    Aren't we due for a little crash?

    That makes sense to me, and I'd really like to see a 10% dip here. But they don't quite follow the same rules. Look at the dow and SLV last year in may when the market dropped. If you bought the dip in june, you were sunk if you didn't sell by mid july. But SLV rode it out for another month...

    my trading is s**t lately!!!

    The warnings are usually always there. Even if over-extension, or a smooth run was your only warning- you were warned! IMO OP- I like to see the market come down, I just hate to see good traders get shredded. Stay in the game- but stay disciplined. If you have a good stock, buy more when it...

    Aren't we due for a little crash?

    The market has been up for 11 of the past 12 months, and it's been down for the last 4 out of 5 days. I hate to be a doom and gloomer, but just seems like it's due for a check. I'm trimming or closing out many of my one year high positions like DTV, DFS, KFT, etc. etc. and going heavy on...

    my trading is s**t lately!!!

    I doubt I could ever explain it, but maybe it went up to take a breath before it heads under water for awhile. The bulls seem a little nervous, and the bears who are stalking the tree lines smell blood. I say to the bulls, be careful. And to the bears- fuck off.

    Would This Scenario be Considered a Day Trade?

    I disagree with the restrictions to begin with, but it seems absurd to consider it a day trade when a trader sells just a few of the shares he has stockpiled throughout the weeks or months, or years- just because he happened to buy a few shares earlier in the day. Is it really that different...

    Would This Scenario be Considered a Day Trade?

    Here's what my brokerage said about it: "If you buy 10 shares of XYZ on Monday and another 10 shares of XYZ on Tuesday, the sale on Tuesday would be considered a round trip day trade. The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) require all...

    Would This Scenario be Considered a Day Trade?

    could anyone point to where i might find the answer? Could or should I call the SEC? It seems like this would be a fairly common conundrum.

    Would This Scenario be Considered a Day Trade?

    Let's say I buy 10 shares of XYZ on Monday, and then buy 10 more shares of the same stock on Tuesday morning. If I then sell 10 shares of XYZ on Tuesday afternoon, would they consider it to be a day trade? My logic tells me that the sale would be attributed to the 10 shares I had bought on...

    This is a manipulated bull market, how long can it last?

    I believe this manipulated bull market could last for another 100 years or so...with a few dips along the way . Now try to imagine a bear market lasting that long. It is possible, but most of us would starve long before the big turn around.

    Can I "roll over" my Options contract month over month?

    "m afraid that if I buy too cheap, just for the higher profits sake, then could I get caught with my pants down, and the stock just wont have time to recover. If I'm forced to roll-out when i'm under water, it will cost a much higher premium than if I simply buy myself time now, while the...

    Can I "roll over" my Options contract month over month?

    "A big question I have is, What are my biggest risks of buying the MAR13 calls? The only risk I can really come up with is not getting stellar profits, i.e. 200-400% returns." Oh yeah and the fact that gold could drop 20% and I could lose most or all of my money. I don't see it though...

    Is there any way to short the Romney Campaign?

    My uncle told me when I was a small boy, that if there was one thing I could bank on in life it's this: "People who are older, generally know better than you." It may be the only advice he gave me that I still take with me today at the ripe old age of 38. Not every one is as lucky to...

    Can I "roll over" my Options contract month over month?

    "maybe your better off with a buy write strategy instead of thinking your going to get some blow off top kind of profit on some straight premium purchase... think about this whats the difference between putting up trades that have a 3 to 1.. or 5 to 1 payout percent gain and rolling them out...

    Is there any way to short the Romney Campaign?

    Good call....lose lips can definitely sink ships. c'mon yall- we're in this together. Lets face it, Forbes' top 5 CEO's probably couldn't get a handle on this wobbly train that the Roosevelt administration handed us- back when Republicrats wasn't even a concept. The only reason I think...

    Can I "roll over" my Options contract month over month?

    These are great questions I had to ask myself. The wave I'm wanting to ride is gold spdr (GLD) etf's. I believe its future looks good, but am willing to consider any advice here. The biggest question I've been having is- well maybe it's easier to explain my dilema.... I would like to...
