No, it went from 1104 to 1175 instead of the 1000 you predicted. So you "only" missed by 17% on a market index. Given that this is the theme of the thread, your horrible call, they should close it.

This is the only performance indicator we can rely on, how well trades like this worked out in reality. So I invite readers to pull up a chart of TXN and look carefully at September 23rd forward. Since then you have posted recommended shorts on TXN, APPL, GOOG, and miscellaneous other...

Having read your TXN ideas I think its inevitable you'll be telling us APPL is a good short at $340, $360, $380 but when queried you'll claim you make money intraday regardless. Seems to be the standard thing on here these days. Those who are gullible can buy short term PUTS on TXN based on...

Given your post that you are selling calls in such an instance, and the fact the stock gapped up the next trading day and has never looked back, you could not have avoided a huge haircut on this trade. There is no room for debate here, this is one of the instances where the stock gave you...

I see you are somewhat illiterate too. Who on earth goes around trying to correct people's posts on a site this and GET'S IT WRONG !!! Horse better is a valid variant of horse bettor; not that it matters I can just as easily mistype something as misspell it; but thank god you are around to make...

I have posted on his/her original short call a few weeks ago on TXN. The recent post suggesting they are involved in put options ( must be short term the longer term ones are very expensive for technology ) means they must be bleeding money right now which might explain the repeated short...

Ok, TXN is $28.72 now pretty much trending up the whole time. So your short is a loss of 11% if its stocks and probably 90%+ if its short term put options. Even taking a short the stock today I would say you will lose another 11% by end of year. Do you really want to take a 20% haircut before...

The P/E is 23 that doesn't seem like a bubble to me considering they've had upside surprises on recent earnings reports and very hot products right now. Apple action is more like the action Microsoft had when they came out with an operating system. The thing is if literally everyone is buying...

Terrible predictions; in particular TXN is a very strong stock right now and there exists a technical indicator putting a target of $31-$32 on the stock. You've been suggesting a short on this since $26. Technology is playing catch up right now its the LEAST likely segment to correct in...

Nonesense, you obviously don't understand what happened. Your trade is basically the same as a horse better putting a huge dollar amount on a 1-9 favorite to win. It may pay some small return most times but in the long run its a losing strategy. The fact that you don't understand its a losing...

Ok then I guess your trade was risking your financial health to make a small profit. I stand corrected. Do that enough times your black swan day will come. You call that risk management; I call it a dumb trade. The brutality of the thread starts with post #1, continues with your ridiculous...

Your calls in this thread are brutal; I'd almost expect the 22 points then except reality is its option expiry week ( minor sell off is usual now ) and the index rarely moves 22 points on one day. Imagine all the shit that has to happen now to get to 1000 as you predicted. Regardless of...

The rest of the world doesn't necessarily share the economic uncertainly of the US ( Britain, Spain, Greece perhaps ). For example, in Canada there is no need to print more money. The other day I saw a forecast the Canadian dollar will be worth $1.15 US by next year. The Canadian government has...

The market is way up since 1041 when myself and others noted it was a great time to buy technically. The fact that there are laggards like INTC is actually bullish. Buy INTC today at $19 and sell for $23 when it hits. That's 20% return on your money. It won't drop to $15, you can hold it for...

There are no shortage of really bad analysts out there who totally missed the boat on the market recovery. The whole idea of applying technical analysis on the Dow is a fallacy to begin with. The Dow doesn't follow technicals it simply reflects on an aggregate result of its components. The only...

Ok, let's review your trade. You've shorted the Dow numerous times at various levels starting at 10,100. So you've accumulated a fair bit of money in the trade and let's assume no margin call is in effect yet while you accumulate losses. If the Dow hits around 11,300 you are out with a hefty...

Intel's not really a growth company per say, and I don't follow it closely to truly make a decisive call on the firm. The point would be in today's economy, if we are to believe what we read from some on here, Intel's revenues and margins should be plummeting, and clearly they are not...

So you're going long then ? Or will you sit on your ass missing the next 10% ( or 50% ) upside because you are scared of the next great collapse ? Range bound years seem to confuse you easily. ps Did China really grow via asset bubbles ? Seems highly unlikely, but since you...

The fact that the author thinks there is such a thing as a "fake rally" ( whatever that supposably means ) tells part of the story.

INTC hit $24 earlier this year so for fairly risk adverse investors its not a bad play to try to make 20% return. Oh I know, there are people wanting to plunk their money on a money loser like Citigroup or RDN ( and risk all their capital in the process ), but Intel seems decent for a blue chip...
