Really? It only took you 7000+ Dow points to figure that out? Does this mean you're finally bearish?

I'd definitely say that Filter Sweep's answer puts him at the head of the class, with a star on his calendar for the day. :D

Those short sellers have plenty of cap gains, so they shouldn't have to pay taxes on profits from driving the market down. :eek: :D

That'd be a grand idea, but I don't see any way that'll come from Obama/Reid/Pelosi. They're only interested in taxing those who create jobs, not reducing taxes on those who invest in this country. They want the government to create those jobs (which requires more taxes to feed the beast).

I'll bet lobbying from the hedge funds had something to do with it! So they could profit at the expense of the rest of America's retirement accounts. The other complete screw-up by the SEC was the lack of enforcement of the law against naked shorting.

Good possibility.....the other arrow left is to bring back the uptick rule.

Sounds like a clear violation of the "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" rule!!

If all you can do is continue to post every bad economic news story you can find, at least post current and accurate articles, not recycled drivel. This article must be at least 10 days old, since it says the Senate is still "considering" the $800 billion stimulus bill which Obama signed into...

Thanks AMT. :) I was wondering if it was something like Market Delta.

AMT - your calls are impressive indeed......probably the most accurate anywhere on ET. I have to admit, initially I was skeptical. So how do you know where these pockets of inventory are? Would you mind sharing what you are using to figure these areas out?

Oh, come now.....did you really think the thread would last long without any sarcasm? Your arrogance in posts on other people's threads certainly invites it. Besides, the caffeine comment was quite benign. Arrogant or not, you've got my respect since you called the bottom on that day last...

Isn't it time to reinstate the uptick rule for shorts?

Done!

Indicators are virtually worthless. Just about every system I've bought and traded based on indicators didn't perform as promoted (without some degree of discretion/judgment involved). If you're interested in scalping the e-minis, here are some truths, and the necessary conclusion: - The...

Here's something I don't understand. The "Commercials" are dominated by the trading desks of the large banks, right? These are the banks which have received hundreds of $billions from the taxpayers. And the Commercials are heavy net short on the market. So these banks are using the...

I'm starting to come around to the notion that Stock_Trad3r is actually a master satirist, and everyone that rips him a new one (and they are legion) after each of his apparently bullish calls falls right into his trap by just not getting his humor.

nkhoi - what is this? A tide chart?

Sure looks like him. The Chuck Hays in the book was also from Minneapolis. This is really pathetic. His style of trading (as described in the book) was the most interesting to me. I'm curious if the book authors did any due diligence to verify that he actually was ever a successful trader...

The Senators know where their bread is buttered (hence the talk about MTM being removed when the final bill is done). Any wacko can get elected to the House (Maxine Waters comes to mind).

Touche' Yes, you and your thread are a waste of time. Thanks for the clarification.
