    The Surf Report

    I don't know if it was one for the records, but the breadth of the last hour dump yesterday was AWESOME. I only base this on my own account, but my automated systems have made thousands of trades on nearly a couple thousand different stocks over the last year and a half (I trade any stock with...

    Market Wizards

    A quickie observation is that the MW group of supertraders is not so far removed from just about any group of traders. That is, a large percent will fail if given enough time. Taleb's premise, that luck and survivorship bias is the main driving force behind these celebrated folk's success...

    TASR trade busted on ISE!!!!!!

    Oh Shiite! You're short those puts from 15.90 now? Sux. I've had plenty of stock trade busts and they are a pain in the butt. I think it is only fair that the exchange nullifies BOTH sides of the trade! Sure, that would mean someone else gets their trade busted too, but it's not your...

    John Henry

    John Henry was about three days old, sittin' on his papa's knee. He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel; said, "Hammer's gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord. Hammer's gonna be the death of me." The captain said to John Henry "Gonna bring that steam drill 'round. Gonna bring...

    Bring back Maverick74

    I'm not taking sides, but I believe Mav actually did post Waggie's real name, address, and phone number and threatened Waggie with going to the SF public records dept and posting the marriage details. Mav's real name has shown up on ET before, and that isn't right, but that other stuff is way...

    From "The Legend of Piss Pot Pete." A crude and lewd little ditty you probably heard if you were ever in the American military, or knew someone that was.

    Am I Just A Piece Of...

    Even though my buff bod and six-pack abs are saying to the world I am a real man, I'm not afraid to show my feelings and sensitive side. I like to listen to a woman and cook her a fine meal if she's had a bad day. I'm a multimillionaire ex-pro football quarterback, but I still work hard on my...

    350 million shares traded at 11 30 with vix at 15.6

    Nope. Not me. I only trade stocks that are priced between $2 - $40 and the position sizes from $4k - $8K. I only trade with limit orders via an automated system. Occasionally I do get partial fills, like 125 shares of a $3 stock when I wanted 2,000 shares. Is that you? If it is, stop...

    350 million shares traded at 11 30 with vix at 15.6

    Just as a FWIW, lately I'm seeing good fills at the NYSE on limit orders. Probably 60% of the time I get better than my limit. Don't remember when that's happened before. On the Naz I very rarely do better than the limit. Good trading to all.
