Right. I too would turn down $100M. :-\ You may want to be careful shorting MMM because a good CEO announcement will reverse price action. Forget about fundamentals or the rate crunch. I faded in 3 lots short of QQQQ and covered for a whopping +0.28 I'm on fire.

They need a CEO.

Question. MMM. what do you think about a bottom range setup if it cannot break to new lows? thanks.

Nice dump. Testing the open. Good trade so far. EDIT: excellent GOOG trade--i believe in the short term it was smart to take the open number and close it out. that OPTION traded at $35 once. if i knew that i could sell a put for $35 on GOOG .......sheesh EDIT: i have blinders on this...

True. i think that is the safe bet. volatility on this last spike down in GOOG was drying out which signaled to get long. it is increasing steadily and GOOG could test a regression area of $301.5 successfully. we don't want to be short as it is happening ... we want to be cash heavy for this...

i'm pulling them up, the options on GOOG. i want to see you manage this trade. should be a good lesson. thanks. i was kidding about the hairline. :) EDIT: i think maestro has his hands full today with the merger deal.

GOOG...which month ? what'd they cost you?(other then your hairline)lol i went long XLE again, much better results this time around :)

i am long XLE EDIT: should've taken a crap instead. out XLE for a loss. EDIT: no performance this week out of me, my mind isn't in it. i should've listened to my plan to do nothing. i made a great trade (LYO short) and did not hold it. and, i made a poor trade (XLE long) after that one...

hmmm.... MAESTRO should be selling LYO Aug. 30 calls; they are only up 400%. nice action so far, but a chems company that hedges growth and earnings is bound to attract sellers no matter how much they can capitalize on this new proposal offer. it would pay to short this price action in the...

Hello. for newer traders.... please look over MON for a lesson in management risk and timing. you'll need to go back to early June and look over price action, volume, and company news/outlook/guidance to see how management played this quarters event and how maybe in the future you can...

Well, that's good to know. Is there any success in trading b/w the two instruments in a risk arb. formula? You may have success with those figures but i imagine one would use more leverage. FYI... I'll never retire from trading, ever. I think you and i both took a break around that time...

How many ES contracts? EDIT: crude will pull up, you'll be selling ES all afternoon tomorrow. be ready. EDIT: weak participation when looking deeper into A/D issues and volume at NYSE. AMEX, oil heavy, was getting consistent selling pressure. weak at best, these movements. but, anything...

It is what it is. I have adapted. But, this week and next i plan to do less then nothing. Call me a weak hand but i think this country and the weekend festivities are blazing targets. I have been preparing for this time and do not plan to discount my reasoning at this juncture. As a...

Thank You. Please, take care. Always another one :)

Hello. STJ (STJHI) Aug. 45 calls are getting juicy.

Only idiots listen to lawyers when looking at real estate. Smart money tells lawyers what to do, not the other way around. Perhaps i should ask my mechanic what he thinks of my earnings in the market and the trades i will make in the future. The reason why people who make a living at...

I am sorry to hear someone received a speech impediment by reading this garbage'. lol alex

What about those oil puts? Light, Sweet E-miNY august ? or the big one? Thanks. alex EDIT: i'm looking at AA puts. we've had 6 down days with today being the heavier volume day. there is evidence that this fall is eroding according to indicators, PRICE ACTION, VOLUME, reading tape...

Not that i am aware of. I wish you well. For me, this is all that i do now--trading. So my approach demands respect for the business of trading and every marketplace(except nasdaq--lol). My intent was/is to point out that you may want to know how to make rules first before you make them and...

Why you would make rules at this early stage in your education is beyond my comprehension. Know your playing field. Nasdaq is a sham. The barriers to entry for this marketplace are low. If you intend to use your $60,000 as a tool for you to educate yourself by trading live in the market then...
