The price action over the last two days has been a little extreme, to say the least; the hedge fund theory looks good, and I have a few of my own, most which assume manipulation for one reaon or another" and also assume a move higher once the shakeout is over. This one is painful ! Oil...

Seems like the backdating news came out months ago when AAPL was trading in the high 50's and was almost delisted. Then, after the cheap shares were purchased, the story was "de-emphasized" and amnesia sed back in ?et in. Sort of like a month long version of what happened in a few hours today...

I guess we'll see what the Russian Mafia has to say about that. They are a huge producer, seems like a better price would suit them, but with the US Dollar in the toilet, 60 bucks probably seems more like 70. Supply and demand might not control the price, but they influence it. All the...

Where do you get the cost of production numbers at 10 dollars ? Do they include the cost of exploration ? I would agree that someone is making a ton though. On the point of the Russion Mafia manipulating the price, I'd like to hear more about why they might be inclined to drop Oil by 20-25...

That's what I love about Oil.. it usually reverts to Politics, which is cool because that's life. I didn't say the Arabs rig the price, but I'm not sure it's Russia either, but they are definitely involved. One of the great mysteries to me is who actually has the most sway in moving the price...

Since I work for a large Oil company, it's really easy to watch the Oil market at work. It appears to me that the news cycle like you see on Bloomberg is totally rigged, and you can almost trade the opposite of what the news says. It's a gamble, but when I see the prices dip on "warm weather...

Just a silly observation, and I'm not the greatest trader, but I used to get killed by $9.95 commissions. These look like good trades but it's hard to make much with 100 shares of GLW if you count commissions. Can you swing 500 shares ?

Good buy under 60, and it didn't blast of at 58, but the NAZ is much lower now. Better buy at 50. Never thought it would hit 50. Bet it tests 45-48 and zig zags towards 60-80 at the end of the year. No rush to buy but they are famous for "just one other thing" blurbs. News is negative now...

My company has 15,000 servers, and are buying AMD because AMD beat INTC to the punch in the power saving department, however agree that Intel now has a better product now. But are they not dropping prices ? Price wars with AMD may not produce great stock prices. How about putting your life...

Catchy title for a post, and my bet is that the CEO may be "testing the rumor mill." I've also been in the presence of many high level executives of a company with 50,000 employees and this kind of info is typically discussed offsite, and there is usually no email trail, etc. Having said...

I noticed the same thing Friday...... orders were being submitted that did not match my limit, were lower than the ask, and did not get filled. Seems like buggy software, or in my words, you get what you pay for. Accounting: At 5:30PST is was shown with 48 open positions, and short...

I should be called risktaker, but if I really was, I would use even tighter stops. I just started enabling the stops at 9:45, and you can also specify a volume to be reached for the stop to trigger. I'm stillk an amatuer but do understand that there is frequent manipulation. I have a...

Cybertrader alerts allow you two different ways to close all positions based on any number of variables. I had set it via an alert that close all orders so that all positions were closed if the IWN hit what I believe was 68 when it was trading at 70. The following morning, the days range said...

I set a stop 4 points down on the Russell 2000, and if it hit 66, it would close out 60 small cap positions. Day's low was 68. I got up at 8 and all my position had been sold. I looked at a very odd tick on the graph. Other than blatent stop running, it seems like a fair and orderly market...

Well, there's always this side of the arguement: http://www.internetoutsider.com/2006/01/google_the_bear.html http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.01/fraud.html Where there's smoke, there may be fire. 3 Years ago I said Spyware would become a serious issue. It took time, and a little...

I'm still getting familiar with the style of this forum, and the case for the retracement back to November seems technically valid. I am trying to factor in some non technical issues. The runups in tech seem like they are technically exposed to retracement, and maybe the same could be said for...

Merry Xmas out there E.T. Does anybody have strong feelings one way or another on whether or not there will be a significant amount of tax related selling, short covering, or even window dressing, and what sectors se this the worst ? I'm placing stops in certain stocks in my portflolio...

This was via Cybertrader, and I had to call them to get a link that worked. It turned out to me a little different than the one Cybetrader provided. I have data service on me treo, so I can hook a laptop up to it using PDANet and use the standard app, or just access the link via the PDA browser

I had a thread on this, and I agree that the MM's shake the tree. If I use them as alerts, I set the time to go into effect to 10AM. Looking at past results, 15% would have worked much better assuming decent stock selection. I find it amazing that they can move the price as far as they do...

Thanks agpilot.... previos lows would have worked om MOT but LEH got taken out on a spike. Those devils in the pit. I'm sort of impressed with http://stockconsultant.com, which put me in Nutrisystems for a nice gain. Prophet is good, but it doesn't seem as intuitive to use. Nice site though.
