ALJ, NTI, (THINKNG ABOUT WETF after Citibank's "Double Downgrade!" We have lots of bargains, I thought of selling my MSFT Jan $41s (100 contracts at almost $4.00), I still see Mr. Softy at $47 even when the selling began and Aprils. There are so many good stocks gone bad but we all know this...

How did you like today's 619 point jump? Were back to the ways of 2000-2002 when the Market would make this type of wild jumps and you had to prepare yourself well. During the downturn in 2002 I watched some buying S&P 500 Calls in a massive way, he made so much coin, while SP500 and QQQQ were...

You notice the Specialist use to take a more active role buying stocks and trying to create a balanced Open from all those Market Orders received. I read a paper on the Tyco story, much bigger than this one, those Specialist had balls back than and now they run from any form of risk, they are...

I forgot I read this story back in 1999, might see a few of my posts here. This is the story I was looking for about the Specialist and ECN debate on Silicon Investor Message Board, only part of the story. "Electronic Trading Threatens Big Board, `Specialists' Corso swaps the coat of his...

I thought we use to have more depth in big stocks at each price point, not falling $5 or $20 on 10,000 or 50,000 share like Apple did right before the Open! Maybe I don't fully remember how there was nobody to buy your shares back when I was still a kid. The Market Makers who refused to pick...

That's a scary thought, what is giving you this type of negative vibe? Was it almost fourteen years ago in September I turned on my computer at 6:00 and the Stock Market was frozen, being on the West Coast I envy that you don't have to wake up at 4:00 AM if you want to trade extra-extra...

Trading was interesting today, you could feel how forced this rally was. When the most powerful stocks are ready to fall like HAS, TJX, MSFT, CAG, EXR, SPG, TSN, HRL, POST, K, GIS, LEN, RYL, and many others you know we are probably going to sink more until we get a good washout. Swapped my...

Your playing tight spreads Garret, very stubborn stock like GMCR and MCD. I covered GMCR quick after smashing it on the long-run. The next two trades on GMCR, one lost $.20 and the other made $1.10. Nothing compared to all those Puts I rolled up since the $130 range. Today's Market action is...

He is not playing with pennies, every Brokerage I've traded "Naked Puts" in I had to have $300k min equity, he's either full of %$#$ or clearly messed up! Weird!

Can you tell us what happened? I spent time looking over this option trying to see your price you got. Those options should have been $2500 each, right?

I bought some of his Calls he sold at $1.40, I bought 300 contracts and made a little off them after a few days, what is the reason to smash the bid like that? His selling was greater than the Open Interest at the time, what can someone infer? If anyone can help me understand this I would...

Xandman I was in CAG when someone started hitting the bid, they were hitting the bid at $1.65 x $1.80, size was 1500x1500 and someone keeps pounding the bid. It was the $43 Calls and soon they have sold 15,000 calls taking the bid from $1.65 down to $1.40 still smashing the Bid until the Bid is...

Why was I looking at Blackrock Kelso income fund? Your trade looks great, please forgive my ignorance and not looking at the big picture. You made a Hell of a Trade, enjoy those profits because there is no logical reason their going to take that from you. The only reason why this ETF jumped...

Well I think that answers your question, sorry about that! NYSE allowed their stocks to open before finding equilibrium, 'ah the good old days of waiting twenty minutes to two hours for the Specialist at SPLK to figure out where to open up a stock. It's not the first time a stock has been...

You see those Sept $85s at $15.50, that's Citadel doing their job correctly! Please watch your orders or they will scalp you, also it's a great time to try to slam and dunk, shorting the Stock and buying Puts at deep discounts like this is how I use to make free money until the HFTS Boys robbed...

I changed my order on my Facebook Puts ten times before the Market Open. I put my Options on the Sept 18, 2015 $85 Puts at $8.00 and adjusted them all the way to the Open. If I had kept them at $8 they would have gotten filled there because some options were opening sooner than others. If you...

How have low interest rates benefited seniors who had their money parked in banks or money-market funds? How have low-prices benefits first-time home buyers? Boosting housing asset twice or three times its natural worth because i-rates are at 0 percent? The transfer of wealth from the...

Every-time we share any stories people attack us, what's the use? To be respectful to the OP, its very hard to open up when there are people here who will attack honest members telling you the truth. Why is that, are they jealous that there are some people like MS who can make money consistently...

I don't think the Public is smart enough to figure out they got ripped off! Many posted here that QE was a joke, holding rates down only benefited companies wanting to enrich shareholders(not a bad idea if its fair, Adam Smith attacked cheaters!) and corporate executives. Bill Gross has been...

Funny you mentioned CMG, every day I churn it and enjoy it like I love their food after another incredible blowout earnings($850 by year end with AZO?) To topic, your right and I can't dispute the fact there are limits we all have and if given enough rope we will hang ourselves unless we can...
