    Taking a loss can set you free?

    Most of F9's post was confrontational I do agree with this statement. I try to not trade on fundamentals unless the information was completely unexpected and unpredicted...Sept 11th would be a good example. Otherwise you can pretty much assume that anything that is known, or is perceived about...

    Bull are pushing Big White candle up...

    Yes you did. I see this now. I will try to heed your advice and ignore any threads started by those two names. Although a little flame fest every now and then can be fun. So we shall see.

    Bull are pushing Big White candle up...

    Ok this is a new low even for this forum. Just received this PM from Mr. HFT2. Did anyone else get such a cheery Christmas Card from him? I am not sure if he means he is going to "hand me my ass" verbally in this thread or if he is threatening physical violence. Either way this shows his...

    ES Journal Archive (2006 - 2008)

    So you guys thing it will have enough momentum to break through the resistance around 1374 or think we might see some pull back on Thursdays earnings including Merrill's estimated 8 billion in write downs?

    Was It A Pump Day? Will Thursday and/or Friday Be Dump Days?

    All I can say is the market traded up to a resistance point today and ES is down 2.00 or so in the after market. Merrill Lynch is expected to write down several billion in assets tomorrow. Will this be enough to cause the market to pull back from the resistance or will the market ignore it and...

    Worm found in new MP3 player

    The only way you are safe is if your AV is newer than the virus/worm. It's a scary world when they can infect, Photo frames, MP3 Players, Cameras, and Cell Phones...basically anything that has any type of memory or storage and can connect to your PC is now suspect.

    You consider wishing people burn in hell as a nice gesture?

    Bull are pushing Big White candle up...

    That's just it...we are reading your posts: You say: "I am not a one sided trader". Then you say: "The shorts have created most of the damage. They deserve no appeasement. I hope today they burned in hell and lost piles of money." IF you also trade the short side then you are part of...

    Bull are pushing Big White candle up...

    So if you are making "consistent month income streams". Why do you have so much angst for anyone who ever has a short position open? Of what consequence is it to you that makes you so angry that you come on this forum and wish they "burn in hell"? You say it's the shorts that hurt the market...

    Bull are pushing Big White candle up...

    This is exactly what I was trying to get to in my post. On March 27th HFT2 PM'ed me and said he loved to use straddles and strangles around earnings...which is a viable strategy. However that made no sense based on all of his "I hate bears, we can only go up from here" posts.

    Bull are pushing Big White candle up...

    This is your answer? Hindsight only?. The best I can tell this site only really has two "Perma" people on it. JackStone is the Perma-Bear and you are the Perma-Bull. Everyone else seems to go long when it's right and goes short when it's right. You and Jack are the ones that need to battle it...

    Worm found in new MP3 player

    It's exactly as BigBubba said. You have to connect the Digital Picture Frame to your PC via USB cables to upload your pictures to it. As soon as the connection is made the worm infects your PC and even disables most known AV programs in the process. It then gathers what it wants and uses your...

    Bull are pushing Big White candle up...

    Yes today was a bullish day. However the market traded right up to resistance levels set during the first few days of April (INDU, ES, SPY, IWM) all of them. Tomorrow will bring billions in write downs from MER and with this coming at resistance I look for tomorrow to be a bit to the downside. I...

    Worm found in new MP3 player

    There were some brand new digital photo frames sold in major US retail stores that came from China with a worm pre-loaded into the frame. The worm on your device sounds a lot less of a problem than the one that came on the brand new photo frames. For the complete Photo Frame story read...

    Options, Put and Call on the same stock. (Long)

    I would first like to welcome you to trading and to the site. However, since you are completely new to trading I feel I should point out that options are both easier and harder to make money with than with stocks. The reason options are easier is b/c you can mitigate risk easier and there are...

    franchise dilemma.

    Treat it like investing in the stock market. Can you afford to completely lose that 100k? If so then it might be worth the risk to potentially get a return. If you can't then don't invest it. As others have said you do need to do some research and determine the minimum and maximum time...

    BS market

    I've put it right at 1375.72 but I put it a tad high for a little leeway. See chart for the last month below. <img src="http://www.fantasydaytraders.com/eqpics/ES-41608.jpg">

    BS market

    As I said in my last post in this thread the market traded right up to resistance today. Since that post ES has dropped 1.75 so far in the after hours. For tomorrow I would be slightly bearish coming off the resistance and a small move

    BS market

    The deal is the market was already factoring horrible earnings expectations. Since the earnings came out less horrible than was factored in, the price went up. It is going to be interesting to see how the write downs that MER is going to have to report tomorrow will affect the markets which...

    Its all in the testes

    The reason for the seeming randomness is that no two systems are the same and some are obviously better than others. So some are getting buy signals when some are getting sell signals so the market moves. I think it is these very systems that cause things like support, resistance and trendlines...
