I wondered why CAT was down yesterday when the DOW was up 100 points. I thought maybe it was just an industry thing in sympathy with Deere but today they are downgraded by Sniffle Nicolas... not that anybody should care what Sniffle thinks, but it obviously makes a difference on the margin.

Game plan followed!

Thanks! I C (said the blind man!) 1507.50 to 1518.75.

in case noone else noticed, if my clocks are correct you made your post before the 12 print, and the low print after that was 1511.75 before heading higher. How do you do that?? :confused: great job!

I sold on the way up at 1513.25 4 seconds later my stop market was hit at 1513.75 I was filled at 1513.50 At the low end of the range I am looking to sell resistance. At the top end of the range I start looking to buy dips. Something wrong with this picture. :confused:

Your workday will be 1 hour longer (you will have to start 1 hour earlier) in the winter when we move our clocks because Japan does not move theirs. Will you be all by yourself or will there be others working with you? Do you have a quiet place to sleep during the day (morning)? How...

holy liquidity! :eek:

same, but it only took me one trade. S 1513.50, SL 1514.50 You are trading with some very tight stops!

It's a normal distribution..... with fat tails.

yes (I have an opinion) I will send you a pm whoops - your pm it turned off. Do they want you to go to Asia or trade at night in Boston? (Topic title says "out of Boston") If Asia, where?

Thank you both for posting the New Yorker article and the Colbert video. I am reading and enjoying Fooled by Randomness, although at times it makes me want to go out and shoot myself for even thinking that I might be able to make a living trading. If Empirica is a successful fund, my...

ok, how many thought apex was nuts when he posted a target of 1500? I thought that was a tad aggressive. Nice freaking call! :eek: :eek:

not all yours. I sold at 1513.25 and set my stop at 1514.00, then tightened it to 1513.75..... whoops.

Well, it wasn't exactly unchanged, as in every work identical, but it may as well have been! As expected, "March 21" was changed to "May 9" Other changes: Recent indicators have been mixed changed to: Economic growth slowed in the first part of this year Recent readings...

An unchanged fed funds rate is certainly expected, but I think many analysts are looking for some subtle changes in the text, especially after the confusion created by the March statement. for example, May 9 (Bloomberg) -- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke may today seek a...

Their original plan was to buy 1000 call options but there was a misunderstanding and the trade did not go through. The branch manager, when asked who had placed the large order was told, "That would be Wong," so the order was canceled......................... :D (rimshot)

I mean, word for word identical to the March 21 statement (except the date). At that time changes in the Fed's wording created quite a bit of confusion - did they change their bias? Are they moving towards an ease? If you look at the March 21 statement you can make a case for keeping it...

So the Dow is down 50 points and CAT is up a point... I sell out my position (almost 1/2 point ago) and start to wonder why is this stock up so much? Oh, somebody suggested that CAT could be Warren Buffet's big mega acquisition target. ok...

That makes sense. I was thinking about this yesterday, but figured out on my own that using a stop "limit" order would kind of defeat the purpose of using a stop loss order.

ok... but even that trade is now gone! :confused: buy 1514.75 and sell 1515.00? :p I'm going out to enjoy the weather.
