Welcome. I feel better now. Goodnight and good trading tomorrow.

I think the rate cut more than unlikely; having said that, I would look at the mortgage insurance names ( I have one in mind but I'll keep that to myself) that have sold off near 50 percent in the last month, but yet have little to no exposure to anything under A paper. NOT ALT-A exposure. That...

While the market is closed, news happens. This news affects the traders in that market; they revise their views as to what the going price should be, and enter orders accordingly. This accounts for the price discontinuity. As to your second question, this depends on the market, how your...

I've got my levels figured for a bounce, which I think is most likely. Should that not develop, I expect chop her after last week's largish move; so trade as if chop. Might sell off more but I think that's the lowest probability--not saying if won't go down a bit early but I think it unlikely to...

Hey, where can I get one of those?? My BSD is looking a little whithered... :D

Hey, we get enough bad luck, you deserve to win one!

Trade it a bit and you'll see it often tends to overshoot the others. It's just its character. You'll begin to like that after awhile... Me, I am waiting on today's gap up open; remember Mr. Market, I said gap Up open... :D

I thank you for this post; this is exactly what ET is all about. I did not see this before, so I am glad you brought it to my attention. I don't think I have ever seen this happen before, where a dividend is canceled between the record and ex-div date. Unreal. And what a dividend! I mean, the...

Michael, I would simply like to point out that there is _no_ chart that always works out. The market can and does do what it wants, period. That being said, I am in agreement with you regarding the likelihood of a bounce; so much so that I actually bought some long ER2 contracts just near...

Shuddop! I'm batein' :D

How wonderful for you. As for me, I am a devout atheist. How wonderful for me, I can give all that glory to myself. And just fyi, faith does not require religion. LOL

I wanted to thank you again on that micron heads up; still working well and I've added a bit and tossed it into long term hldgs. Again, well done! As for this one, I'm with you, but my gut feeling is we get another down from here; I think I'll be looking in the sub 4 dollar range for a buy...

Exactly. I have heard this called trading around a core position. Pulling some off when you think the market is overbought, adding when undersold, while maintaining a directional bias as warranted. If we KNEW what was coming next, then yes, everything would be all in or out; of course, this is...

I guess you are a net loser; maybe you should think this out. And I never told you anything about what I make on average, that is my business and my business alone. I will say though that I do not sit around trading one's and two's; not that I am knocking anyone at this level. It's simply that...

I had only a quick trade Friday then errands to run, and I trade ER2 so I cannot answer your question directly. However, I do have a bit of a rule I use. Say in a given week I have a 1000 ish day, then 3 high 2's, low 3's kinda days, then say maybe a 5K day. This trading 5's 10's and 20's. So...

Where I live overnight margin is just 50K on 100 cars, if you stay out of that 15 minutes of "overnight"

Yeah, but so did I, so it's ok. :)

Just FYI I bailed most of my ER2 trade and am working on what's left. Had a good day and don't wanna throw it all away. Certainly doesn't have much spring in the bounce just yet... :cool: So thin right now, gotta be easy.
