<p>I think that statement sums up the present not the future. I do not think a rate cut will do much to affect the next leg down what ever distance that is. He has lost control and foreign markets have shown that. I understand that foreign markets are indicating something much worse than a 200...

Coaches and managers call team meetings when things are going bad, the smartest coaches and managers call them when the schedule is in their favor and gives appearance that it was the team meeting that turned the team around. The best time for an emergency cut is before the market opens and when...

I think what makes this situation difficult to analyze is, that foreign money is buying our debt, supporting our markets, and even oil money is trying to rescue the financials. What could send this market down further is not within our shores or borders. That is what makes the selloff we have...

Bernanke is in a position much like Barney Fife. He is only carrying around one bullet for his gun. If he fires that bullet and it does not hit the mark, then Barney finds himself in the same situation as when Toto pulled the curtain to find no Wizard.

I hit refresh on this thread and somehow it reposted an earlier comment. I am not sure how that happened.

Before I started trading for a living, I had a stock go down 13k on me from close to open. Maybe, because I was not trading for living, I took it better than him. I certainly learned from it. You have to be prepared for the market to go against you and to trade for a living you have be...

Foreign money has bought our debt and supported our markets. Oil money has come in to keep the financial stocks from sinking and failed miserably. The fed can throw a hundred basis point cut at the market, but I gotta believe the money that moves markets will look at any relief that cut might...

<cite>A picture says a thousand words. </cite><p>This is true. And if you put together a few pictures like you have posted, it is not so difficult to get a glimpse of an even bigger picture.

This is a political event crisis. Election years are usually stable with at least a little uptrend. The market has little confidence in the current leadership, nor the current set of candidates nor the incredible shrinking little bearded guy. And the lack of confidence goes well beyond our...

On the 9th of August of last year, the futures were down 28.60 at the open. I do not have a record, only my memory of what they were down at the open after closing for days because of 9/11. But I believe it was less than that and around a -25 points.

<p>The question here is, what is the future of Brick and Mortar electronics store. Electronics is no longer a retail niche. Every retailer, it seems is looking to get into electronics. I think the consumer is going to keep buying electronics, but where and how they buy it is the question. Office...

I think the problem may have been the business plan. The CNBC pie is not a very big piece of pie to start with. 300k viewers does not seem like a lot to fight over even though the advertising revenue may be worth fighting over because of the demographics of the viewers. I think Fox thought that...

<p>The management of C has been the pits. If they have a postive story, they have not been able to tell it. Personally, I like JPM better than C. As a daytrader, I am not yet ready to buy the dips, but I am prepared to pick my spots and short the rallies but not on C. As I posted on another...

I do not own an Apple IMac but I think the design of most Apple products are elegant. I had an Apple Color Classic which I thought was cool looking. I sold it for half of what I paid for it six years later to someone in Japan where there was almost a cult in rebuilding the Color Classic box. I...

<p>Although I have invested and traded in many ways, today I am but a very humble day trader. And I have no evidence other than that observation in my post, to believe the long term trend in the financials is anything but down. But as a trader you always have to be prepared for anything. People...

My time frame is not such that I spend much time analyzing long term technicals. But I have been around long enough, not to discount or not to fight them. I read the first three trading days of the year as a fairly logical occurence. The VERY VERY large holders of stock had a lot to gain by...

<cite>why are traders ugly and fat? </cite><p>To that question, I must offer an indignant response once uttered by Curly Howard, "I resemble that remark!"

Is there any special techniques you do to trade opens?...I do not understand why i will sometimes see T open down 60 cents....then i overthink it and before you know it ,T has bounced 50cents....That is some nice money i am missing out on.I would like to know how to trade opens.Is it just pure...

<p>KO will not track the Dow so much, it is a DEFENSIVE stock, chances are it may be green when most are red or may be the last stock to dive in triple digit dow loss. KO may a good short when the rest of the market gets fluffy. Trying to track the Dow is now very difficult with the financials...
