definitely going to happen again, and i suspect we'll close at the lows next time as well.

i disagree- you know what happens to most failed traders? they become liberals, because they want all the free handouts that entitles them to.

they were profit-locking-in stop-loss orders that cascaded down. i guess you want to ban stop market orders too in your fantasy world. i'm fine with making the markets fair - (ie no sub-penny pricing, no queue jumping, no front-running orders, maybe even slow order placement down to hundredths...

+1 let's end the lies of a fat-finger causing this

i agree with the OP- yeah this graph looks terrible on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis- back it out a year-- can you say "profit taking at any cost"?

um, i think people like her are supposed to get a job at some point. get off your high horse and work somewhere, even if it isn't higher paying than your last job.

i agree, so make a few million in the next couple years and figure out a way to leverage yourself to the dollars demise.

because if you don't support illegal immigration in the US then you are clearly just a racist. at least that is the only argument i ever hear coming back.

why exactly was the status quo unacceptable? was it because we had the best health care in the world? because that's how I, along with every rich person and politician in the world previously felt. just link me to it when moore choppers over to cuba for his care- o wait that is right everyone...

shouldn't we first give them california- i mean aren't you supposed to sell your toxic assets first so you don't have to keep selling stuff later on.

how can we get out of debt when our plan for the foreseeable future is to continuously increase our level of debt combined with a demographic change that will likely leave fewer younger workers around to even attempt to dig our way out. the markets may rally for now, but if you are under 30...

hard to raise your consumer spending nominally when you have to imort millions of people just to keep your population numbers constant.

i would argue that you need to control risk and maximize your strategies profit potential. for me that is sizing up and up and up.

best places have almost no guarantees but pay out the best %. if you are gonna gamble (since 99% fail) my as well have as much upside as possible that other 1%. my firm gives a stipend each month you later repay when you are profitable (or don't have to if you fail)- but then you get 50-60% of...

it does not matter if it goes up or down afterwards, the breaking of the stops and the mini-rally that makes is the only out that they were really looking for. there are no real expectations of starting a huge rally after hitting the stops- they needed to hit those to get out of their already...

they push through everyone's stopouts because it then gives them liquidity on the way back. as they are buying markets for example they will just continue to buy until someone new comes along to grab that hot potato hoping to carry it up another price. once they get someone else to come in and...

i consciously try not to know what "fundamental" stuff is going on each and every day i go to work. if while i'm trading something "fundamental" appears- i try and flatten up as quickly as i can. i'm not stupid enough to think i make money off of "fundamental" moves- i make money on days when...
