    Did he actually say to "get out" or did he say to buy defensive issues??

    Have I just been lucky today?

    It seems you may have broken rule #14 of trading... never fall in love with a stock. I could be wrong, but, when your handle is the stock's name, it's usually a safe bet that you're married to your position. I could be way off on this but if not, maybe it will encourage you to re-evaluate your...

    I hope you're not short 10k with an average cost of 109.55! That would put you down $1 million on the trade so far :) 209.55?

    Craziest Stories On The Trading Floor

    Anyone remember "Bag of Bucks?" My first week on the foor (clerking) a guy walks into the pit with a duffle bag asking who was in. Four or five guys pulled out hundies and wrote their badge ID on them and dropped them in. I missed the drawing but when I hopped on the elevator the there was a...

    Steady singles and doubles? I prefer the Rob Deer (either a home run or a strikeout).

    Terry's Tips - A Cautionary Tale

    What a well orchestrated attempt! I must say, when I went to the link some of the "tips" throw up a red flag off the bat. "Double your money the lazy way"... "The 10K strategy to double your money every year" I suppose it may peak the interest of amateur investors but it seems like...

    Writing Covered Puts

    Sounds like a strategy a ML broker would try to talk his clients into using... "No No, it's much too dangerous to sell a put... lets buy the stock and sell calls instead!"

    XLF- Financial Select Sector SPDR second most-heavily shorted security on the AMEX

    Good point... the real question... what's the short interest of of the underlying. I tend to agree that the financials will outperform the SPX over the next couple of days, but I'm not about to buy.

    short cramer picks

    I might be wrong on this, but along with LVLT wasn't RAD one of his top picks of the year? It started out '07 on a tear and has since fallen apart.

    Raising Capital For Fund

    Have you tried asking your family/extended family? If you're only looking to raise 20-50k maybe you start by putting together a monthly or quarterly newsletter showing them what an expert you really are. Once you capture their attention and earn their trust ask them if they'd like to be part of...

    Martin "Buzzy" Schwartz

    I guess I stand corrected (sort of)... it does not say on the same page that "he knows it's silly to do that, as roulette is random"... but, it does say "I didn't care that the roulette wheel was supposed to be completely random, that the odds were the same on every spin. I had to have a...

    Citi Faces $6-$10 Billion Write-Off; Prince Is Out

    Citi will rally a few bucks based off this... if the write off was 12-16 billion they'd prob. rally it even more!

    Martin "Buzzy" Schwartz

    No doubt he's a very talented trader... I found his book entertaining. Although, there's an excerpt in there that talks about how he used to love to play roulette and he had a system based on the frequency of red or black coming up. I guess that just goes to show that even some of the best...

    Short Term Trading Strategies

    You say that you've been investing for the past 5 years... coincidently it was almost 5 years to the day that the broader market hit rock bottom. While your approach might work in both up and down markets, you might want to do some research to confirm. By incorporating some technical screens...

    Morgan Stanley Traders Lost $390 Million in One Day in August

    not to me... Seems to me most traders would have chosen the "other" cup and drastically incresed their odds of picking the correct one. Isn't this what trading is all about? Whatever your setup happens to be, hopefully there's some sort of theoretical edge. If so, over the long term you...

    $1MM liquid -- how difficult to achieve 15% annual ROI with option writing?

    You'd probably be better off making use of a proven CTA with a documented track record, of which there are plenty out there. If you take this route, 15% annually with minimal drawdowns is very achievable. Of course, there's always the "slim" chance the program blows up.

    There will be no Fed rate cut

    considering the markets are pricing in a "guaranteed" cut of at least 25 bps, if it doesn't happen, look out below. I take it you feel they'll cut the discount rate?
