Options expiry coming up. GS is probably manipulating for an options play.

The operative phrase here is "the same as". Is this 'the same as' quantitative - as in able to score as well on I.Q. tests? Or is this 'the same as' qualitative - as in having a similar distribution of aptitudes ( blacks and whites equally talented at both jazz and physics )? In...

Both of you guys are right. It's all over the place. I don't have the guts to hold anything overnight; I'm in and out in less than half an hour whether I'm up or down. This is a great intraday trader but so far I'm only very slightly ahead on it.

Whatever. Just liquidated. Made 610.00 in 17 minutes.

RIMM's been trying hard all day to go up. It's actually up with Nasdaq down 173. Doing better than the other high-flyers. Narrow range. Anybody heard anything?

America's looking more and more like a speeded-up version of Rome. Now we're in the corruption and craziness stage that comes before the fall. The sad thing is that most Americans just want to be decent, honest, hard working citizens, but when the system's in the clutches of the power mad...

Goldman Sachs' tendrils reach into every nook and cranny of the corporate and political worlds. Their 'alumni' (read ongoing associates) even head central banks. GS is perfectly set up to play a crooked game so why wouldn't they? They even cover their bets by funding every candidate...

So far, so good. The specialist triggered a stoploss cascade this morning, now he's squeezing the shorts. Monday he blows it off to the suckers.

RIMM trades like a penny stock - up and down 10% a day. It's as speculative as a penny too. Extremely manipulated. It'll close on it's high today, open with a gap Monday then down.

This subprime giant seems to have a thousand shoes to drop. $2000.00 gold is a possibility, but the run-up from May '05 has been remarkable and is turning exponential. In context, a quick $100 correction would be normal. East Asians and South Asians love to hoard gold but they've been at...

Economics is pseudoscience.. like astrology. If you understand the economist you're not listening.

Never work. You have to know how to speak the code.

Why not Canadian banks? They're big, well managed, and have little to no exposure to sub-prime mess. TD (Toronto Dominion), RY (Royal Bank of Canada). They all trade on NYSE. They're dropping in sympathy right now, but when the dust settles... Then again, the banks are all...

By George, Cutten, I do believe you're right. Any sign of strength in the U.S. economy and the speculative support will vanish.

Doesn't make it true either.

What with all them animals the worst job had to be swabbing the deck.

Judy Woodruff interviewed some market pundit or other ( might have been Mike Holland ) on the PBS Newshour last week; this guy said the majority of transactions taking place on the market were between traders and that investors are on the sidelines - hence the volatility. As you can...

Pretty substantial volumes on those techs, too. Looks precarious even though we're already off 20%+ on high-flyers (RIMM, GOOG, etc.). Tomorrow morn is critical.

Ask them why. Could be that you never opened a short account or that you're undercapitalized for a short account. Also, TDAmeritrade has a lot of rules and restrictions that traders can find frustrating, but these very restrictions ( insisted on by partner TD Bank ) are what keep this...
