    High Put/Call Ratio

    Depends, it could be buy puts, buy stock, stocks heading higher. Had this happen on Tuesday in a stock BPUR. I recognised it and went long. Probably takes some experience though to see it happening.

    thursday DOWN day for djia

    I sold my net long option position in DNA on Monday, felt too good plus the futures expire in June. Wouldn't surprise me to see a rough couple of weeks and then rocket into July earnings.

    I don't understand why y'all are so against options

    There are two types of people who complain, people who just want to vent once in a while, most of us are in this category, and the bitter losers. The latter doesn't want to accept their own shortcommings and therefore they blame the exchanges or the product itself. They'll show up by the...

    Anyone have specifics on how Bush's tax plan will affect day traders?

    Confusion ought to bring opportunity then. When do we have to worry about this, now or beginning of next year? I don't have any positions with stocks paying dividends, so no rush for me. I had planned to work up my own model, or at least investigate other choices, over this summer for options...

    High volatility

    I meant to post something along the lines of, "you're nuts". I mean that in a flattering way First off, the position in BPUR isn't a jelly roll, but a good old fashioned time spread. A "jelly roll" is a lock, in other words, the positions P/L is theoretically already made and all you have to...

    DNA fully valued here?

    One last thing about biotechs, what is amazing is that this news didn't seam to get out. Most of these trials are done through the same people over and over. You would have thought that somewhere somebody would have leaked. My brother has worked for a series of biotechs and in most cases, he...

    Let's talk about our returns. Got any?

    The funny thing is he mocked Metooxx for being pithy. Whomever Metooxx is, he advocates finding a low tax scheme to help multiply your profits. It seams like very sound advice. Depending on how the current tax legislation comes out(plus my end of year P&L), I may follow it.

    Let's talk about our returns. Got any?

    I wouldn't disagree but many MM on the floor never make that kind of many either. Also, there are some very good reasons that the business has been trending, sharply I would say, towards large groups and banks. This is not easy and there isn't a lot of edge.
