He probably needed to raise money to cover his oil position margins as it is falling pretty hard.

One thing you're not thinking about looking at fundamentals is pricing. If demand dries up for fertilizer from the ethanol subsidies being taken back, their earnings/PE could contract rapidly as their pricing power reverses. They're already price for perfection, it won't take much to pop the bubble.

The overall market is turning from a baby bear, to a roaring grizzly. As a bear market evolves, even the high fliers get hit. We're seeing this rotation happening in the last week and a half. It has only begun, the true selling in the market leaders has not been seen yet. As these start to fall...

I wouldn't be short those babies. Paulson just got his "bazooka" approved this weekend. Watch him start playing with it Via Goldman Sachs in the coming days.

Upgrades/downgrades are a bunch of BS. Do your own research and don't listen to the casino dealers of wall street. Who's interest do you think they represent? These babies: POT, MON are getting ready to tank hard. Get your ass out of them or buy puts/short NOW!!!!

I don't understand why this bothers you. When's the last time you were able to short naked. This rule basically only applies to hedge funds. I have never in my trading career naked shorted. I always have to secure the shares first. This is finally a good progression by the SEC. They're enforcing...

Exactly, there's a 1-2 week lag between market prices and retail prices at the pump (as inventories get cleared). I typically look at the gasoline futures and add a dollar to that to predict what pump prices should be. The other issue is, we may see a longer lag for lower prices as retail...

Another one of these posts. The trolls come out once a week. My life sucks, I hate school, I hate working, but I think I can trade with borrowed money and get rich, it will change my life. Everyone please support me and tell me how cool I am.

I did some work there a couple years back. The prices were ridiculous to me. It's out in the hottest area of Vegas, in the middle of the dry ass mountains. Then they have the fake lake and golf courses. I always wondered how long Vegas would be able to support the overuse of water. I think...

GS has the advantage of moving the market with their size/programs. I don't know how many times, I've seen Goldman selling hard driving the ES down, then buying the next minute, a little consolidation, then pop huge rally as they start bidding up. They are the market.

You better put on that trade then. Don't post in here for a pat on the back and then regret not taking the trade yourself. You better make some money this week. It's your account, not ours. Put this into action, put on that trade!!

If you're waiting for an indicator to tell you, by the time you catch it it's to late. The best way to trade breakouts is to just trade them, if it fails, stop out. The times you catch them will make up for the stop outs 10 fold. People think trading is a perfect science that there's a magic...

The problem is, no matter how many people say the fed is monetizing all these new government bailouts , Ie printing money.... all the banks are not lending any credit. The printing of dollars is going back to the banks to rebuild their balance sheets. For now, we're seeing deflation, ie credit...

A short squeeze is when the stock has an upward trending price pattern. Crox short squeeze has been over for a while. When there's a high short ratio and the stock is in a downward price patter, you can bet the shorts are right. The only reason it bounced last week is because the whole...

We're in a bear market. Financials are pretty much done as far as the fat money. Now the momentum stocks will get hit. Nothing should survive this market. The leaders to the downside now will be all the high fliers of the last 6 months. You're seeing market rotation.

Those shoes are so fugly. I don't know how that fad even started. They had good timing and did a nuclear bomb marketing campaign. Reminds me of the pet rock. One hit wonders.

Hahahah.

Government gone wild. I'm really concerned about the direction this country is heading. But I guess running 8 trillion in debt requires total control of the financial markets to keep the illusion in place.

Nice market reaction. :D

The nickel and dime increment is to bring the NYSE back to profitability. They can't make any money now because all the volume went electronic. So, they've decided to rig the game a little so they can make their now public company profitable for the shareholders. I wonder who the shareholders...
