Isn't the Quantum Fund estimated to be 10% of the Nasdaq's daily volume? I'm sure they're on the other exchanges as well. I'm not saying this for sure is happening and there are definitely times when even if they are trying to get something going they wouldn't be able to, but I don't see how...

Lost discipline *big* time last week so I lost all the gains I'd made in a couple of months (when I started trading). Got back to breakeven with the original amount I started with (well, a couple of thousand above), so I thought this would be a good time to start posting to this thread. Help...

I didn't mean I'd short the minute it hits $150. I just meant I think it will at least get there, since that seems to be where everyone is pushing it too. Maybe it'll top out before then, who knows, but unless I see a huge drop before that level, that's when I'll start paying attention.

I'm going to be on the lookout for what happens when it hits $150 or near it, everyone seems determined to push it there. Will look for selling near there.

Thanks for the insight and the tip on QuoteTracker. I thought I was probably missing something!

It's funny that almost everyone knows the numbers are manipulated and yet it still has an effect on the market. Guess it's got to have some excuse to move.

Does anyone here analyze the action that happens overnight with the index futures? Is it worth collecting and analyzing, or is there not enough volume to mean much of anything? I was going to code up something for the IB TWS to collect it for me, since I can't find a good way to pull it up...

What are everyone's thoughts on how a positive/negative will affect the market? I'm new at this, looking for insight if anyone has it. Also, does the overnight action mean much on the eve of this report?

I think NASA has benefitted the economy greatly overall. We wouldn't have all those satellites out there doing all sorts of things that we now pay for if it wasn't for NASA.

The tech stuff is what SM meant by Nasdaq.

Your stop is only -10 points using 4 hour charts?

Thinkorswim doesn't have account minimums, might be worth moving the account to get better commissions.

Gratitude, what happened to "Also, would likely learn a lot from engaging in live discussion vs. just reading historical posts." You ever coming back to the thread?

Guess the effect on the Dow would be similar, Chevron and Exxon are part of it.

What's your end goal? Do you just want to be a gazillionaire? Are you dissatisfied with your current job and you see this as a better job (why are you dissatisfied - I would be very unhappy working your hours)? If you had enough money to retire forever tomorrow - what would you do? If I were...

The Dow Jones is showing the trailing PE as 15.58??? How are the numbers so divergent from what OP is posting? http://www.djindexes.com/mdsidx/index.cfm?event=showAvgStats#fund

On the subject of making your own fermented slightly alcoholic beverage, has anyone tried kvass? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kvass We've been thinking about making some, since we love dark rye bread so much.

Another INTJ Strength of preferences: 89/75/50/22 I have tested and been a P instead of a J before, but the preference % always seems to be low no matter if it's a J or P. Used to be an electrical engineer, until I became a mom.

I read the Economist occassionally, used to have a subscription but found that almost all of it is online for free, so I didn't re-subscribe. I'll look at Fortune or Forbes if they are sitting in front of me in a waiting room.

I like my martini wet and made with gin, I guess it's the taste of the juniper berries that I like (gin and vermouth both are flavoured with that). I like Tanqueray, but haven't really tried a ton of different gins. I also like it with olive juice, but I must admit it's a bit embarrassing to...
