It is not just OEX. Yesterday, I write some options at the bid price. I had to cancel the order to force the market makers to fill it. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Hey guys, Anyone cares to post some good jokes. Today is the Fed Day. I plan to sit it out, and would like to read through all the jokes posted on this board. :p :p :p :D :D :D

The first ten minutes after Fed's announcement is usually to volatile for the faint-hearted to trade. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

IMHO: There are two noteworthy facts in the unemployment report: 1. In April, the number of unemployed workers surged to 8.8 million, with almost 2 million without jobs for 27 weeks or more. US average duration of unemployment shot up to 19.6 weeks - a 20-year high. 2. April's job losses...

The stocks of all these bogus internet companies have crashed already. No point in shorting them now. :mad: However, there is always the next generation(like Star Trek). :p Someone told me a long time ago that for every five years, there will be a new generation. We have been in bear...

Actually, what has happened to Yahoo ? I did not visit their message boards for almost 30 months. I was shocked by the content of the messages three months ago. :confused: :confused: :confused: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I swing trade options only. Currently, the return is 2.5 to 3% of my account value per month. Have a tough time trying to increase the monthly return to 3.5%. :p :p :p :D :D :D

Agree. Money CANNOT buy happiness. But if you are penniless, your lives are definitely miserable. Money can give you a lot of freedom. If you are rich: 1. Would you get stuck at a 9 to 5 job, that is physically exhausting and mentally not stimulating ? 2. Would you care about office...

Traders, who trade with their own money, and able to make millions from the market. :p :p :p :D :D :D
