If you don't think the markets will go up on a rate cut keep dreaming. Hold your short and get slaughtered. Fed trying to get ahead of the curve once the market perceives they are ahead and not behind watch out. Must admit love the fact shorts have been celebrating all weekend only get...

Emergency meeting of the Fed tomorrow. Most likely they will cut. You just got kicked in the groin on your short. http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/meetings/2008/20080303/advancedexp.htm

"Yahoo doesn't bring much to Microsoft that the company doesn't already have. Both companies are leaders in display advertising and e-mail. We expect Google to continue to scrape away share in these areas over the next several years. We'd like to have seen Microsoft made "big, bold bets" (to use...

If MSFT and Yahoo could not beat Google on their own what makes MSFT think they can do it together. Sure it might help some but MSFT owns 90% of world desktops and can't beat Google.

Jones assuming you have 12 hours. They could crush the vol much quicker. So that is where your risk is. Also as mentioned there are easier ways to get the same risk/reward profile by looking at straddles or strangles. Alot less legs to deal with.

Jones I just did a detailed analysis through TOS risk profile. It may offset some but the numbers I gave you are accurate. On complex spreads you must use software or can get in trouble. Your idea looked great until I started playing with vol. You will lose unless it moves a good bit up or...

Just did a risk profile after seeing eaxctly what you are talking about. There is risk if volatilty falls which it usually does on most stocks after earnings. If it closed at todays price tomorrow and vol falls by 15% you lose around $92 per contract. That loss gets less as it moves towards...

Not risk free if moves up or down higher than your sold calls or puts there is risk

Dorman trading clears for Mirus I believe. You can do direct through Dorman if you choose.

You don't have to play for only 1 or 2% gains but you do need to make sure your risk on each trade is only around 2%. You can get much larger gains if learn to let runners run. But risking 20% on one trade gives you very little room to be wrong. To do it here and there is one thing but if use...

That means you can only take 5 stops in a row. Most will not survive over time trading like you lay out. Trading is a game of statistics. Even if you get lucky initially you will eventually give it all to the house. If can't trade with 2% and make money means do not have enough capital to...

The problem for a novice or any trader is in this type of market you must use fairly wide stops to handle the big whips. You can make a killing because the moves are so big but that comes with risk. So either trade small size or paper trade until you understand the risk.

I do trade ym. Can't give up my edge though.

That is if you are daytrading. Daytrading is a pure statistical game. The only way to win over a long period of time is by having a system with an edge. Less emotion less thinking about what you think the market will do is the only way to profit with consistency.

lol Even to try and think against the leemings will hurt you over time.

Trying to out think the market will get you hurt. Better to have a system that keeps you out of the white wash.

Not that choppy today. Seen much worse. To daytrade you need these big swings But to take advantage you must have your stops right.

Futures are much better trading vehicle for pure day trading. I trade both stocks, stocks options and futures. they all have thier strengths and weakness. But for a pure daytrade futures are the way to go better tax structure, easy to short, incredible liquidity, and trade much smoother...

I have enjoyed this thread. Some of the posts are hilarious. My take on Crocs. The shoes are one of the ugliest creations I have ever seen. That being said they are incredibly comfortable. I am not kidding you put them on and you do not want to take them off. I mean I disregard all...
