Disregard. I just woke up before then. Must have been a dream, and the language was different, too. That was a strange one. minies... DOW, S&P, and NASDAQ futures are off now, though, 4 1/2 hrs before mkt opens/ English mkt off a third per cent; French off a half per cent.

Recipe for an economic black hole ? (Sorry, a little aside to this thread, but drivers for trader consideration for shorting now may be the same conversation for putting on the big put LEAP. This is the time of the year to REVIEW, look at CURRENT, and consider the FUTURE as seen below in the...

Check them futures out DJIA off 1 1/4% and S&P500 edging up to there. http://www.cnbc.com/

LOL. I was bad at arithmetic, but I think I got that one figured out ! You're funny. My question was rhetorical as I was trying to be funny closing my last post. I entered into the beginning of that post with hangover blues and swearing to stay away from yours.

flipancy: (which means flip flop) or was it flip chart ? Dunno. Oldtime, never invite me to your @#*# birthday party again. Ok where was I ? Oh, right, I was about to flip my chart for your visual edification: ..... ......so you are about to see on my flip chart the stock plots...

m22au.......Thanks for the S&P500 / gold explanation. Eagerly read and appreciate the clarity of your narrative. I will jump on the links of your post after it. Thank you for your consideration.

There is the structural, economic whirlpool the USA is spinning down into. But there is also the demographic one, too. They are inextricably integrated. Arguably, leadership could mitigate and put us into a corrective, remedial course of economics that would positively influence the...

I am sure you mean in absolute dollars. Because I move money in and out of trading accounts, I am focused on annualized rate of returns of each trade which takes into account time in trades, too. I also have RUNNING average rates of return that average rates of return cumulatively from all...

Thank you for the reply. I was being half facetious. With respect to jungle penetrator sounding like your friend, I won't go down that path. Here is the real thing, though. Jungle (or Forest) Penetrator. (Be sure to click on "SAR." I was in a FAC outfit...forward air controler.)...

(The above quote is from my last post.) Relative Safety to a trade: There are times I find myself adding a third and then a 4th layer (the latter infrequently). I do this cautiously by double checking previous work and looking for the obvious driver/s that may be propelling the widening...

Shame on me for not placing THE adjective I have been trying to apply every time I use the word SAFETY in the context I used it. If you go back for about a month, maybe more, my posts have been starting to cultivate a new habit of joining to the SAFETY hip the adjective RELATIVE. Thank you for...

2 1/2 Weeks after the last progress chart on Dec 3, the spread (gain) has increased dramatically. It does not look so much so on the end of the stock plot because this chart has larger increment between the horizontal lines in order to fit the plots in the same space. <img...

Thank YOU. I appreciate your abundant contributions to this thread. I am just now starting to go through it page by page, but slowly with so many other pressing issues I am always addressing. I am interested in your first post about short S&P and long gold. Other than what I see...

I have not read or scanned all the posts on this thread, and I apologize if mine overlaps. The above is part of a quote from 20 posts ago. I have read Mauldin for 5 years and his END GAME book last year when it was published. I read a couple of his newsletters every week for 5 years. Let's...

Two subjects follow: FIRST: I slipped into pairs trading in 2008 not even knowing it existed as a trading form. I had been day trading since early 2007 GS as the axe and Merill Lynch and Lehman as followers. I plotted all three on a normalized graph each day with their common starting...

Start a franchise. I know some good carpenters / craftsmen in South America. Can they be installed at jungle canopy level ? 150+ feet ? Jungle penetrator, repelling kit optional for fire escape ?

In my Puget Sound area, property tax "rate" is called the milage rate. (1mil = $1,000 of tax assessed value.) If the milage rate is $14 ($ 14 per mil) and the property is tax assessed at $ 100,000, then the tax is $ 1400 ($14 x 100). 14 = milage rate 100 mils (or 100 thousands) of tax...

Referring to quote above on my Nov 16 post that I posted on this thread and Charts of Note thread: It turned into a beauty (as of course I expect them all too....hehe.) It did what AET CI did (that got posted a day earlier on the 15th for a trade examination) .....just took a week and a half...
