How many shorts can be squeezed on a daily basis to produce these kinds of swings? We're not talking about penny moves, we're talking about dollars moving like pennies... And no, I didn't quite double, but in the 4 days I 'played' this stock, I am up 80% of my initial capital, so I'm almost...

So by that logic, Blue, wouldn't that mean it would make more sense moving with the 'herd', since there's more protection in numbers? You're the one shorting everything (if you're 'sky is falling' bear talk is how you really feel), why do you do it if you know it's moving up thru...

Eagle, I've seen a lot of people go broke with that precise sentiment. In 'bad' neighborhoods, you have tenants who don't/can't pay rent, and professional rent dodgers who know it takes 60 days for you to file an eviction and get a judgement, assuming you do it yourself immediately and not thru...

eagle... don't we all have an oversupply right now, and OPEC is cutting production til we reduce current inventories a bit? I'm not arguing that oil will go up higher, but I'm not sure oil stocks will benefit all that much in the short run if we have a big glut of inventory to work thru first...

I have a question for the more experienced 'traders', who have actually worked in a trading pit. Every few days, I hop into this insane stock EFUT when I feel like giving myself some serious stress (and YIPPEE! type of glee). It's like clockwork. It goes down 3-10 dollars, it goes up 5-10...

Gawd, don't talk about gold... I sold my gg at $30.60 yesterday. If I waited til this morning, I'd have made another dollar a share. I hate when I do that. Other than that, wow, I made a lot of $$ today on EFUT. I'm still stunned at my 1 day 20% gain (that's a lot for me on one stock in one day).

It isn't over yet, all indexes are on their way back up, and nothing dropped cheap enough to buy, even at the worst. Almost everything I was watching is close to the open again right now, or inching up. I think it will still be a down or nearly flat day. The asian markets closed down last...

EFUT better go up tomorrow, I'm holding overnight and starting to lose sleep. LOL!:D

Know why I think WMT is going down? Because the dollar is going down. You ever look in a Walmart? It's all made in China. Do they even sell anything Made in America there? So what happens when the dollar goes down... and keeps going down? Chinese goods get more expensive. Walmart isn't...

I dunno about the time frame, but I agree.

As long as people keep calling tops, the market's going higher. It can't climb without that 'wall of worry' right:P? The bears here make me happier every day! If everyone were optimistic, I'd be all out of the market.

Maybe. So don't be a bag holding loser:P. I don't think it will go up indefinitely, but if I were you, I'd be covering shorts on all dips for a while.

I hope you weren't short today... :D

I think it's going to close green today. All morning I wish I could buy, there were a lot of scalping opportunities this morning, but I'm all in already:(. It may be a down day tomorrow... tho I doubt it, but I don't think it will today. The easy way to tell is checking the Hang Sen...

Eagle, well said. I expressed the same sentiment about housing on different threads this entire month. The real estate market's going to get a lot worse before it will get better. I was heavily into real estate in the 80's and 90's, but in those days, the prices were low enough that you could...

I haven't given serious thought to futures, so I'm not the expert you are looking for an answer from. However, your post struck a chord with me because everything in it screams that you don't want to do this and just need some validation for your decision to give up on the futures. I think...

I was in Beijing this past summer... it looks just like downtown next to Miami's bay... you'd have a hard time telling the 2 apart except your Beijing pix doesn't have the ubiquitous grey smog that Beijing really does 99% of the time. The amazing part is that it's not only Beijing that has...

Hello Pabst. We have some relatives in Ft Lauderdale too, beautiful area. By your own figures, a 1 bdrm sells for $300K, not too expensive (that's not a very nice 1 bedroom btw... on Key Biscayne, a 1 bedroom went for upwards of a million, 5 years ago). What are carrying costs for a $300K, 1...

That's true. And you could still find amazing deals, even in the worst market in the worst areas for many reasons. Just like in the worst bear market, you can find stocks on a straight climb up. We're not talking about 1 item, but a trend. If you know that in a given zip code, there are...

UL does look really good, I never followed it before, it would be a nice dip buy and I'm adding it to my watch list. Thanks! Who here's chasing stocks? :confused:
