    Rumor this afternoon 03-19-08 Suprise Rate Cut

    SWEET I just talked the FED into selling me my own money printing press complete with all the paper and ink needed to print my own money. Only problem is they are sending it via USPS so no idea when or if I will actually get it. :(

    stock market is gone!

    You do realize that if you look long term like on a 5yr 1month chart very few of the equities or indicies have broken a 50 period SMA yet and almost none have broken the 200 SMA?

    What's better to sell naked a call or a put?

    Why take the risk? Why not use a spread instead? Bullish - Long Call Spread Bearish - Long Put Spread Neutral - Calendar Spread (calls or puts)

    I Wish Paulson Would Drop Dead

    They really should add "None of the Above" to the presidential ballot. That would force both parties to come up with new Candidates.

    Does Visa Hit The Market for Trading Tomorrow?

    For some reason my chart for V isn't working right. It's showing a flat line but highlighting a bar shows all the correct data in it. This is the ToS platform.

    Does Visa Hit The Market for Trading Tomorrow?

    I bet VISA execs are sitting around scratching their heads asking "WTF?!? Why isn't anyone buying our stock?"

    The United States is Finished!

    I edited the quote to only leave the parts that were relevant. The 9/11 attacks took several years to plan and implement. Since Bush had only been in office for 9 months when the attack happened, guess who was in office when it all started. Not to mention how would ANY president have...

    The United States is Finished!

    So let me get this straight, it sounds like you are saying: 1. Bush forced all the American companies to outsource to foreign countries. 2. Bush somehow magically took control of the commodities market and made oil skyrocket or perhaps you are suggesting that Bush has powers over nature...

    talking suicide at BSC yahoo boards

    I am reminded of an old saying: Everytime someone makes something idiot proof they always build a better idiot. In short, yes, there are people out there that stupid.

    Congratulate me! Or not...

    The unfortunate truth is brokers are only required to return you money after clearing within 3 days and usually they purposefully keep it for that 3 days. The reason is that they can trade with your money for those 3 days free and clear of interest, then give it back to you afterwards. Oh and...

    Question about stops

    Oh and one more quick thing. Several times you mention using a OCO to enter your trade. I think you have your terminology wrong. OCO is "One Cancels Other". This means you are saying EITHER Fill the First order OR the second order but never both. You are wanting a OTO "One Triggers Other"...

    Question about stops

    IMHO it depends a bit on how long you plan on being in the market. If you plan on day trading then using ATR (Average True Range) of a 9-14 day period would give you a good idea of a stop point. If you plan on being in for a few days to a week or so then you are a swing trader and a good place...

    Democrats new tax plans will target traders and investors

    I was thinking the same thing until I read the last few words of the last paragraph that I quoted above: "...and by cracking down on overseas tax havens."

    Democrats new tax plans will target traders and investors

    Here is a snippet from the full article here: <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20080313/pl_bloomberg/are4y0wpjqxu">http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20080313/pl_bloomberg/are4y0wpjqxu</a> After reading this I don't think I want either one of them in office...

    What broker do you suggest ?

    I am not sure if Think or Swim offers the futures options you are looking for or not but I have heard they are planning on eventually offering everything. Also, everything is free with them other than commissions and they will price match that with other major brokers. The software is very nice...

    democrats will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

    Somehow I can't help but feel that in Hillary's case "Faith" is really her lesbian lover. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Seriously though I love when I hear people especially politicians wanting our troops home immediately. Bottom line is they can't. We still have civilians over...

    Paging Ben Bernanke

    Why do you think we don't need a strong dollar? Internal to the US a dollar is a dollar and superficially doesn't affect that much. What it does affect is the price American's and American companies pay for foreign goods. Things like oil, computer parts, clothing, sporting goods, and everything...
