For that matter, I'm surprised no one (yet) seconded your comment. Not sure 'bout that OTB thing -- maybe he'll just steal the deuce for the double -- but you're correct that it increases the chance of that outcome.

Giving credit where credit is due, here's Mr. Forbes' spot-on reporting of the sheep shearing -- yesterday's & today's opening act in particular: There was a time when Stephen Schwarzman, chief executive of Blackstone Group, would globe-trot, lecturing people on the benefits of running a...

BUMPED due to accuracy.

You're kidding, right? That call was a lifetime ago, and correct, I'll add. AUS promptly moved a cent+ south. Like artillery, it's no good to be on target if you aren't on time. On time and on target, that's the thing.

Some early confirmation of this morning's post, above, in today's price action in financials. Watch tonight's action in mining shares BHP and Rio Tinto. Oh yea, add this post mortem on today's action. a startling bit of timing I might add: June 25 (Bloomberg) -- Financial shares tumbled...

I'm surprised Cramer shared the stage with the kid. The Kid outperforms Cramer and is angling for Cramer's demographics.

Geez, thanks for straightening me out on that one. Guess I've been confused all along, mistaking this Blackstone thing for a correlative and signal for more general price action (i.e., an index), as in this post of mine February this year: "How about some of the private equity deals being...

Let me guess, 'bout now, those Blackstone buyers are lovin that risk free money.

For me, it's not a black swan expectation, merely an informed guess that I can buy a stock trading at 100 today for 80 within nine months to a year, without it first trading at a level (say, 120) which would melt my account and resolve.

Thus far, from two Tuesdays ago, I have legged in short positions in these equity spaces: mining, gaming (Vegas exposure versus other), and pharma. Last puzzle pieces to be added this week, in financial services. No retail, auto, energy, or transportation. I’d be interested to hear from...

So far so good on triggers pulled since Tuesday last week, date of post shown below. Here's the status report thus far: June 22 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks plunged, capping the Dow Jones Industrial Average's worst week since early March, as concern intensified banks will be saddled with...

riskarb is the ET member whose view you need if you're looking to get into forex options. I would guess -- purely a guess because I have not traded options of any kind for over 20 years --that the difficulty of trading OTC options in forex is at least one order greater than trading forex cash...

Yea, and that husband has defied another norm: he started working at Dennys before he and his wife got into trading.

It's funny: everyone is watching the same price action, yet each sees what he wants to see and believes what he wants to believe. I posted the below one week ago in another thread this forum, expressing my expectation for profitable short trades, and I'm satisified with it, nothing this week...

I give FXCM credit for supporting ET as an advertiser, which indirectly benefits me because I have personally profited from information on the board. I give it credit, too, for staying around even as ET members blast its practices. It's not running, in other words. But my basic understanding...

I'd say fall in JGBs shows that everybody realizes it.

What'll the 3 days starting yesterday look like in 3 months, and the 3 weeks starting this week look like in 30 weeks to one year? That's the only picture that means anything to me. That I may have to pay some to wait for it is fine by me. I expect to.

Yours is the more profitable proposal, of course, but I don't qualify to own or manage a FX retailer. I don't know how to program a stop-hunting algorithm. Now, if you make it where there was just a dial I could turn, say at settings like "spikey stop hunt," "robust hunt," and "New Benz for...

I may have one too. Didn't bother opening it, but because I receive so few PMs, I assume it's what you mention. (Genius, alas, is a solitary condition.) This is what I say: rather than give our insight to a competing board, why not create a Kathy & Boris knockoff, charge money for it, and...

I'll take Gross' view of bonds almost any time, more so now in light of my own opinion that this equity market is highly fragile -- a condition produced by trends and factors far longer and of much older vintage than many of you likely have in mind. I've been waiting to pull the trigger on...
