It's interesting that companies have been allowed for decades to do this offshore drilling without a verified, proven, foolproof plan to correct any problems that might arise. Go figure...

Saying the economy is good can only get one so far, now. People want to see numbers that verify the talk.

Tradestation is running ok.

What's funny is the market has dropped almost 10% in the last week that the gov't has been discussing the 10% flash crash. Are they going to investigate the markets' dropping 10% in a week too?

Everyone has their own trading style/ strategy. For mine, recently I've been seeing over half a dozen signals per day for the contract I trade. This is my definition of high volatility.

Back to the point of the post: volatility may be a cause of concern for investors/swing traders. But, as a daytrader, I'm loving it! Here's hoping these wild swings continue for at least another month or two. By the way, you probably meant to say that stocks fall three times faster than they...

Just delaying the inevitable. This won't impact options, right?

They want us to bankrupt ourselves. Since we will probably never have a balanced budget again, they want us dependent on them.

It is clearly not sustainable. If the federal gov't sets the prededent of bailing out Ca or NY, then interest rates will rise substantially and/or we will see major inflation very soon after.

There are statistics which show the market is trending/following momentum 30% of the time and Reverting to the mean about 70% of the time. So, if you try to follow momentum 100% of the time, the RTM algos/robots will chew you up and spit you out over time. What I've learned a little better the...

Cutting welfare, education, and services without cutting pensions, wages, and other govt spending will result in a LARGER deficit in the long run. That's because the cuts they propose impact the private sector disproportionately while maintaining the size of gov't. This results in ballooning...

With the private economy penniless and the private banks not lending, it seems like the central banks are the last backstop. Think the ponzi is about up?

heh good one

My theory, which many will dispute, is that USA intentionally slowed down so our "allies" could keep up. We abandoned the Apollo program, which was something America only could do, to go for the International Space Station, and other joint efforts with our allies. At the same time, we allowed...

Why can't people accept the fact that what happened during the crash was real? All theories involving a fat finger, or Terra Nova, or whatever else, have been refuted. The HFT machines can only make profit with volatility below a certain level. If it exceeds that level, they stop trading. If...

Keep in mind that 50% of Americans own no stock at all. So, I doubt it will be the end of the world for everyone.

Heh. Wished I had shorted more contracts, as I briefly considered, tradeshark. I'm a decent trader but I'm limiting myself to one contract only until I have this scalping system working like I want it, even on flat days. Today was a good test. How did your system do today?

TS did ok today for me all the way down. We will see if/how they bust these trades. A lot of folks probably had trades open well before the crash.

Just hope this means some sustained intraday movement is coming back to the markets. Tired of nickle and diming it...
