Ask for a Chinese speaker in customer service.

I also followed her journal and her CL calls WHEN she posted them...she has nothing to "prove" to anyone. Nor is she selling...like a lot of traders in between trades she just likes to "chew the fat" just that she is far more articulate than most of us!:D

I don't think "the" market is that irrational. I believe we will limp to the finish line. There certainly could be a push to 1800 to wring out all the shorts....but reality will take over when all the earnings reports are out and market looks forward and tries to figure out exactly where all...

attempt to deflect argument......failed

wow...how about a 14pointer? NQ's are down!:eek:

here comes the D...a whopping 3 pointer...just give me a 4 plz

btfd..... BUT THERE IS NO "D":eek:

If I were strongly bullish on FB and wanted to play the earnings I would sell the weekly (expire in 11 days) 54 put (4$) buy the 54.5 call (4$) as an syn long. unlimited risk to the downside so "just" in case I was wrong I'd buy the DEC 13 (60 days) 46 put for under $2. If FB does tank I can...

NFP I don't see it on the economic calendar of either Bloomberg or Yahoo. Isn't it usually a Friday report? Was it delayed because of the shutdown?

ES option contracts (puts/calls) if left to expiration and in the money will be cash settled and into the futures ie..you are long the ES (if you were short the option or long the call) and short the ES (in you were short the call or long the put)...at least on the weekly's. I would be suprised...

all I can saw is WOW...still not a smart strat over the long term...but ENJOY your winnings at the GOOG racetrack.. sle just a back of the envelope peek at delta of the 930... :)

mm move is predicting 31 pts...hate to say it but a 84% probability of losing + commission costs...why make these really stupid (no offense meant) calls? As already mentioned buying calls just before earnings is one of the most consistent losing strats there are. and I do agree with the...

Very difficult for me today.....no way can I scalp. Decided to just stand off to the side and sell longer dated put/call...grab a little of the vol trade...but no scalping the cash ES

"IF" it were me I would NOT combine the SC C's and net the result on the SC SE simply because the only reason for the trader sc C is to report your expenses as a trader and NOT as a business which requires you to pay SE taxes. If the other income IS a business that requires you to pay SE taxes...

sorry...got it off the irs.gov website and its just a pic of the 1099misc. it does seem a bit strange that they report it in box 7 because usually its only for independent contractors...so not sure how google is characterizing the income. I do understand your confusion and would normally...

If the income is reported in box 7 you need a separate sc c and need to do an se.....however if its reported in box 3 ...then take it to line 21 of 10 http://md27.quartz.synacor.com/service/home/~/?id=36226&part=2&auth=co&disp=a

It depends on what box the income shows up in...kinda agree with hafiz that it may be ok to put it on line 21 of the 1040 ....since it isn't necessarily income from a job. Get the instructions for the box it's in on how to report it.

mostly seems to be squeezing shorts, since "common sense" tells me that economy has been damaged and this market should just limp along to the end of Dec. Difficult when the technicals go against logic:(

This really bugs me that our representatives are so ignorant. True FX and interest rates will have a different schedule but the markets (world wide inc US) ARE open.:mad: :mad:
