I am now short 61,900 at various prices. Note the fake bids in the book that came in after 8am ET. This is a regular occurence in stocks with news and those bids will diappear before the open. These bids, if they are placed to influence premkt trading, are completely illegal. My securities...

The only power to coin money or issue legal tender is vested in the federal govenment. The Marianas Islands got in trouble with this.

"Keep the bottle closed" This isn't hard after 2.5 MG ....it becomes impossible to open...then I can go to my fine wine cellar....."Uh, sommelier, I'd like to see somethimg in a screw top, please"

Ok it's 5 xanax now, I am on my second lean cuisine, so i guess that's not too lean, and I missed my personal training session today because of this. ps.. i save the xanax for special occassions like this.. and ferris wheels

Yes, it is. I shorted a few ES on IB but I have prob lost 25k shorting the SPY on the way up. Perhaps we should develop the reverse Greenspan oscillator. After all, this is the guy who wrote glowing letters on behalf of Charles Keating saying how he really knew how to manage an S&L and they...

The question is whether the 1 million shares in the book GTC below 35 will stand up to any upgrades I just ate three 1/2 mg xanxax and may make it 4 or 5 if the tension isn't gone. The prob is that this year has been very bad relatively speaking. I am up maybe 150k and that was mostly in the...

It's mine, at least 100% of the loss or profit (loss most likely in this case) is. I did this once with HPQ and was short 110k shares (and down over $100k) before the open but ended up losing $7,500. Naturally, I have had some good winners or I wouldn't be doing it. What happened here is...

Actually pump, the doctor told me my balls were rather small and sent me for a testosterone test. Perhaps it's the thing hiding my balls that was just bigger than normal (and i'm not referring to my stomach). And...I am not waiting 5 days. I am out at or before the open. It's just a trade...

What do we do now? Reminisce my man, reminisce. You used to be able to sit on both the bid and offer in a cheap stock and print money in 1/8 th increments on thick stocks.

Nice call? I shorted 39,000 shares at $34.45 after hours and now it's $35.50. So I was on the wrong end of this. I really am more worried that someone will make an offer overnight. That seems to be my overriding concern about shorting anything these days. I could really lose a bundle under...

I have signed up and paid $20k for slot #557 on Virgin Galactic. The remaining $180k (or more if the price goes up) is due 100 days before the flight. If you wish to sponsor me, I am taking offers. Was thinking about Golden palace casino--heck if they buy a cheese sandwich maybe this is a...

Buzzy, The KPMG shelter was offered to me about 7 years ago and I turned them down flat. My first question was , "Does this transaction have a substantial business purpose?" They would not let you take documents out of the room , but you could have counsel with you. It was a meritas...

My prediction $35.10

Daal, My suggesting is to not waste your time asking questions here> I suggest spending a few thousand $ with an international tax law firm to get the definitive answer. start with www.meritas.org Don B is way ahead of you with hiding his secret assets, so I know he won't share the...

Look like a takeunder at $80 bill, right?

GGSAE, Dude, the flaw IS in the methodology. You have plenty of info on this thread showing why pair trading is not a winning strategy. So what if some people make money at it? The others getting upset that they are being dissed deserve what they are getting. They respond with anectdotes...

I feel the same way, but this guy was CEO of a major company

I know a very smart man who says all this ruckus about Wolfowitz is because he is Jewish .He also believes the term "neocon" is a veiled slight against Jews--like a code word. Comments?

Do we need any more ads for BT? This whole thread, the ads, Don's posts, rerunning an "interview." I would not be at all surprised if BT was the actual owner of this website. As to pairs trading, it's a great business model 1 ) Charge for boot camp 2) Charge for "mentoring" 3)...

This thread is hilarious.
