Partial exit here at $40.40.

ADT reports tomorrow before the open, and I'm all over this screaming short like bruises on a typical Muslim wife. Current price: $41.85.

Here's the problem: Intra-day trading for quick hits is kind of like playing pro sports: <b>It's a young man's game.</b> I assume you're under 30 y/o (35 tops)? You don't want to find yourself with diminished trading skills at age 45, with a stack of unpayable bills and a mind full of 'woulda...

The Skyscraper Indicator By Victor Niederhoffer Saturday, July 15, 2006 Far too often, a company, country, or civilization builds a tall, lavish building and experiences disaster shortly thereafter. Start in Babylon, circa 2800 B.C., when the conqueror Nimrod attempted to build “a tower...

You're up 100 points now. Getting out here?

TGregg, I find the whole thing amusing but I'm still rooting for him to beat the odds, get the girl, and live happily ever after. I didn't intend to be harsh, although I suppose it might have come off that way.

You're off on your assumption that only 'sad' guys who aren't getting any would be entertained by your drama. Line up the biggest Don Juan playa-type dude you know, along with the most happily married 'love my soulmate till death do us part' dude you can find, share your story with them and I'll...

Very cool- I have some of those too. I should mention one thing though: If you're going out to Jan '14, the 45 puts at $5.65 and the 42 puts at $4.00 now look a bit better to me than those 40's at $3.10. Yours do better on drastic down moves, while mine (the higher strike/less decay) do...

Peil's got the mad skillz! So it turns out she's half famous. Begin typing "Kallie Loudon" into google, and it'll auto-complete her name for you. IMDB page and everything: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3928849 I thought girls like that didn't need to open an eHarmony account to find a...

More than a week has passed since Jinxu's last post. Up to his neck in quality vag, or drowning his sorrows to try and forget about his newly broken heart? My guess: Neither. He still hasn't met this chick yet, and probably never will (if she even exists).

Republican or Democrat- two doors that open into the same statist room. ...but if Ron Paul won, where would we be?

Rumors that Ackman has somehow fallen in love with ADT will not only turn out to be completely false, I doubt they were ever half sincere to begin with. BSD managers have been gradually building their short positions in ADT for months now, because they see what I see; Aggressive new competitors...

<b>FedEx and ADT Get Boost From Ackman Rumors</b> Two of the best performing stocks in the S&P 500 today can credit their gains to some speculative sleuthing, or guessing, by the market. The shipping giant FedEx Corp. FDX +4.37% popped 4.4% to $103.05 on six times its typical volume...

Nice call on the ES, but not quite as unprecedented as you think. Wild guess here, but perhaps you're unfamiliar with my journal? :p http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=210020&perpage=10&pagenumber=25

Bottom line is that I'm sticking with my aggressive ADT bear position.

Actually, I've seen that sort of thing happen repeatedly in the past, and HFT Algo-bots probably can't differentiate. Our market is now firmly in the hands of Hal 9000, Gort, and Bender. Not a far-fetched explanation in the least, thanks.

Right, but I still really need to know what the news is. The more it drops, the more I reduce... until I know what's going on. You know what would REALLY be fucked up? If this entire thing was all just a fat finger error/bots run wild, or the like.

At $42.15 now and I'm reducing some size in the face of this mystery risk.

Taking a good old fashioned anal reaming now, and don't even know why. Any ideas what the hell is up with ADT? Takeover rumors?

I don't know wtf's going on here, but I did just buy more ADT puts with the stock now at $42.
