Sooooo... all us EliteTrader forum looneys are going to create our own self fulfilling prophecy by seeing if we can move SIRI all by ourselves on Monday morning? I'm up for that:P. LOL!

And who's going to think of telling you any of that if no one says something the person has to argue with? It's people like Blue who MAKE the board what it is. If they all left, I'd leave since there'd be nothing to talk about and no one to talk to. The best threads on this forum are the...

These articles are so ironic. I recall nearly the identical articles in 1998. Not 2000 mind you, by then it was too late. They were the rage in 1998. We're going to crash. These bubbles are imminently going to pop! When we fall, we're going to fall SOOOO hard! Blah blah. 1998. And lots of...

The question here was what to do about brokers who don't offer money market sweeps. When they're paying 1.5% annually, and you know you're going to sideline (like if you do the sell in May and go away thing), you will easily make it thru at least 1 dividend period, while you're money is making...

You're right Bitstream, I assumed. Thought I'd offer some suggestions in case he didn't know. If hedging with options was something he was familiar with, I don't think he would have had to panic when his long started to slide, especially when for weeks he's been so unsure of the market via...

Ahh. Ok:P. It's not $.20, it's $.30 on the ask, but I get your point. It's a good point too.

Eagle, it depends on the fund/etf. It's very liquid, and if you pick one that's into bonds, it's pretty safe. If you have to pick 2, I'd go with BGT or PCN. While they can go down, they pay HUGE yields and... well... check the charts, the ranges are very small (but DO fluctuate). If you...

Oh, it's a fantastic deal. And if you do that $25K with a checking account (if you don't have $25K, why are you posting on a trading forum?), EVERYTHING is free, including all your billpaying and online banking. So free trading, free banking, the best online account management, total...

HUH?! The $5 Jan puts on SIRI are $1.15 on the ask, and the stock's only selling at $3.90:P. I want your option quotes, where did you find $.05 Jan puts?! That's money for free. :confused:

I have several accounts, and there's a definite tradeoff for high interest vs features. If you plan to sideline cash a lot, Bank of America's trading account is currently paying 4.53 in the sweeps, and it's only $5 a trade (BOTH market and limit). They're a typical bank when it comes to...

LMAO!! :eek: :D :p I've done that! LOLOL! But it's been um... 5 years since I did that:P. 2007... my mom trades just like you. She panics when the prices falls, and sells. Then when it's high, she's greedy and won't sell. Then she waits for the fall, and then panics again. Absolutely...

I haven't even looked at satellites since Loral/Globalstar went backrupt, dumped all the stockholders and took a whole lot of my money with it (and lo! It's still in business! LOR is at $22.69 right now, GSAT at 14.10. They're booming after going backrupt and stealing all the investor money and...

Of course it's going higher, the fundies are fantastic... but then, it's going to bounce like crazy, it always has. That's what makes it so fun. Check out the option prices on it after a month or so... few stocks play in every direction like this one does. You can just hold, knowing it's going...

Wow. Sorry to hear that. That one spike to 93 was the highest it's been in years. It's still $.52 up for the day from yesterdays' close, which was a substantial run. I've done that too, misjudged a trend, I hate when I do that. But I never buy while something's still climbing, so I don't lose...

Um... WHY did you sell all your longs at a loss today? It's a volatile day... being triple witching and all. If you're up, taking some profits is no biggie, but why sell at a loss? Unless you're long a totally tanking industry/company, you should wait til next week at least to sell, since today...

That's probably true. He's wayyy too cheerful posting to be getting clobbered the way he would be if he were really playing his calls.

YAY! I sold my call at the low. It can go up now. LOL! I love this stock. It's stunk for the last few months, but it's going back to being one of the most consistently volatile stocks on the market, and of all the stocks I've ever owned, this one has been the most profitable for playing...

I hope it pulls back a little... I just sold another call on it at the high :eek: . Sometimes I get too greedy... hehe.

Blue...everything that goes up must come down. No one thinks this bull run will last forever. I also agree that when it falls, it's going to hurt, thus caution is a good thing.

Blue, I like your 'sky is falling' commentary. When everyone is a bull, we'll all be sad because there will be no one pulling us back down to earth and... that's when crashes happen:P. Anyway, as you say, even in a bull market, you can make a lot shorting and buying/selling puts. Even tho...
