Calls been getting killed post FOMC...That nice VIX spike while the market was rising, then it just drifts a bit off the highs and the calls implode.

I can never trust those interviews where people talk about their positional bias. If you pay close attention, you will notice that the "big dogs" will declare their bearishness near market bottoms and their bullishness near market tops. Safe to assume they are simply trying to sell the...

You haven't heard of the "Salvation Army Index"? It's forecast 8 of the last 2 recessions.

What a shame, he had me entirely convinced that he was a libertarian.

Honestly, I cannot say that I am the least bit surprised by this guy's reaction. How much do you wanna bet the cadre of similarly "left bent" lunatics around here wouldn't have the exact same reaction as this guy? (dish it out but can't take it themselves).

This place is "The Twilight Zone".

Actually I think you'd be better off just looking at a chart of GS stock. Damn thing looks like its re-living the fall of 2007 (the "let's offload this thing to the bagholders first") kind of move.

And 24hr trading has also had an enormous impact.

Yes, the stuffy old timer that resembled Alfred Hitchcock. I believe his name was John Houseman and he also played the tough as nails law instructor in The Paper Chase, a great mid-70's film about Harvard Law School... Edit: Houseman did the Smith Barney commercials..."They make money the old...

That is certainly one way to trade, I suspect a lot of people on here will disagree with it because they will argue that it's "impossible" to time entries close enough to areas that will make it possible to take an immediate miniscule loss if the market doesn't move in your favor. It does...

Yes, but you are making my point for me. Blindly following the same strategy without respect for the volatility (implied/actual), technical conditions, economic reports, etc, etc...is just not going to cut it. drcha makes some very good points though...the indicies DO have an upward bias (over...

While I appreciate a skeptic or "realist", I think that you are venturing into "absolute's" with the "never", "impossible", "nobody".

I believe that Galvin is correct. This concept of "doing the same thing every week" or as the many videos out there call it "income trading" is really fool's gold. You simply cannot blindly do any of this stuff and expect to beat the market. On the other hand, if you can create a "system" or...

Let's face facts...the left governs with complete disdain for most of those states already. Is it any wonder they so despise the electoral college?

They erroneously assumed the "fix was in". The only explanation.

These guys have become the desperate "tin foil hat" crowd...A joy to observe.

No concern with your wild conspiracy theories.

You do realize that the biggest troll in the history of EliteTrader was ZZZZzzzzz?

The thing that concerns me about AMZN is that it has held under that 50d MA and failed a few tests up into there. When I noticed that a few weeks back it looked a bit more like the 1-2 month correction about a year ago. You obviously see the channel line connecting the highs and it now has...

Oh yeah, here we go with more of that "projection". I'm the one with high blood pressure? but you spent an hour digging thru a bunch of keywords to try and uncover this "conspiracy" that I am AAAintheBeltway...You really aren't that clever, Sigmund...In fact, I would have given you "props" if...
