The material really isn't that difficult; its the ridiculous grading curve that you have to deal with. Good job- Its funny how out of the several thousand pages in the curriculum, they spend about 10 pages on technical analysis, and basically disregard it as being completely useless.

So true, there were a few patriotic buyers in my family up until a couple years ago - they couldn't take it anymore. Its not worth being patriotic when everyone else's car lasts 100k miles longer than your pos american car.

Good point, but I think you mean european-exercise/cash-settled. Few things are more frustrating than having the index open on Friday against you and not being able to trade out of it. (Although you should probably get the hell out of a short positions way before that)

How about when the market goes down on good news, thats ok right?

Either that or "PPT did it", and markets SHOULD be lower:D

Don't forget about the Iran issue, this can escalate any second, rendering all TA completely useless.

If any of these companies new what the f the future held, their stocks wouldn't be down 60-90%

Excellent call Pekelo- Do you use the Williams %R or A/D? I saw the turn yesterday on %R only

This must be the sequel to the book "Greatest stock market rally since 1998", released in May 2008 by the same author. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=127438&highlight=market+rally+since+1998 Good fade though...

The government ordered enough to cover all elitetraders who do not make it through this bear market

You have to admit, those matchbox cars are much more energy efficient

max pain is 1280 for spy, 1250 for spx

so true...mods should create a ppt section for disgruntled shorts, so we can easily block anyone creating a thread there we've been going down/selling rallies for over a month

It is pretty common to get the first 100k within DAYS. Anything uninsured beyond that could take YEARS. http://www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits/insured/faq.html # How long does the FDIC take to pay insurance on deposits after an insured bank fails? Federal law requires the FDIC to make...

If rumors are are a self-fulfulling prophecy variety ie bear stearns: does that make it a false-rumor, a true-rumor, or a rumor that's possibly true turned into definitely true at a later time? How long do you wait before declaring a rumor true or false? What if you spread a rumor that you...

Common sense left, followed by manufacturing, useful jobs, companies/money/assets, etc. Who cares if people are smart enough to vote, look at the garbage that we have to choose from. Politicians don't even keep their promises once they are elected anyway - voting is overrated nowadays.

Ok so there is absolutely no point to this thread then. In the first few posts, you were implying that you had some kind of non-public info and therefore couldn't have a position. Now it seems like you have no position because you have no clue, or useful information. This is where the...

Quote from makloda: VIX here VIX there. Too many sheep watching it and waiting for a bell to be rung as a buy signal, it's been all over the news for weeks. Waste of time. I don't think that was the point he was trying to make....The point was a bottom could happen without VIX spiking up...

Haha, cmon if its on other message boards its got to be true. I'd estimate about 50% of posts on yahoo are rumours, followed by 49% profanity ridden babble.

So basically we can go up a lot or down a lot. How do you trade this? Are you short now? Stop? Target for upside? Serious questions. (Did you hold short during rally from 1250-1440? I'm sure this blasted most shorts out of the water)
