    Aud/jpy

    If this is one of your favorite cross pairs why don't you start posting some of your trades? it could even be demo account trading as that is a learning experience. The reason I am asking is I have been watching the pair for a while and thought it might be the pair to trade for the overnite...

    At&t

    I would caution you on any long term AT&T calls as the company is starting to see some problems creeping into their operations and customer service. I agreed to switch broadband suppliers & go to them last month. They started billing me right away but have not turned on the DSL capability and...

    Prechter and Elliott Wave

    You are partially correct. The Waves that R.N. Elliott was using do not exist anymore. However his theories and descriptions do work. The problem is, as another member posed, the market makeup (people) has changed which gives you Waves, but not as they are laid out in the books. If you were...

    Bernanke comments and the consumer

    hi guys, good discussion. there has been some extremely good points made but some of you just might be missing the big picture. I read the attached article yesterday mostly because I live in Atlanta. Some other noteworthy items I see are the number of small business spaces that are vacant or...

    Something is going to happen to Micron (MU) soon!!!

    Thanks for the heads up to the article. If it is not a buyout, merger or something of that nature then the only other explanation I have for the open interest of 57,000+ 20 calls for Jan '08 would have to be ...gambling...since this is over $7 out of the money. I don't think that simply...

    Something is going to happen to Micron (MU) soon!!!

    Michael, you may be on to something. I realize this is mostly speculation on your part, but have you given any thoughts to the expected timeframe? i suppose if we were to check the options and where the biggest number of calls reside (month & price) we could get an idea. perhaps it would...

    500000 Iphones times $500ea = $250,000,000 -- So Why Is AAPL Down?

    perhaps you could comment on one of the last trades of the day. it was 169,000 + shares hitting the bid. in other words a $21 Million + trade! i do not know about you, but if i had a long position that size trade would definitely perk my ears up!

    Bearish on the Market-SPX Target=1150

    Hi Michael, Your facts are somewhat skewed because you are not looking at enough history. I just recieved this link a few days ago from a friend. It is about the markets and their direction based upon a historical perpsective. The videos are about 20 minutes. I am not promoting the site or...

    I'm long on AAPL until 135.00 mid week.

    i think i would have to agree. just looking at a chart i see three gaps up. please correct me if i am wrong. the breakaway, the running gap and the exhaustion gap. the last of which looks like it took place mid june. volume peaked earlier in june...of course none of this means it's upmove is...

    What are the chances the first week of July is a down week?

    I concur, this is not the time for a major sell off. It does seem to be getting closer everyday and the similarities are uncanny. I just watched an online video recently by some folks that follow Gann's cycle theories and it reinforced my thinking that another '87 is just around the...

    Pattern day trading various options...legal?

    If you have the capability of asking the nasd or sec to clarify in this thread that would be great as their rule seems to be left to interpretation by each bd. Since IB subjects you to 2520 and its mandate, do they grant you margin priviledges of 4 to 1 when purchasing options? If they do...

    Pattern day trading various options...legal?

    i have a similar train of thought as i am currently developing a strategy to day trade options in a cash account. perhaps for the sake of open discussion some legal type from the nasd or sec could chime in and clarify the need for options players with simplistic buy/sell strategies to be...

    Yo, trendline guys

    My apologies IronFist. I was attempting to answer your question not to take over your thread. Kiwi_trader, I do not mind as I believe that it does not change the facts of how I personally use trendlines. Nor does it change my system or it's profitability. What he posted may be helpful to...

    How Speculators Are Trying To Turn Drinking Water Into The Next Consumer 'Gouge' Item

    Two things. When OPEC originated back in the 70's it stood for Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. There was a joke going around that the countries that used petroloeum were known as "Organization of Fuel Using Countries" or OFUC for the acronym. Now to the subject of water. as...

    FXCM Response to FXCM/PropFX Rating

    Dear Mr. Waring, It is commendable that you have decided to address the issues at hand and are attempting to clarify your platform differences. I wish that others would do the same no matter if they are FX shops, equities, futures, cfd, or anything else. It is great that you saw a need for...
