I see your point but why are you so negative? It seems you don't even believe in yourself and are angry towards anyone who does believe in 'something'. I believe the world would be a far worse place if everyone acted like you do. Did they treat you that badly? Ursa..

Sorry, did I miss something? I didn't see a rally, certainly not a huge one. What I saw was a DOW that, despite a jubilant crowd couldn't even take out the 14000, and in the end rally didn't even reach the previous high spike. All this on very reluctant volume too. Either there were good...

I agree, his is a misnomer. If he would really trade, instead of on paper, he wouldn't act and speak like this.

Besides the rising demand the price of oil goes up because it is denominated in $$'s. I think oil trades themselves are already done in local currencies or EUR or GBP. In a year or 2 the big producers will not accept US $'s for their oil. When that happens the US$ will become worthless as a...

Too bad the actual problems didn't go away too.

Just like it's your job to buy and never sell?

For those tuning in late, a good resume of current standoff in the WP http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/30/AR2007103002092.html?hpid=moreheadlines

Interesting. Under normal circumstances I would expect a complete inflate of the VIX after the numbers, but you could be right; VIX is still reasonably low and it seems there are a lot of ppl expecting the expected (no typo). Good luck.

Won't be long and producers will want to be payed in EUR's or anything but $$'s. See what happens then to gas-prices: dollar will be dumped and worthless and the price of oil payed in dollars will be around 400. I think there will be no dollar anymore by that time. And no buyers for your...

More than half of it is tax, so that money is economically 'neutral'. Doubling prices will always affect the economy. The longer it doesn't the deeper the fall when it does.

But, the way you think you'll have lost 75% of your (paper) profits before recognizing the bear. When will you sell?

I think he meant: what is your point? Are there better alternatives? etc etc... Maybe he assumed you actually wanted to emit some knowledge, yeah I know.... Ursa..

So did you ever sell your holdings due to some unfavorable change?

Uhm, I thought Linksys == Cisco

Name an example please?

Finally some substance. Ok, how will US producers compete when oil prices double? Remember that for producers in EUR, and for the Asians too, oil-prices are not substantially higher, since they revenue in more valuable curency. So, although a lower dollar normally stimulates export for the...

Not true, the first is real, the scond is a papertrade

Good question and while at it, maybe some good reasons to go long too. Always dismissing the shorts as being to pessimistic, did it ever occur that a long is maybe too optimistic? The reasoning should hold both ways. I'm neither bear nor bull in my trading, but I don't see any reason to be long...

Correct, and for the record, the condition doesn't have to be related to the underlying, it can be based on anything quotable.

Haha, funny. But it was a colossal mistake that they didn't steal QT before A-trade did it. Would've been an unbeatable combo. Ursa..
