    S&P 500 looking very toppy

    Spike I appreciate what you are saying but looking at the daily chart for the last month I don't necessarily see a clear up trend, rather I see us banging on a ceiling of resistance. Maybe we will break through but my reading of the tape is that we are about to rollover for the summer or at...

    Anyone in Aruba?

    Thanks, just hope that they don't get hit by a hurricane his season (almost got hit by Emily, the devastation from the one that hit them last year was incredible and why prices are still so affordable at the moment).

    In their own words

    How appropriate that a right wing wacko like you Tgregg would show such an interest in what your left wing wacko counterparts have to say. You'all have more in common that you realize, enjoying yourself? In the meantime we have people dieing in Iarq and threats for all around the world. Put...

    Anyone in Aruba?

    Vacation villa but plan to spend Jan-April down there (a couple of trips back home and lots of sailing and scuba). As much as I enjoy the Island life in brief doses it really takes a certain type of personality to be able to live on island for long periods of time. I tried renting a place about...

    Anyone in Aruba?

    I am months away from buying a place in the Caymans and having never been to Aruba wondered how it stacked up? Caymans is very safe, drivers are considerate and don't drive very fast, good restaurants and grocery stores etc. friendliest people in the Caribean and many British there. Relatively...

    Bear Demolition Market 2005

    There is a saying that there are old sailors, and bold sailors, but not many old bold sailors. The same applies to traders and longevity in the markets.

    S&P 500 looking very toppy

    I am 100% discretionary and the "rules" I use wouldn't mean much to anyone and are usually pretty basic but have served me well over the two decades I have been trading. I jumped the gun on Tol but shouldn't get hurt too bad with the stock as a hedge. With volatility as low as it is felt pretty...

    Can Etrade be held liable?

    I have a checking account with them and sent them and e-mail saying no wires unless the comfirmed by phone (to my home phone number only) prior to wire and included the link to the the Etrade fraud thread, never did get a reply but may have bought some protection.

    S&P 500 looking very toppy

    Bought a bunch of 06 and 07 Tol puts this am, was forced to buy the stock as a hedge when Merrill upgraded, will probably hold until the August call and dump the stock and stick with the puts. Should have just waited for the August call are originally intended but CEO selling with both hands...

    Trying to raise Money

    Seems pretty unethical to me. You are really not a market maker as you will be bringing so little liquidty to the table, you are really just a trader. Also don't know what returns you expect to make to think that 20% on the returns from $50K will even be worth it. Hopefully the farmers will...

    Big bad day, coming soon.....

    Look at the UK, they were crude devices even 9/11 is was more a product of luck (that the buildings collapsed) rather than technical expertise. Spain was a more professional job but still fairly crude despite apparent easy avaialability of plastique in Eastern Europe. The nuke stuff is fiction.

    Big bad day, coming soon.....

    There is no way the 20 small nukes is accurate. You don't think tthey would have used at least one by now if they had them? Besides if that happened I hate to say it but the warranted reaction would probably be full scale invasion of the mideast by the western world and an impostion of martial...

    Ken Shaleen's Vol and Open Interest (futures) is worth a read, nothing too profound but covers the basics.
