I'm fully aware that it's possible, even probable that we head significantly lower, that's why I am not committing to my full position right now, only 1/3

What about stockwire.com?

I have started to buy the UNG .. bought 1/3 of my position today and will buy more every 10-15% down.. 1-5 year hold looking for at least a 50% gain but that # will be adjusted based on trading action I will more than welcome a ton more selling in the UNG to continue to add to the position...

I have started to buy the UNG .. bought 1/3 of my position today and will buy more every 10-15% down... this time, no one on this board will talk me out of the position. Like the other positions, this is very long term, 1-5 year hold looking for at least a 50% gain but that # will be adjusted...

If you think it's going to go up then buy the VXX or whatever the VIX etf is

It was higher than 78 I believe, I remember selling VIX 100 calls during the height of the insanity.

Below 30 for sure.. if I were to guess the ultimate average would probably be low to mid 20's -- the VIX can be read a million ways. It depends if you're trying to develop a trading strategy based on what the volatility will be or if you're actually trying to predict market direction based on...

How is the VIX low? Obviously you haven't been trading for a long time because back under normal conditions when the VIX goes above 30 people think we've reached a panic capitulation!

During regular market hours I'm always at my desk to trade but pre market and after hours I'm usually away from the computer but there are times when I'll get pinged with an idea that I must just get into. What PDA or phone would you recommend to place some trades from and what brokerages let...

That's not the point, the point is 95% of this board had amazing reasons as to why we were going much lower, and all were dead wrong, like always.

This thread is evidence as to how listening to people on ET can lose you an absurd amount of money. I posted that I wanted to buy for a longer term trade on March 3rd, we bottomed March 6th, yet everyone on ET said I was absolutely insane. Shows the trading ability of the majority here.

I'm not asking for peoples opinions on the investment, I wouldn't start buying for another 8-10 months anyway. Last time I listened to ET posters opinions I missed out on a huge trade. http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=155760 So thanks but no thanks in terms of...

How can you invest in diamonds? Is there anything publicly traded that reflects diamond prices or is there any other sort of liquid way to invest in diamonds? Thanks guys

I think this thread encapsulates why most traders lose money. You waited until TODAY to get a list of swine flu stocks? You should have been buying Friday.. stocks like NVAX went up 75% already, thanks though, I'll sell 1/4 of my position to you.

Are there any Canadian traders here that can answer a simple tax question?

Hi there, I'm from Canada and just finishing up my taxes for the year. I trade through Interactive Brokers and receive the information for the proceeds and dispositions but obviously I need an Adjusted Cost Basis so I'm not taxed on the full amount of the proceeds. Is there any software that...

Uhhh, dropping like a rock? It's so easy to recognize which people don't actually trade on a regular basis on this board.

If you weren't referring to this individual then that's fine, but saying that people made "ridiculous" predictions for Bear and Lehman etc and it came true reiterates my point that at times people become legends when ridiculous propositions come true. Absolutely ridiculous predictions are...

Where did this guy make such predictions?

Meredith Whitney must think everyone in Canada is absolutely cracked out, what pathetic reasoning for his prediction. These kinds of no-names always make incredibly ridiculous calls in hopes that if by some absolutely miracle they win the lottery and are correct, they can start a firm, write...
