I've been a lurker on Real Money for a few years, but decided to let my subscription lapse when it expires for a variety of reasons about the site that just annoy me despite the fact that I do find some of the site's columnists and commentators insightful and thought-provoking. That said, is...

RTA - it will be all CNBC documentaries now, seems they plussing up their doc-unit bigtime.

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnbc/cnbc_reports_goes_away_three_hours_of_docs_to_air_in_primetime_136221.asp?c=rss CNBC spokesperson Brian Steel tells TVNewser, Kneale will now be a part of "Power Lunch," Monday-Friday from Noon-2pmET. < - > "The quality was high," he added. "The...

I hear these Ultra ETFs are weird beasts to hold long-term...but I don't know enough about how these 2 or 3x ETFs (or their options) act as a result of the leverage to comment more intelligently, sorry. I'll let more knowledgable options traders chime in on the greeks and all but in general...

Same here. ProTA looks nice but they cling to mostly dial-up data access which is a non-starter for me. ToS desktop client is fine for me, though.

I have a long-term brokerage account with the US arm of a Swiss FSB up in NYC but rarely shift positions there because their commish was out-freaking-rageous -- I had a huge gain in some stock I inherited and sold last summer during a buyout for a nice profit. The commisssion on that sale...

That multiple moving average system is reminiscent of the Alligator "system" of trading. http://www.metaquotes.net/techanalysis/indicators/alligator I'm not saying yours is any better or worse, but on first glance that's what it reminded me of.

(full disclosure -- although pretty much avoiding everything else on CNBC-US, I do Tivo OA and watch it over coffee on Saturday morning...not for trading advice but rather as interesting food-for-thought.) That said, in a rare pro-CNBC comment here from me, I will say that thus far, Options...

ThinkorSwim does mandatory upgrades. No worries, though - I've yet to have problems with them, or ones they didn't fix quickly and proactively keep us informed.

Actually call it the "BACCAIG Black Hole" and it almost is pronounceable! :) That's 800 billion miles from the FRAMWIDE[1] Nebula that consists of dying stars unable to sustain their energy consumption. In related news, the Moziloff aliens were caught and properly prosecuted. ;)...

Yes that happens frequently -- folks get peeved @ one broker and others gun for their account via PM here. :) I've got to admit that compared to how other brokers handles software updates - in particular, the previews of new features/changes during their Wed chats - OEC is nowhere as...

Buy on a dip .... when the market has gone parabolic for 3 months straight and is grossly overbought? Riiiiiight. ...but then again, Cramer prolly sees this as the dawn of a new bull market, and that's reason enough to BUYBUYBUY. *shakes head*

Have you used this?? Interesting....

IIRC their first episode had a trader recommend selling GOOG puts before earnings.....given the audience of the show, I saw that as horribly irresponsible, much like CNBC in general these days. Thankfully that person, whomever he was, never came back on the show. While I don't take OA's...

I haven't flown in years but I used to earlier in life for recreation. Trading and flying, in my view, are quite similar. The best example I can say is that a pilot knows how to a) fly the plane (practically and in theory) and b) use the instruments to plot course and altitude. However, for...

XM Radio has CNBC audio, if you can deal with the annoying and horribly-produced ads XM runs during commercial breaks.

(sorry to hijack the thread, but it's kind of related to your main point about CNBC being bullshit artistry savante) Driving home last evening I heard Beaker on XM Radio. I'm firmly convinced that Kneale is CNBC's answer to Bill O'Reilly, Keith Olbermann, and Lou Dobbs. Loudmouthed opinion...

same as the ES 12.50

Buy BRK-B and forget about it. It's a cross-section of the market and better run than most index mutual funds anyway. :)

Yes in two cases - I bought DNDN calls as a spec in 2007 the week before Provenge hit the FDA and made a hell of a nice profit on that Mother of All Short Squeezes. No greeks, just a speculation play, pure and simple. I also sell puts on stock I want to own at a certain price, and don't...
