    We're going higher 'til Friday. I see it from my view as a Swing Trader, rather than a day trader. Tomorrow could be a down day due to today's over-enthusiasm but I'm still confident on a really nice climb for the week. Sorry I sound so confident, but thats how I trade. SM

    The markets will be moving up for a few days. I wouldn't be short here on any kind of swing trade.

    Predict where SPY will go in the next few months in this thread!!! Charts!!!!!!!

    I can do it. But I can only predict a few days ahead at most and there are some days where I can't predict...and when that happens, I can tell you that I can't predict it. You do have to realize that sometimes there are situations where two paths emerge. It will either go to "A", or it...

    SMA bounce

    You may find that the price action bounces off two different SMAs. (i.e., one short-term and one long-term) I've seen it alternate between two different ones and the tricky part is figuring out which one it will go through and which one it will bounce off of. SM

    What's your approach of going Long Volatility?

    Don't know what you mean by "generic", but look at the correlation between the VIX and a highly leveraged short fund: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=TZA&t=3m&l=on&z=l&q=l&p=&a=&c=%5Evix In the short-term, you can get quite a bit of the same performance out of it. IMHO, going long on the...

    What if I get hit by a bus?

    And buy some life insurance on yourself to be distributed evenly to your customers to help cover losses caused by the delay.

    I like VVUS. Didn't get "thrown off the track" during this downdraft.

    Sell-Off: Delayed Reaction to QE2 Announcement?

    Technical Analysis tells the story here. Sometimes the markets are at a sweet spot from a Technical Analysts perspective and they do what they have to do regardless of the news. If you watch Bloomberg enough, sometimes you'll see someone say "I don't really know why the market is rallying"...

    Buying physicals...

    Whats the big deal? Your ad is anonymous. You buy in a public place with cash on a first name basis after testing it. You keep it in a safe deposit box. Do you keep all your cash in your house, or just some of it in your house and most in the bank? You could run a safety deposit box stash...

    Buying physicals...

    Depending on the amount you want to buy, you could consider putting up a craigslist ad to buy gold. Always buy it in a public place for safety. You could get a discount to spot that way. Then just keep it in a safety deposit box.

    Technical Analysis = CRAP

    But if you're using relative strength metrics to make money, aren't you using T.A. ??? S M

    Technical Analysis = CRAP

    Maybe some brilliant minds have come up with moneymaker signals but they aren't sharing it. Perhaps the brilliant minds know that if the moneymaker signal gets into the public domain it will not work for the reasons you cited. So the brilliant minds are brilliant enough to know not to let that...

    The loneliness of success

    +1. I just like sharing triumphs. And FWIW, based on Gambler's post, I'm not where he is yet. I made it clear that I needed a lot of doubling time for my capital to amount to anything serious. Lots of people think that you can double your money in a few days or a week or whatever. If you...

    The loneliness of success

    A fair question. I like playing blackjack. After a visit to the casino, I enjoy sharing what I did. Basically, I just like to talk about what I'm interested in. I'm very interested in trading. I love it. I get a kind of adrenaline rush from it and like all of my other interests, I enjoy...
