    50% retracements

    I agree that the 50% Fib level is a good place to start looking for a retrace. I prefer to use the .618% instead. Use this as a springboard to the 1st Fib extention levels as a profit target. Just look at a 5 min chart for QQQQ. Most days if it gaps open, plot the fibs on the previous days...

    Fibonacci Retracement Trading

    Way too much information....keep it simple. Dont worry about how the number are obtained and the math behind it all. Just use the fibs and extentions and they will give you an idea of where the market should go. The first support and resistance after the open (or about 30 minutes) will set...

    Views of DJI

    I said this back in early OCT, but I think the DJI will finally stop in the 7000 - 7800 range. This make the most since. The last slide in the DJI back in the spring was a signal of what was to come. Using the Fibonacci w. extensions you can see that it could not break the 50% fib level off...

    Hijacked Oil Tanker

    Just curious why these ship that are carring valuable cargo..oil, tanks, food, etc, just pay a small team of guards to be on board. Mount a couple 50 Calibre on each end and sides, then riddle any intruders like swiss cheese. This will be a lot less cost than the ransom would be if captured.

    Mitt Romney Says, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt"...

    Agreed!!! If the UAW is going to sit back in their "Lazy Chair" and cry and complain that they are not going to give up anything, then Chapter 11 should be the way to go. They just don't get it! Jobs are lost all over the country, so they have a choice of giving in some consessions or just...

    Selling In the Money Covered Calls

    CORRECT! Once the option closes at expiration at least $.25 ITM (I think that level is correct, but it may be different) The option will be exercised. That being said you will be on the hook for the difference between the strike you SOLD and the expiration price. The Stocks you have will...

    One solution to end this.... For Sale By Owner...No Commission paid! Have a lawyer do the paperwork for you for a couple hundred bucks., or get the documents on-line. I did that myself on my house transaction.

    Take your profits....NOW! There will alway be another trade to start up again once you bank this one. When ever the market gives you a profit, take it. You should have already set a profit target for when you would exit before you entered the trade.
