yup, that's right... i mean i trade only based on momentum anyway, but i usually am biased a bit, and today i prefer on missing out short moves and looking for long opportunities, when market seems just right... (eg. "low" open and strength... or "high" open, fall back to fridays trading range...

you know what, i think there are plenty guys out there thinking exactly that way... i will try to pick up some stuff of them at early trading after the open tomorrow.... when they are just happy not to have sold on the bottom (as well as the long guys who added all the way down, and may bank...

well, i think that move is mostly (ok, not only but mostly) due to the interventions of the European union, proposed by sarkozy)... it's all about confidence, and who would you trust... sarkozy and merkel, or paulson and bernanke... lol, no i really think the european plan will work...

uhhh aahhh... us government intervening every weekend (bailing out, providing money), and every week monday down... first time nothing out of US and Europeans doing something... market +4%...

i agree, was really choppy, and missed most of the EOD action... was also looking for a break out upwards... however, you may want to have a look at FDAX... made decent money there on the uprun, after the panic sells... with little risk... and the rate cut news would have been tradeable as...

uhhh just produced a fat finger type of trade... but closed it right away... ES in BookTrader, one click is set to 1 as most of the time... orderbook was like BID: 400 @ 106.5, 3@106.75 and my sell ASK of 1 at 107... thought give it a little push and (for the first time ever, i did that...

WM washington mutual in similar situation, has been halted for more than 1 full day already... thats why i don't expect WB to be traded today, maybe not even tomorrow... who knows, i don't

we had similar cases here in switzerland. especially Credit Suisse were aggressively selling those lehman structured products with 100% capital protection..., they didn't clearly state that lehman is behind it (eg. they printed the termsheet with the credit suisse logo)... and they probably...

UBS the clandestine winner of that mess, cause they were early to open their book and raise money... or maybe some singapore off-shore banks
