how come ET attracts some of the biggest cry babies in the world... and they blame others (strangers mind you, not actual friends) for their life... I bet it's the same as why dogs lick themselves... because they can! So because you're a so-called "beginner" other veteran traders should...

why would you care if you are secure with your own trading... let's say everyone was profitable... what difference would it make in YOUR life! Let's say many were not... also what difference would it make. The only thing that matters is your own results. So what's the point of your inquiry...

You know, I had always wanted to read Zone... and now might be a good time to order it from AMZN since I am taking off some time in June (and AMZN by the way has seen it's stock price run up while QCOM just sits still, and trends lower with good earnings)!! Damn! :D :p Regards...

thanks M.... that is good advice... and you are right. Typically when I find myself rationalizing I got no business in the position.... Fortunately I did short the May and June 35 calls when qcom was 34. And shorted May 32.50 calls near 33... so it's not like I won't make out fine. But hard to...

QCOM got all kind of pundits talking about this or that. And how SARS is affecting it, and blah blah! Of course it's noteworthy that many other tech/telecom stocks are immune to any bad news, and moving up. Hmmmmm.. why is that? I guess if you live long enough you'll see and hear...

Do you want to trade for a long time...? Then honor this rule: do not average a loss or double your size against the trend and/or when you are angry or frustrated or doing so without a valid reason OTHER than making up a loss! EVEN if you look back and hindsight shows you that it might have...

No huge house... or fancy car. But I would try to pull off a Thomas Crown caper with no one getting hurt. That's always been my fantasy; including the beautiful blonde! Talking here about the real one... McQueen/Dunaway! Ice:cool:

I agree with that... but I did wish him bonne chance! And I meant it. Ice:cool:

he likes skim milk... and is upset mommy gives him whole milk to get him to grow up to be big and strong like a real ET! :D Ice:cool: p.s. good luck in all endeavors minimi!

if you can't spot the sucker within half an hour... YOU ARE the sucker! G'luck... in whatever endeavor you choose next.

for the replies... well it's shaping up to be a great day in Chicago.... looks like a beautiful week ahead, and with all the rain over the weekend, it's likely to be a superb one to watch more grass grow!! i.e. MSFT/QCOM Of course, with expiry action, and short sellers looking for...

Can someone explain to me (not offer merely a rationale-ization) why I am sitting here with options positions and stock on these two equities... and on a day like today... not to mention the past weeks, they are grossly underperforming the market while (imho) inferior crapola is rising each day...

QCOM IS going to explode after this short b.s. is resolved....! imho Ice:cool:

near 32 on Monday is likely ... gap jmho Ice:cool:

I'll reply to that Q... bought 7 May 27.50 calls for .60 on ADVP recently... I have traded that stock for quite a few years... sometimes with small size and sometime larger, but not in a while. SO I hold them for a few days... and for some inexplicable reason I exit at .60 (scratch ) the...

do you really want to call yourself "Error". Not good-sounding vibrations. Regards, Ice:cool:

Believe me... nothing IB could or might do as you allege can really interfere with making money in the options markets. Whether I make a lot or a little or none... is a corollary of my own astuteness and application of good trading skills or the absence thereof. This has been my observation...

Yep.... right on bro! the Sherman Anti-Trust Act is honored by not enforcing it at all... or very selectively when big copmanies like SUNW etc. go after MSFT. Most government lawyers who are supposed to uphold the law and enforce these things in the marketplace and elsewhere... like... let's...

No keep ranting about the shameful, pitiful, corrupt SEC. They're an example of why I get all bent out of shape whenever I hear the patriotic crap like occurred during the attack on Iraq. This country is not moral such as we can cast the first stones... ever! Just a notch above. These cancel...

U know... Krumhorn, Schiller or Lonny Siegal ? (or maybe you are one of them). :D Lived downstairs from Morrie... and also used to play poker, bowl and hang out at the track with these guys, among others. Ice:cool:
