What is hilarious is how quickly people "buy" Cramer's act. During the "lightning round" on this evening's show Cramer wiped his brow with a handkerchief at least fifteen times; yet nary one drop of sweat was noticeable. Cramer's whole schtick is selling a image that he is working hard...

Since 911 the Feds, at least in the U.S., have cracked down on the off-shore ATM tax evasion scheme. The computers are set to red flag consistent withdrawls from US-based ATMs originating from notorious off shore tax havens. Here's the where the Feds are devious little MF'ers. They'll...

As of this evening's show (05.31.05) Cramer is bullish on high beta technology. In particular he touted BRCM, MRVL, CMGI and TIBX. For the record, Cramer was aggressively touting TIBX at the end of 2004 just before it preceded to lose 50% of it's value over the ensuing five months...

The notion that Buffett is "shorting" the USD is a faulty one. Buffett's businesses, as represented by BRK, are "USD-cows". What is the net projected annual cash flow of BRK's businesses less BRK's short USD position? My guess is his businesses take in far more in USD annually than BRK is...

Yeah, my office is comprised of three "buffett" tables bought at Kohls for $20 a piece. That's 54 square feet of space at just over $1 per foot. Glass? Maple? =sales... not trading.

It is "overvalued" and there was a ending diagonal / falling wedge on the intraday charts at yesterday's close. Everything AH yesterday and PM today was a gift to those looking to position on the short side. :cool:

I like that. Discipline is something that happens one trade at a time. Discipline isn't something learned or acquired, it is something practiced.

REG (all fo) SHO is balony and will be temporary. Uptick rule should have been abandoned in the nineteen sixties.

If one were to "gauge" the market only by Cramer's stock / sector selections on his show; one would think the economy passes through three or four business cycles per week. One day the data is too good and the Fed may need to increase the pace of tightening: Cramer: "Oh no. The...

Treasury market is acting very much like the stock market's response to Greenspan's famous "irrational exuberance" speech. That is-- they are ignoring the Chairman's warnings about being overly-exposed to duration. It took, what, six years before the stock market finally appreciated AG's...

Right here, right now baby. Ring the register and switch sides. Just like they were too bearish at 4.6%, they're too bullish at 4.1%.

From your .pdf: "Because I really do need to get ahead for the day, and build myself a cushion like I always do, I decided because the price just exploded up to my stop that I decided to move the stop yet again. B/c I didn't want to take a -$50 loss to start off the day." Here by not...

No edge. You need to go into every trading day with some kind of plan at least. Even if it is as simple as a maximum daily draw down expectation; anything to add some sort of structure to your trading helps.

I'll try again.. I have a EXCEL plug in that essentially mirrors streaming data from IB TWS. So if the last on the NQ changes from 1450 to 1451, EXCEL will reflect this change. What I want Excel to do is upon a change in price: 1. grab the previous price, 2. time stamp it...

How I use Excel to create a "streaming" chart using the interface between Excel and InteractiveBroker's TWS?

Asking $500. What's the bid?

Just do a google search on 'modern portfolio theory', 'efficient frontier' or something similar.

Where do I find, or how do I calculate, the "Greeks"? This all seems very simple yet the option boys apparently use funny words combined with math that incorporates more than basic arithmatic--just like the mafia use baseball bats--to scare wannabes from their "corner".

If it isn't a felony, I wouldn't report it-- however I would disclose the DWI with your employer. Now if your offense was along the lines of theft or something similar then I would think about reporting it. NASD isn't concerned with drunks; they're concerned about petty thieves who...

I'll play Devil's Advocate... 1.) Yes, very strong growth with relatively benign inflation. However, the Fed acted rather promptly when the pool of labor began to diminish in the late 90s. We are currently in a jobless (or jobloss depending on which stats you look at) recovery. Eventually...
