I like the chart. Looks like low downside risk from here. Since you traded WMT many years, What call options would you buy? I like to use leverage when the downside is minimal.

I say good riddance. If she can't put up with a little rudeness to learn trading, then she does'nt really want to be a trader. The market is a lot more rude than any one person can be.

You're long in bonds? any reason why. Just curious cause I've been short the 10 year note and plan on holding the position for couple more weeks. Are you long bonds because of the "fed won't raise rates" rumor being spread on the street?

Small correction in what will be a test of yearly highs and then higher. Long Tech. esp semis.

nothing new. Markets have been manipulated since their invention. Can't deal with greed and fear and unlimited opportunity to accumulate wealth then expect paricipants to act like pious monks. Who is the "govt" anyway? The govt. is no more than a collection of elite members of any society who...

I'm not denying that there is manipulation of the markets, however the coming rise in stocks this week will be due to crude prices dropping. Crude dropped further in European trading today (...

What a bunch of utter bullshit. This has nothing to do with black on white. The fed govt. had access to extensive simulations for years that showed the catastrophic nature of a levee breach. The facts are you have people dying in their attics because of an incompetent fed. govt. that just a few...

qdog, I understand you don't have price stop loss for your portfolio. I don't use stops in my longterm stock portfolio either (I don't daytrade stocks). But you may want to play with *time* stops. ie. if the price has'nt moved in your direction by X days/months you stop out. Then re-analyze the...

Crude closed with an inverted cup on the 10 minute. Usually bearish with volume . After labor day demand drops anyway, so highly probable we already topped.

Did a search on ET and I could not find the answer to the following: Do I check the Configure > Misc > Auto Future Rollover feature and wait for TWS to prompt me? I have a ZN short postion that I want to rollover. According to IB , short positions have to rollover 2 hours before...

Theory on Manipulation of the markets http://www.financialsense.com/Market/wood/2005/0826.html Observation of overt manipulation of the markets http://www.financialsense.com/editorials/murphy/2005/0831.html

Todays end of day price movement in stocks is either sign of extreme bullishness or manipulation. I covered all my short positions. I would'nt go short anytime soon, since my view is that the markets are being extensively manipulated. imo they're (whoever "they" are) afraid of foreigners...

I tend to agree with some of the posters who made an analogy to other disasters. Eg in the San Fran earthquake you never had roaming gangs of looters attacking each other and the police/rescures trying to save people. This is totally outrageous behavior and needs to be dealt with extreme...

The arabs probably having an orgasm every time gas prices shoot up. Hey, every increase means one more Harem. Someone somewhere is making a fistfull of $$. What's the scope of being a wildcatter? are there anymore small closed wells in west texas to start back up?

Among trend reversal signals, I like to look for shooting stars after a downtrend with the slow stochastic at oversold levels. It's a strong implication of Demand starting to come into the market. The larger the top tail of the star relative to the body, the better the probability of a short...

imho Smart Money exits early and flows elsewhere. It's the retail dumb money caught at the top that gets hurt. I suspect commodities and some foreign markets will rally after real estate collapses. Brazil and Japan will definitely see influx of funds. China related Hong Kong listings probably a...

High probability Fed will keep on increasing rates. Smaller increase maybe, but there will be an increase. Does'nt mean stocks can't go higher in the interim. Well more like couple weeks new chop zone.

10 year t-note shorts got a broom stick shoved up their you know what. Does'nt look like they can muster the firepower to pull out the stick. Btw, I enjoy reading your inside scoop of the bond pits. Very informative. Bonds look overbought right now, imo should see some profit taking next...

Been to New Orleans a few times. Some parts of town not much different than Haiti.
