the most dangerous thing you can do is pu t an academic with "theories" and test them on a real market. I h8 this guy. Soon so will everyone.

is to inflate away the FED's fuckups. Really sux tbh. Thats what all he basically eludes to in his discussions about 1929.

i don't think a crash would cause nukes to detonate.

i dont think low is in for the year. I think we started a bear market tbh

Actually, in my interpretation of Taleb's book is that high frequency success can be countered be rare (black swan) loss that exceeds all cumulative wins. In other words, the long term expectancy of seemingly "high win" systems is negative or zero. In addition, he gives particular credence to...

Wow, I'm a liberal when it comes to ET, but this is just plain ridiculous. I guess "government just needs to do more" or "there out to be a law" or "we need to punish the evildoers". What about people who were fiscally responsible and were priced out of the market? Do we artificially...

i dont think the sideways "crazy" chop is necessarily indicative of the VIX, that is, there can be times that it flops and chops in smaller ranges with a lower VIX, it can be great directional trading with a high VIX as well. So, basically, you can't preclude good "trading conditions" (aka not...

what is vn's ET name?

I say we get a good rinsing tomorrow -- will support hold? Do we go into freefall? Either way, I think we get a big down move tomorrow, I would think the most bullish scenario is a big gap down and we hold. IMHO, I dont think its going to happen. Not sure if we hold tommorow (I think we're in...

George Lane for inventing stochastics.

i enjoy this show and think its the only good trading show on TV by FAR. I only watch the first 15 minutes though.

this market is wierd, it sells off hard on volume, but then rallys on light volume. Now normally that would be bearish (but at least until now) it just keeps going up on light volume. Perhaps its changing but very strange action. I suppose there is a underlying bid but who knows what it size...

i lost $12k thru IB I think about a year or two ago when something similar happened. "oldtrader" told me to go fuck myself cause IB had such great commissions. (well, essentially he wrote along diatribe about how I was essentially a loser for complaining/making note of this) I see the...

wow, thats the first post you said not to buy now WOW!

i agree its very ominous.

So you basically admitted your stupid? Here what smart traders anticipated, so I did the opposite and got smoked. This is the most ridiculous post I've seen in awhile. If you "knew" what was coming, why would you flip short?? :confused:

i was all long when the news came out but I don't like to see this kind of action. It disrupts the markets by killing one side (the shorts). If we kill all the shorts, we get parabolic rises which end in total chaos. Better to have a orderly market. Not cool to "cheat". Of course, if the...

+ financials specifically

or it gaps down and heads lower, maybe -1000 or more pts. The reason I say this is there was a huge short squeeze and thats not enuff to prop the market?? plus all the ppl that got in on the squeeze yesterday will start selling (if it doesn't rally back). We had MONSTER volume yesterday so its...
