I AM PROUD TO BE A VEGETARIAN (since past 10 years) :D

Should have one more option "NO, I have never blown up my trading account and am making money."

just booked around 46, not much confident about strong open.

took some short, will hit out fast if shows loss.

Most traders use leveraged accounts, percentage gain is meaning less. % gain is for investors who park their money somewhere and hope desperately. Not for traders who want to make a living. Ever heard of the ratios of cagr, omega, sterling...

after a long time, I'm seeing today none(very few) stocks moved up after first 30 mins. SnP is down every now and then but today there is hardly any buying anywhere. If it remains like this till 4pm can indicate substantial weakness.

Saw you get killed in a loo, hartman. I know your ghost wont get peace.

I have just 100 shares, want to book here at 30 but can be tough getting in again.

Won't look so crazy if you're long at a good price :D

yupp gaj. though I kept waiting for something like aug-07 or oct-08 like a crocodile, if it happened my year might have been far far better.

Finally someone talking about volatility, most in my group(including me) kept sulking about volume dry up and choppiness through out the year :D
