    Ron Paul calls Stress Tests Propaganda....

    You are simply bringing up the "moral hazard vs systemic risk" argument again. Ie. govt intervention or just let nature take its course. I think that argument is kind of old. The question is whether or not the stress test is worthwhile or not. I vote no, because the banks constantly go...

    The only thing I did yesterday was to sell out my UYG at 3.63 on the early pop. Evidently I should have alerted the world so someone else could have possibly taken advantage of the additional 10% freaking move I missed out on. Oh well. Slow and steady again today. Sniper mentallity working...

    I guess I'd prefer a separate thread for sim results. Just my 2 cents.

    Let me be the first to call myself incredibly average compared to you guys. Up a little. Probably be bailing on the UYG soon. Lesson learned, and basically flat on it for the year.

    This is embarrassing. No one wants to play with me. Less than 10k shares this week. Up today but flat for the week.

    Newb question about margin required for naked puts

    Ah yes. Good ol' St Patty's day of 2008 and the BSC experience. Being short Bear Stearns puts that Sunday night was NOT a good feeling. No sleep Sunday night, and drunk as a skunk Monday night after somehow surviving the day. The unthinkable happens much more often than statistics would...

    Newb question about margin required for naked puts

    500 contracts = 50,000 shares which you may end up owning at 14 = $700,000. Unless some of what you stated in your post were typos, please don't trade options.

    OK, I'll be the first. Lucky to be alive after having so many stuck orders out there. A red comma after 93,400 shares. Nice job 7.

    Ouch. But I have to say thanks to whoever took 600 LAZ off my hands 2 1/2 hours after the close on Friday.

    Trader P/L 2009

    Unbelieveably solid day on higher than avg volume for me. My GOOG B-fly worked, UYG was up a little, and one small net loser on the API. Stuck with LAZ over the weekend, but I'll deal with it. These aren't Weinstein or Red Ink (or dinoman) numbers but it feels pretty damn good...

    Do you develop your system by yourself or with helps ?

    I don't think I'd be consistently profitable if it wasn't for the input of others.

    Tax Tea Parties... Do they mean anything?

    Absolutely false. I am close friends with a few guys who are small business owners, and participated in the St Paul rally, and would bury most people intellectually. Unfortunately, your statement is an example of how these rallies are portrayed in general media. So I agree it wasn't taken...
