This analysis seems weak. Technically we're not busting 1200 despite repeated attempts. Every reason to rally this week was refuted. Many stocks appear ready to sell off. I'm predicting a sell off within days back to 1140 or 1150. Risk reward on holding long on index is not good anymore. If...

That's a whole lot of rubbish given the fact that markets are not "zero sum" in any way. Why you do not understand this at all ? These kind of flawed ideas are what make ET pretty stupid sometimes. And you'll go on and on with your flawed theory, expanding on it at will, without ever...

One of the dumbest posts I've read on here. Markets are NOT zero sum, not in the slightest bit. Companies conduct business that earns profits which inflates the value of their business ( and in a properly valued market their stock value ). How on earth did you miss the boat so much on this...

Follow Up : It took 5 weeks for RIMM to rise $9.48 ( still at least $3.79 upside, may be an understatement ). Return 20.3% on stock, much higher return on options.

Some sectors in the US are close to fully valued short term so I see people rotating their money to a sector like technology which has been somewhat of a laggard. This I believe has already been occurring the last two months and will continue through Christmas. On the other side of the fence...

Shorting technology right now is a mistake its the strongest sector and has been for two months. TXN is actually still trending up, and the squeeze is on. I reiterate my $32 target by January at the latest. I recommend you cover your shorts in TXN on any market weakness. If you get lucky and...

11% estimated growth in earnings is "low balling" ??? Wow. Most companies would love that.

Ok, its time to post your real time position on TXN. Earnings tonight its stuck around $29. I'd like to see if you make money off this one and the method of choice ( ie option expiry choice and how you handle the spread ).

Buddy, do we need to go over your BIDU options again to explain to you the fallacy in your trading strategies ? You don't seem to have any awareness of risk. I don't see much of an edge in your trades but you made 60k on highly volatile call options on stocks that have run up a fair bit this...

A lot of stocks will end up close to their pinned price if they are slightly off it going into Friday. Those are the worst options to be holding on the option expiry day unless there is a huge catalyst to move the stock ( eg blowout earnings ). Even then the market might delay the stock move...

Here's what Bill Carrigan had to say on today's markets : "The problem for many investors and analysts is the error of hyper-focusing on the fiscal and monetary problems in the US. Investors are confused when the stock market is rising, and yet the performance of the underlying local economy...

It looks to me like he invested 65% of his remaining funds in high risk options positions on volatile stocks. Yes, he made 60K, but to me he is taking on huge risks to get those rewards. Hopefully he doesn't need the 250K because I can see where this is going. He's going to take his new...

FYI This is my only account ask the admins if you don't believe me. Secondly, some of you guys seem to attack any market move or idea with the slightest bit of bullish sentiment or even a balanced sentiment. For example, I am actually short today on several investments, and hoping for some...

You preach "patience" but you bought a triple bear ETF !!! Those triple weighted ETFs are a joke they just go down in value with all the rebalancing. Without a clear sustainable market direction you just can't buy those things. In terms of this ETF one week is an eternity.

The facts are you are clueless. The proof of this would be easy. Simply post the majority of your posts on this site where there is any "commentary" concerning market direction or value. Cross reference this list by the S&P 500 closing balance that day. Now note the sheer repetitiveness of...

I'm still thinking we get a minor pullback soon ( maybe late today even ). Technology will stay strong but I'm thinking any financials or commodities that are close to 52 week highs may pull back. The catalyst would be commodity prices and foreclosure worries. Potash situation could add fuel...

I can't fight your ignorance you need a better education and that will take years. Your whole premise about the market is wrong, but I'm sure you'll tell us all about it dozens of times regardless of news, earnings, market ups, market downs, etc etc.

Let's review. You call a "top" at 1165 and it goes above that "top". We have a minor corrective day back to 1165 and you declare your "top "(???) is a great call. Then the market goes to 1178 a full 1% the very next day. In other words, your "top" is a bust in one day. I happen to agree...

Go back and read the first post in the thread. There is a most definate call, I do wish you would be more careful before you post. Try thinking for a change before you post. S&P hitting 1200 means nothing, except the thread is over when it hits. S&P rallying from 1041 means something ( done...

I think the tech sector is undervalued in general ( I'm not talking APPL or IBM which have gone to all time highs ). I know you liked TXN short at $25.95 so $28 must seem like a huge bargain to you. Actually, that's pretty much right in the middle of the range I would put on the stock today (...
