What happened Dec 16 when SAY gapped down 55%? That was after the Oct slaughter and another 50% drop. SAY has had a rough couple months, no? Is it even available to short?

You're oversimplifying it, of course. Here's another oversimplification. It's the government that holds the debt, and primarily foreign countries that own the debt. The Federal Reserve can print money until the dollar is worth less than the 1994 peso. Ha ha, screw you China. Don't mess...

You see demand for palladium increasing that munch in a month? Maybe 2 years, but a month?

If price drops and volatility expands, that long straddle would return 10%-15% in just a few days, no? If you're wrong and price runs up in the next few days, you still have a chance to make a small profit or at least break even. Sounds like a decent strategy to me.

Other than a cheerleader for Landis, how is your post relevant? And I'm going to go out on a limb and say op's question about today's double inverse ETF valuation had nothing to do with Oct lows.

That can't be right. You're saying if a stock moves down $20, the double inverse moves up $40, but if the stock moves up $20, the double inverse ETF moves down $70. Who invented this idea? The devil himself? That just can't be right. Where's the upside? If a stock moves up $20 dollars...

I gave this thread 1 star. Sorry.

Maher assumes we need religion to fight. Cats scratch, dogs bite, horses kick and humans fight. It's in our nature. Removing religion doesn't change that.

I forgot to mention, I hope you're right. SPX at 850 would center my profit graphs nicely.

I prefer a straddle, and not on the index. We're moving one way or the other.

I think you're mistaking CNBCs sentiment with serious investors sentiment. You need to add another option in the poll: The S&P will see 850 AND 1000 in Jan.

So you're saying the S&P 500 can't move up 7% from the present levels in the month of Jan? I'll take that bet. I like playing the odds.

What's with you, man?

It's a failed business model. Dump it.

All the ingredients are there for a sell off, but the market loves to prove people wrong. Wish I opened more straddles.

Please explain.

I'm having a tough time deciphering that sentence, Vash. What does it mean?

Why so one-sided? With the exception of the children, Israeli and Palestinian, it seems to me innocence has been lost in the fighting. Why do you look past the sins of one group and focus on the sins of another?

Okay. I'm not losing my mind then.

AAPL will get hammered once his terminal illness is CONFIRMED, but at this point, he or the company has confirmed nothing, right? Please post a link if I am wrong. Obviously he's sick, but he's said nothing about a remission as far as I know.
