this is an issue every trader including myself deals w/ b/c there is no way to tell at the time whether the spike will stop at 20 and not go to 25 or 30.

this topic has been debated multiple times here at ET and elsewhere so in the interest of saving everyone time, money and potential litigation - do NOT pursue sharing of bbg terminals! you don't think bbg hasn't thought about people doing this and have found ways to catch/go after them? bottom...

i would be very nervous about shortin CL at these levels with the recent events and with the fact that the market is very oversold right now (yes it can always go lower)

try NKD for the futures (dec 12 contract Z2)

try fxe, fxy for the euro and yen

i'd stay away from digital tigers. try dell outlet instead. bloomberg has custom monitors built for them - you can't get one unless you have a terminal. the monitor is basically a regular lcd w/ the bloomberg on the bottom right hand anyways.

what do you pay for options commission if you don't mind? did you have to negotiate a deal or was it take it or leave it from them?

i can't recall any specific cases (and don't feel like looking them up now) but i know there have been multiple allegations of this exact scenario you discussed. a related one is bby now traded well below the takeout price which is def helping the former founder in his takeover bid.

not trying to start an internet fight but just a reminder that anything can happen in the market as mark douglas reminds us. for ex, YELP was expected to drop b/c of a lock up the end of aug yet it rallied huge - just check out the price action from 8/29/12-9/5/12. if you shorted and didn't...

b/c....? the high debt levels? i trade off price but have been following this story closely - chk has a lot of debt but they have a lot of assets to pay off the debt. companies only file ch 11 or 7 when they don't have enough assets

i'd tell her to not let the door hit her on the way out.

i've noticed it too - not that i read him b/c he seems to be paid by the number of big words he uses. i can't remember anything actionable or value added he's written.

as a follow up to my post on 11/4/12 where i said to short below 20 - the stock is now dangerously close to taking out its prior support of 18.80 - if it goes below this look for 17.55 to be the final line in the sand. there is no reason to be long right now unless you're playing for a...

i've learned the hard way not to short stocks in a strong uptrend and vice versa. DDD is above the 20, 50 and 200 dma. there is no sign of weakness. if you feel the need to try to pick a top then like other posters have said use a tight stop. also consider going long puts or a backspread...

i'd go long above 3.6 otherwise the trend is down. NG may find support around 3.4 (about 200 DMA and previous resistance from the beginning of sept)

+1. a vast majority (>90% IMHO) will either go w/ aapl or goog (android). if it's aapl obv you're getting an iphone. if it's good, you're most likely buying a samsung if you're looking for the high end comp to the iphone 5.

this is diff b/c if greece bows out and says your bonds are now wallpaper the ECB is insolvent and the market will crash worse than after leh. everyone has too much at stake for that to happen.

as others have hinted at, the datafeed makes all the diff in tick bars. for ex, compare a kinetick (rebranded iqfeed) 233 tick chart and a ib tick chart and you'll clearly see a diff b/c ib samples the data. i switched to tick/volume charts years ago b/c i realized i was missing all of the...

how many times have we seen this play out where greece is about to blow up and the ecb rides in over the nearest hill w/ a bailout b/c the alternative is too much to handle? the same thing will happen again. the ecb and the rest of europe (the world really) are in for a penny so they're in for a...

while there might be short squeezes in the ST, the LT trend is down. price is below the 20, 50 and 200 DMA. if price can at least make it above the 20 dma and stay there i'd get long w/ a small stop.
