Isn't that what analysts & TV investing personalities are as well?

I agree, but do not underestimate nyob. VIP and MBT were ran up open to high on Fri by nyob orders. There are also an increasing amount of institutional buy/sell programs that go through nyob. It's a vital tool but the easy step ups and market short strategies are long gone. Depends on the...

Service, advertising, marketing, I-banking, these are all US dominated industries. Look at Citibanks global locations, they are not messing around. This could be a corporate move to create a big American type consumer market in China. But this can only make goods more expensive in US. Plus...

LOL. Word.

You have no idea. The specialists make most of their money off the day traders nowdays being that institutional action is slow. The whole key to reading the specialist is watching him get long & short by squeezing out the weak hands (AKA day traders). But when it's dead, they scalp the sh*t...

If I said 5k would you believe me? It was very little, it's my first time trading it but I did make 200 bucks on it. :D

It's ripping now and Im long from 298.58. Nice call on the GOOG sell off guys. No wonder this stock is ripping, every other trader and their mom keeps trying to short the stock. Great job to the retards in afterhours selling this 10% down.

Ok now to correct everyone THE SPECIALISTS CANNOT AND DO NOT F**K WITH THE OPEN BOOK. PERIOD. That is not the specialist but other traders, programs and bulge bracket firms. Guess what, any one of us can do it also. I do it all the time but it's nothing comparing to what a super trader...

I see CNBC & all their guests are bullish on the YUAN. I thinking it's a sucker play to buy up YUAN right now. Let's be real, China & USA have a symbiotic relationship. Chinese goods get too expensive, less exports from China. Great link, thanks.

It's all about future expectations and GOOG does not give guidance. It's not clear whether their growth has matured. Their accounting isn't to clear either but thats another story. Stock is down 6% in afterhours. You all are acting as if this has never happened to GOOG before.

I've also thought of the baby boomer wealth that is going to be passed on soon to their kids. I dont doubt whether that money will jump into the market. I'm wondering about how much of that wealth is left from the tech bust and how much the current consumer debt held by their kids may offset it.

Thanks for an excellent explanation. And ppl say there is no useful info on ET anymore.

Never said it can't go up. But it is not a bull market with conviction and volume. S&P chopped most of 2004 and 2005. S&P was down most of 2005 so far. I think it's mostly short covers keeping it up. Now if the cash on the sidelines starts coming in, that would awesome.

Please explain smth to me. You're a super duper trader who makes $15-17 million a year and you still deal with bullshit problems that normally affect mostly smaller undercapitalized prop traders. Don't you have clearing firms & brokers just knocking on your door trying to get your business...

Are you also possibly saying this could be a conglomerate, M&A boom like the ones during 1960s? I think your idea is insightful but I could use more explanation.

Keep doing what you're doing cause you're doing excellent from what I see so far. It seems like your account is growing and with time you can trade through a better broker and get better commissions, software & services. You did not mention how much equity you hold in your account and...

Many reasons. First of all, a market order gets priority over a limit order. So it is possible that there were market orders sent into that 10k. The print could have also been negotiated earlier on the floor so you could have actually been seeing a delayed quote. Now realistically, if the...

No actually most of the time with this "strategy" you make money or lose less than following a stop loss. It's just that one or two times that will end your career [B] Completely the opposite, the emotional thing to do is get vengeful and keep holding by refusing to take the loss...

Better yet get some cheerleader strippers as these chimps pump up the market.

Are you dumb or just pretending? Where were you during 2003 when there were real & heavy buyers for equities instead of day traders, programs & hedge funds covering shorts. The volume is not there for it to be a real bullmarket. The retail & institutional cash is still on the sidelines.
