hmm, come to think of it, just imagine how you would have been cranking up your short positions in '08 and early '09. Mirroring Livermore's story, you probably would have gotten a call from Jamie Dimon in early March, asking you to stop shorting the market. You then would have covered all your...

ask Jesse Livermore's ghost how the system works-sounds like how he tried to manage his positions. I think it worked great in the crashes of '07 and '29, but not so much in choppy markets.

Thanks MTE

To clarify, I am looking at Yahoo finance, but multiple choices don't appear when pulling up and options chain for IWM in my brokerage account.

This question is somewhat off the topic, but I noticed some of you have traded IWM options. I noticed the various IWM strikes each have multiple symbols trading. What is the difference, for example, in the Dec 60 call symbol DIWLH vs IQXLH? There is obviously a big difference in open interest...

S&P at 1100 feels like a pretty good place to take some profits...and dump a few losers that I started accumulating way too early. I don't want to pay capital gains when my long term portfolio is basically back to scratch. The holiday shopping season might be the next catalyst up or down, so...

hmm, if you have $2000 to $5000 to spend, maybe I'll book your trades for you. How much leverage do you need?

Ironically, pundits were speculating on CNBC or Bloomberg that part of the reason for market strength today is that people ARE still losing jobs. That means no Fed rate increases and continued free money for Wall Street. So yes, there is a huge disconnect between main street and wall street...

It seems to me that the middle of the day, typically a slow and listless trading time, is not a great time to trade these breakouts. I'm guessing if you make a habit of trading trendline breaks in the middle of the day, unless it happens to be a moderate or strongly trending day, you are going...

In answer of the original question, I bought the entry level computer from Trading Computers about 3 years ago, when it was a 4-monitor, sub-$1000 machine. Their pricing and configurations have changed a bit since then I think. It has performed very well over the years. One thing I always...

Ha, isn't South FL and Las Vegas where NY drivers go after retirement? I've lived in both places and drivers are terrible. When your light turns green you don't don't dare pull out into an intersection without at least a 1-second count. There are routinely 2 or 3 consecutive cars running red...

Macal and Eight, those are some pretty good suggestions to hopefully annoy these people as much as they do me. I've thought about acting interested enough to pump some information out of them (in order to complain to FCC or something) but I really just wish they would go away. I did report the...

I'm pretty sure my cell phone # is registered on the do not call registry, but I registered (again?) today. I don't stress too much about bogus calls to our home phone as much, I guess I'm just accustomed to getting sales calls there. But when you start getting calls on your cell, that just...

I have been tolerating these stupid "final notification that your car warranty may be about to expire" phone calls for months now, maybe years, I haven't kept track. Over the past few months however, they seem to be coming with increased regularity, not only on my home phone number, but now on...

hah, had me going for a second. I almost jabbed out my eyeballs with a letter-opener after reading the words "too big to fail" for just about the thousandth time.

Why are we even arguing about which party is to blame in these bogus mortgages? The last time I checked, it took at least two parties to sign on the dotted line of a mortgage contract. Seems to me that personal responsibility cuts both ways. That idiot on Dateline? Yeah, she screwed up. Was the...

I'm sorry if I am having trouble crying for a millionaire who has had a very bad year. I am sure he did work his a-- off in a very stressful environment. Over the years, he has gotten his share. Even DeSantis states in his letter: "Some might argue that members of my profession have been...

Mr. DeSantis, I feel your pain...I don't work at AIG, so I was even further removed from the handful of individuals who razed your company. You are upset at being asked to return your bonus (an amount of $$ that the average American would have had to work 10 or even 20 years to earn); I am...

The way things are going, I'm considering stashing some cash in a safe-deposit box...just not sure what bank I would trust anymore.

Exactly, "you" can, but not everyone can. If everyone in the country had college educations, sure it would be great for the nation overall, and it would be great for lots of individuals, but the fact is we would still have millions of low-end jobs that needed to be filled. You would just have...
