And the reason for you being short is?????? There is nothing that warrants a short just yet unless you plan on just throwing a dart "because it looks like that could work"...... Next level to short is SPY 113.20 area, if the market gives a short signal.....we just ran up for a few days...

If you have a negative outlook on things and if your actions are only a result of negative stimuli try this little trick: If you traded for a while, you pretty much know what works and what doesn't....You probably already have a feel for when things feel right and for when they don't...

It's actually not nonsense at all unless you are a gambler? Sure you'll hit the occasional 200-300% gain but more often that not your out of money options will rot away resulting in a loss even if the underlying moves in your favor.... It amazes me that most people don't get that...

well I suggest that you stay away from options then - usually one gets what one believes in.... Options are fantastic tools if used properly and if one understands the risks properly.I have seen people buying front month out of the money options and bitch because the price wasn't moving with...

Lunch is a very delicate subject. It is also a good time to take advantage of the reduced volatility in strong/weak stocks and position for the afternoon with reduced risk.....how many times does the market make a high/low at 10.30-11.30 lunch comes around, volume drops stocks retrace a bit...

I would say that more money is made in stocks that outperform the market than in stocks that have a higher correlation? I'd say that had you bought a higher low in SNDK VMW or even LVS when the market was making a lower low on the 25th of may you'd be sitting pretty now.... Looking for...

Short term - possible retest of 114-115 SPY (technical target on inverted H/S on hourly chart).... Then, we'll see - if we catch bids above 115 we may retest the top and possibly go higher. Now if we fail at 114-115 and break the lows at 104/105 we're in trouble, as this would trigger a...

because the firm is worth the time.... Because the mentors make sure nobody gets cute and trades stupid, and I'd say 95% are on the right side of the trade and make money when things move.... Noboday during the big plunge thursday was long with the majority being short or flat - and oh my...

Once we start losing our freedoms and we can no longer afford the lattes and cable subscription things may finally change... I lived in France in my teens and have seen many things that seem impossible here.....such as protests, strikes and riots heavy and violent enough to overturn...

I have a friend who used to be a MM and this type of practice in the options market is "standard" practice. They make the market and when things get this bad, they simply "walk away" and put the odds overwhelmingly in their favor. If you want to play, you have to pay...lol When a GOOG...

The question is how do we take advantage of this as traders? While charts for BP-RIG-HAL look rather painful, COP has been doing rather well - and somewhere someone has to profit from this. Higher gas/oil is likely in the near term, which will mean higher profits: my bets are on COP and...

On February 10, 2010, Blockbuster announced that it would cease all its operations in Portugal. closing down in the process 17 outlets and leaving over 100 workers unemployed. Blockbuster representatives in Portugal blamed internet piracy and the lack of government response to it as the key...

I think they're on their way out.... I had 3 of their stores in my neighborhood and they all got shut down, along with a hollywood video... Too much competition - and too much convenience at a cheaper price for the business model to remain viable.

I'd wait for the stock to become less volatile and start showing signs of recovery before even thinking about getting long....One may miss the first 5-10% but why jump in when nothing's clear? It's like MEE - I heard in this thread it was a buy in the 42.50 area? it's now down 20% from that...

What did GS say to the judge? "To make a long story short........." Sorry.... :D

That was NOT priced in.....lol Interseting how that will affect things tomorrow....

And how is that different from any other firm? And yes the senators were acting like complete tools....who voted these people in???

I understand watching a stock, feeling it's too high and all this other crap... I can even understand wanting to short it... But what methodology did he use for getting into the trade? What is the signal, trigger, what is the stop (besides a margin call :D ).... :confused: How...

And he stayed in the position prior to earnings??? Brilliant!!!!!
