Damn. I thought my desk was bad. If its good enough for the VP, its good enough for me. I feel better about myself already. :D

Yeah, a million isn't much these days, unless of course, you don't have a million.

Nicely done

Wasn't 1502 a buy stop? Meaning if price rose to 1502 he would cover and be out? I think he also said if filled. I'm guessing price didn't reach there, and he eventually covered lower. No mystery there.

OK. Stupid mistake for the day. Went short at 1412.75, and set a SL at 13.75. Covered at 11.75, and forgot to cancel the SL. Yep, those trades on the little spike up at 13.75 were mine. Of course, I'm then long. Cover that at 12.75, wiping out the earlier profit. I wish the Transact...

Ahhh! Some days you're the bug, and some days you are the windshield. Windshield day for me. :p

Why is the FED meeting always it seems 1-2 days before jobless claims, PPI, CPI, etc. I assume they already have this data in one form or another, but why not wait until after these reports come out? I mean, why not in effect say, "we see what you see, and here is what we think." Instead, we...

The waiter in your example incurs no criminal or civil liability. He inadvertently learned of material non-public information from an insider. The insider did not intend to disclose the information to the waiter, and obtained no direct or indirect benefit from its disclosure. As the Supreme...

Optioncoach. Read this article from top to bottom, then get back to me. http://www.meyersandheim.com/insider_trading.html

Your kidding right? ML alerted the SEC. The SEC then went to court and got an order freezing the customer's account. Does that sound like something ML wants to base an advertising campaign around?

BLSH, I generally like the stuff you post, but you are missing the mark here. She wasn't charged with insider trading because what she did was not a crime. It wasn't because they couldn't prove it. It wasn't a crime. Period.

Jesus! The number of people here talking out their ass is amazing. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/marthaindict1.html Do you see the words insider trading mentioned anywhere in the indictment? JSL got it right again. As usual.

BLSH, you need to read a little further down the article you posted: "These types of cases generally involve bystanders overhearing conversations of corporate insiders and then trading on the information learned. Because the bystander has no duty to the corporation or anyone else, he may...

I scalp the ES with nothing but limit orders. I did 6 scalps today, with some entries being scaled in. If I'm going short at the market, I hit the bid and then cover by placing an order on the bid. So, slippage is 1 tick. Going long, I take the offer, and cover with an order on the offer. If...

This is why I don't like trading in front of news events. Fundamentals trump short-term technical analysis. I have no edge when it comes to economic analysis. Hell, even the economists have no edge it seems.

FYI, Philly Fed Survey at 12:00

Yeah, I'd like to know where they get those numbers from. Anybody here been asked to provide their net worth to some stranger calling on the phone lately?

Yeah, how about that Chicago NAPM # last week.

Now, that would depend on your time frame wouldn't it?
