    Millions to lose Unemployment benefits over the next month!!!!!!!

    Wow I see even liberal traders fail at reading comprehension. Republicans are not blocking the bill because they don't want the unemployed to have any money, they are just wanting the money to come out of the unused stimulus slush fund instead of being added directly to our deficit. How is that...

    neither TA not FA?

    I am not sure what these people mean. To me FA has always been any data or information related to or affecting the company, country, or entity, behind the equity. So anything such as News, earnings, political cycles, seasonal considerations, weather, or any other type of information not...

    options and stk price movement

    You can't. Options have their own supply and demand independent of the underlying. With a delta of 1 it will be as close as possible to mirroring the actual stock but just because the stock then goes up a few cents doesn't mean people are going to pay more for the option. There are other...

    Wrong code ? Someone explain please...

    If he was smart he would have written the code to trade his personal account behind the scenes and then he wouldn't have ever had to worry about working again anyway. His company wouldn't even know it was doing this since it would not impact their accounts at all but he would have become...

    Why do you guys trade options?

    I am not real confident in a short of GTLS right now. Looking at the weekly chart below you can see it just broke above previously set highs to make a new 52week high and there is no obvious point of resistance (supply) above it until you get to the $45 level.

    Fed Chairman Bernanke estimated that QE2 may help create 700,000 jobs...

    Bernanke is a complete idiot, an utter moron and so is anyone that believes that any part of Keynesian economics will work. Austrian School of Economics is the way it all really works. http://mises.org/literature.aspx
