    Poll Next Week Bias: A Crash Would Be Nice

    Yeah. A little scrambling going on by longs here. The slow but steady sell-off and non-reassuring pattern's along with continued dollar strength, Euro weakness, commodity weakness, and gold strength. I am looking at 1023, 1008, 998 as support in the spoos. Op ex is next week I doubt we...

    Weekly Poll: Longs Remind Me Of My 72nd Birthday When I Went Water Skiing

    Actually the range was pretty normal it was just that it did it twice in both directions...... Fear. Looks like more downside ahead. Two plays: Gap it lower sunday then squeeze and sell into the squeeze or take it up slowly squeezing higher for the next leg down. But I do not see how we...

    Placing the Blame as Students Are Buried in Debt

    From what I remember college is where I learned to party and socialize. Sure high school helped but college was where it came to a fine point. It would be cheaper perhaps for these kids to go to the pub. Nah then we'd be a pig---Ireland, HA!!!!

    Placing the Blame as Students Are Buried in Debt

    As part of my education I tutored and all I can say is thank you. Why? I had no idea about the spectrum of ability. There were some people who found the mathematics of flipping burger challenging. Reminds of that alzheimer's joke ....at the local Alzheimer's society club, they liked my...

    U.S. To Hit Traders, Money Managers With A Tax Shot To The Gut

    If you pimp em' out before 18 itsa twofer. That's why I have no trouble being a bitter hardliner. I figure my hardwork is what keeps us alive. As long as the wobbly legged folk lick my balls occasionally then it keeps me happy.

    Weekly Poll: Longs Remind Me Of My 72nd Birthday When I Went Water Skiing

    Weak. I mean a week. In another week a week of weakness. Today my weakness was I couldn't wait. Not a waiter. Not a hater but maybe later like June8th, 18th, 28th, or even July 8 we'll see the 1008'ers.

    hey HFT scum, yeah, you. Watch this

    This is true. Scalping high frequency is harder and harder unless you can compete with a microsend algo. Swing trading still works because you just wait for the algos to reverse but having said that even swing trading is tight at times cause your target comes and goes so fast that the cushion...

    Weekly Poll: No Bias For Next Week, But Mother-in-law Tells Me To Sell

    I just watched a piece on yahoo by Roque and it says what I think for different reasons but the same conclusion. 990 -1000 in the SP500 and that this "volatility spike" is paring of risk which results in weirdness as to the macro shifts but in the end the bounce was just that and more weakness...

    Weekly Poll: No Bias For Next Week, But Mother-in-law Tells Me To Sell

    I am studying the RTH vs Overnight and the trading recently has been interesting to say the least. Let me elaborate. The Euro causes unrest and the fear of contagion. We sell here in the US it spills over into Asia then Europe. We send a price check down find support and rally. But the...

    Weekly Poll: No Bias For Next Week, But Mother-in-law Tells Me To Sell

    Volatility is crazy. 5% swings in the indexes. A smart economist and I forget who said all the presses did was increase volatility and that will be the norm going forward. From April 16th until now the volatility has just skyrocketed. Yes the bottom maybe in but for what 30 minutes, 3 days...

    What did it mean to finally "get it" to you? "Get it"=becoming profitable

    The thing to get is that 2 days from now the trend will change, and 2 minutes and 2 hours and 2 weeks and 2 months and 2 years. Get it? Trading is the easiest thing in the world and the hardest mostly because of the f*c&ed up psychology of having to basically plunge a knife into your own...
