Paul Tudor Jones was interviewed in the first book. Not that he isn't worthy of another interview, I just think Schwager would want new blood. But then again, a new book about "Where Are They Now" that tells how or IF the "wizards" are still performing now would be interesting.

If Jack Schwager were to start writing another edition of Market Wizards today, who do you think would or should be interviewed to represent today's top traders? PS: You can't include yourself. :D

Totally agree. But for now Fast Money is as close as you'll come to that idea. When it first started it was really geared towards very short term trades, hence "FAST Money". Sometimes the guys will actually suggest a quick Straddle or very short term trade on the show, at least they used to. But...

The stock is MDR, McDermott International. But I have seen this in other option chains as well.

Just wondering why some contracts choose to be non-conformists and instead of 100 shares per contract they offer 150? Any ideas?

I don't use automatic systems but I do have a written plan for long and short trades. This is for swing trades, not daytrades.

Quick! Call Michael Moore for a quote! Wait...he said this never happens in Canada, only in America. BTW, if that left wing commie hates America so much, why doesn't he leave!

The default time setting for RSI on my Scottrade Elite platform is 14 (13 smoothing). I'm pretty sure this is the more popular setting. However, I just read an article where the author recommends using 21 to eliminate some false signals. IMO, technical analysis works because so many people...

See the review page on ET http://www.elitetrader.com/bo/index.cfm?action=view&B_ID=36&CatID=5 Read the post by kohlhofers from April 2006. It's very interesting. I for one found his book to be very interesting reading.

Levi Strauss made a fortune during the California gold rush and he never found a single nugget. Instead, he sold jeans to all the other fools looking for gold. As Levi had no intention to dig for gold I have no intentions to learn Forex trading but I can't ignore it's growing popularity...

That's what I think too but I am not sure. Technically, someone would have the obligation to buy my worthless shares if I hold the puts. That's the risk the put seller took. Correct? It seems to make sense.

If a company goes bankrupt, or out of business, what becomes of the Put holders? Does the contract still have to be honored? I know it's great to be short the stock when the company goes bankrupt but I'm not positive about the options.

Dan, The articles you read are probably comparing ETFs to Mutual Funds as INVESTING instruments. Many people dollar cost average into investment accounts. Using ETFs can get expensive since you would pay a commision with every deposit as opposed to depositing into a NTF mutual fund. Your...

Thanks for the link 4.

Not unlike what I've been doing via the IBD 100 momo stocks. Thanks for the insight.

It's often asked on ET what the pros and cons of trading index options over the ETF equivalents are. Including a past question from yours truly. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73794&highlight=OEX This subject is brought up and explained pretty well in the Sept...

I just bought and started reading Thomas Bulkowski's "Getting Started in Chart Patterns" after reading his current article in T/A of Stocks & Commodities. It's not listed in the book review section yet so I'll bring my question here. His "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns" is listed and has...

I don't know why my chart didn't upload. That's exactly how I did it. Saved as a jpg, attached it but it doesn't show up in the post. It's not too large. Oh well............. Whoa, now it's there!

Fried, How did you post the link to your chart pic? I tried to post a chart for the S&P today and the attachment didn't show up. As an amateur technician, I think I see a cup& handle and a double bottom (in the cup). And at todays close it looks like a breakout from a flag pattern.

As an amateur technician, I think I see a cup& handle and a double bottom. And if the S&P closes near it's current level today it looks like a breakout from a flag pattern. Anyone else agree with this bullish view or should I continue learning? I'm trying to attach a pic.....
