geez, I just sold CAT at 83, bought this morning at 79.50. Unfortunately, only 100 shares. My investment account. Can't take 1.25 points heat in my trading account (low was 78.26) sorry for the OT.

Dead CAT bounce? I drew this channel a couple of days ago and was surprised to see that it actually was touched this morning.

thanks guys! :)

who got you? Didn't you get short at 1555.50 with a buy stop at 1557.00 ? (1.5 pts) High print into the close was 1556.75, no? I am cornfused!! :confused: :p

wave, I am not following you. Were you buying the 1550 / 1551 area this morning? The low of 1542.50 came later. My stops are much tighter than that.

Maybe you can answer this question I have. I didn't want to run an experiment to find the answer. If the market is 1547.25 bid 1547.50 offer and you enter an order to sell at 1545.25, won't you get filled at the market? ie 1547.25, an d not at the lower price that you entered?

oh, boy, another great October, just like 20 years ago? and why would he mention October in July? :confused:

I can't believe this lady on CNBC said she had seen the embargoed NAHB housing market index report (to be released at 1pm) and that it was "significant" :eek: Let's see.... this year's numbers were, starting with Dec 06, 32 35 40 Feb 36 33 30 28 clearly trending down since...

The brief (if you blinked you missed it) 14k print on the Dow looks like it was used as a sell signal.

spectre2007, I 'm not sure I understand these orders. Are they designed to capture a series of one point profits? Are you entering a trade with a stop order and taking 1 point profit? What about slippage? thnx

timeframe?

1559 Thursday pm is close enough for me. Consider this forecast met! My internet was out until noon today!! (going to bag comcast and try verizon dsl). Played a round of golf.

He wants to be a rapper: The Benber rap: The inclination of formation of inflation expectation, with information and implication for communication consideration and formation of inflation expectaion..... yo

It must be very hard to say "inflation expectations" 5 times really fast. :D Harder still, "consideration of implications of inflation expectations." he continues... "communication consideration implication inflation expectation" he just threw in "explanation" someone needs to do...

nice trade O ! I like the way you stuck with your plan, got stopped out and jumped right back in. Something for me to emulate. :)

Wayne, who do they buy the puts from to do the conversion? They might as well just buy the calls back. I am guessing they typically use a delta hedge which works fine in most cases and can be adjusted in most cases.... except when the stock gaps due to a buyout or some other major news, in...

it is.... routinely leaked. I was looking at prenumber price action, but I may have been headfaked on this one.

Looks like a weakish Chicago purchasing mgrs number.

What is the news today? (+1.3 = + 11%) I see USAT was added to the russell microcap index on Friday, but that should be old news.

I am troubled by the stories suggesting the Fed will mention in their statement that they will be looking at headline inflation rather than core inflation. If a reporter dreamed up that idea then it is stupid to report it. If they were leaked the information, then the Fed officials should...
