LOL shatteredx registered in 2016. No offense but could you be mistaking a bull market for brains.

Guess all these years and wisdom allegedly gained mean nothing anymore when it comes to irrational behavior. WHY the hell would the DOW be up so much after Moore loses and the Fed is primed to raise rates?! Maybe someone a lot smarter than this older guy can provide a genuine reason for this...

yes, january'18 calendar spreads

Wow, for a minute there I thought the market may be selling off finally. Oh no, it's time to BUY more. Always thought the adage "buy on rumor, sell on the good news" applied. Meaning everything is coming up roses so now is the time to take some off the table since what better news is ahead...

"What I don't understand how we can see some decent swings on S&P but the VIX still stays at 11 or so... etc." I don't understand and been following the markets since early 1980s. We just saw AAPl 'crash' 10% without a flinch or blip in the VIX. Like, are you kidding me??! Sorry to chime in but...

The S & P is never going to top nor is the DJIA. It's going to continue to go higher forever. Kinda like I recall back in late 1999 and early 2000.

What was the "relief" due to ? :) Passing a kidney stone? The market fell allegedly due to Trump worries, impeachment and the sundry other things we are seeing in the spectacle that is now Washington DC. Did things change overnight such that the rally into expiry was a "relief" ? Think it was...

Upon what factors/facts do you base your opinion the "big boys want it to go up" on? Just curious. Thanks.

appreciate the input; you guys are more sophisticated with 'Xs' and 'Os'. I just decided to buy *a lot* of shares at 32-34 (hoping since it was April it might spike); and it spiked to 46-47; and I sold the position. Seemed like a decent trade. However, what do you suggest would have been a...

Huh?? I am long TVIX shares recently. I have also sold VIX calls as a hedge to the TVIX. Not perfect since tvix follows futures, but worked OK so far.

All i know is I have been adding to TVIX shares (2xs velocity shares) and still i keep losing money. Absurd. I guess no one learned a thing from the early 2000s and 2006-07-08! An example of how complacent things are is AAPL which missed by a decent amount on sales and services, and yet it's...

Thought I heard that our deficit is down significantly due to "increased revenue" Wonder what any of the bigoted, unreasonable, angry, right-wing zealot losers [you few guys know who you are on ET] have to say about that since they dislike Obama. OR how the stock market is making new...

I would love to see scum like you haul your own garbage and do many of the things the government does. Do clowns like you actually have any clue as to what you are FOR?! I have always hated critics - they are the epitome of a coward!

I have not been on this site in a while but was reading what some of you turds are writing. Damn if I can understand what it is that you are FOR and what it is that you are AGAINST! I feel pity and sorrow for those few losers who post on the ET "politics" forums daily; since they are...

entered ITM puts on FAS today. Actually did weekly calendar using this week and next. Losing so far. September classically a weak month. But having lived through the 80s and the last 90s into 2001 - nothing surprises me anymore. Buy the dips works until - it doesn't.

it's down $2 in AH

what price did you buy the CLF 18.5c at? Did you close BIDU [i trade it every week]

good luck

OP isn't wrong. Who would expect this up move today. Certainly not I. At least not to this extent. Is there no top ever; or to re-phrase - no meaningful correction before moving to new highs. I have been playing FAS and it's crazy. I can never sell enough puts or do enough bullish...
