It seems like no one here has read "trading with the enemy." The book divulges all of cramer's operations; front running, getting inside tips from analysts and kicking back in the form of hefty commissions, to getting stories before they are published and front running them. The book was...

"I'll probably get some heckles here, but be careful about shorts. Friday is OE and QQQQ max pain still 43. I've seen them perfrom miracles two days into OE." You too shall believe

Anyone see the wierd 3.5 mil share volume spike on QQQQ? It was way after inflation report, and it kept jumping discreetly all over the place... 1st up ~10c then down 5c ... major program trading battle or something?:confused:

" Quote from Cesko: One of the functions of free market is removal of money from weak hands by strong hands. It's healthy for society as a whole. Details?.........After the 90's, and the market crash, countless numbers of day traders lost everything. No money, and...

wow, I never knew she was larry williams daughter. I remember reading in one of his trading books ('Long term trends...") and how he and his daughter made killings. I'm confused now. He wrote it in 1999, but it says they haven't talked for years. In the book he said, "last year, my daughter...

The QID didn't look so hot tonight. With this much momentum and only 2 days to go it's (D-2 to MP) looking more and more like the +5% scenario of the last 7 months. Never underestimate the power of miracles (and an infinite printing press) over net aggregate pessimism 3 days into OE.

"dtrader: you should indeed look further back than last 7 months for your max pain theory. The prior 7 months were an almost unprecedented bull run with miniscule pullbacks so not surprised that max pain would be exceeded by 5% each time" Good pt. looking back over a year, it did indeed tend...

added a slight bit of leg work here (~past 7 months) for QQQQ max pain. The variance is pretty wide for the 3 day target and actual closing on OE day. While the range is up to 5% difference of 3 days before OE, all (but one ~0%) prior cases had prices RISE between 0-5% above prior max pain...

I'll probably get some heckles here, but be careful about shorts. Friday is OE and QQQQ max pain still 43. I've seen them perfrom miracles two days into OE. I heard some people say they've back tested max pain and it had no good results. While I haven't run long backtests on that, I have...

"as well as mainstream finance publications like barrons" About 2 weeks ago barrons had a cover saying they were finally throwing in the towel and seeing compelling reasons to be bullish. That was like hell freezing over to me. Extreme contrarian indicator?

sung to the tune of the kid is hot tonight ... How do you like him so far? How do you like his show? How do you like the way he rocks and the way he rolls? The Qid is hot tonight Whoa so hot tonight But where will he be tomorrow The Qid is hot tonight Whoa so hot tonight But where...

"That is still very far aways from Jimmy Carter's 12% unemployment rate. " er.. ~12% unemployment rate occured under Reagan's watch. Prior to that, peak unemployment was ~9.0% under Ford. Unemployment dipped to a trough at ~6% under Carter's watch. Interesting how the mind's bias...

Anyone notice on LII that QLD has a horrible bid/ask spread (like 10c), while the QID has a great tight bid/ask right at the price. Does this say something about the market (QID more liquid because shorts more active)? It doesn't make QLD very enticing to see that great gap there. Or is my...

looking like gap and crap day. Downtrend to resume shortly IMHO.

Looking back at my past trades, it seems that I always hesitate to take losses because of the nagging thought of wash sale rules. I don't know if this is masking the psychological resistance to take a loss, or if it's just purely due to w.s. concerns. Do other traders worry about this at all...

Pretty interesting reading all the comments. Seems kind of ironic to have better profit off intraday scalping. But, I have been more profitable lately doing that as well. I like the comment about not being subject to gaps. Seems much easier to predict intraday movement, then the following...

Can't help but think how all of this reminds me of daybreak, the series. Hopper is like Aguirre. You can watch the whole series on abc for free!

One of the best conclusions i have seen in response to P/E arguements, is that P/E is one dimensional. I.e. P/E in 70s may have different bond/interest/inflation conditions than 2000s, although both look the same. When shiller makes the P/E argument, I don't see him taking into account the...

Interesting, thanks. Saved me some trouble.
