding my long position, though the price action this week will definately determine where I go from here. $1.00 appears to be holding as an interim point of support, and I personally thought that Thursday and Friday of last week (Sept 1 & Sept 2) were pretty much useless trading days...

Thanks from me as well, I'll be sure to keep an eye on your journal, and I'm sure that nobody here minds you posting about your trading in this thread, I know that I don't.

I'm inclined to take the opposite side of this sentiment, though I should specify that my primary area of interest primarily lies with high tech stocks, as well as the Nasdaq overall (plus QQQQs). We've been seeing higher highs for oil on a regular basis for weeks now, and I think we're...

I think this is an interesting move on the part of the Bush admin. Haven't read up on the full news item yet, but dumping a bunch of supply into a market is generally a very good way to lower prices. If oil prices do start to decline/retrace, I'm very interested to see how the markets will...

My personal favorite was watching an analyst on RobTV twice talking about a Canadian stock called Chartwell (T.CWH). First appearance on the show was the day that the stock did its final spike to nearly $12 (around April 10). Stock was rated a buy, analyst talked about how the stock had done...

My perspective on this is that the hurricane has caused the following: - large insurance costs - disruption in oil & gas drilling/pumping in Gulf of Mexico - disruption in refinining oil into gasoline, jet fuel, etc. - big freaking mess in the affected area I think that the Gulf of...
