I bet the farm on it writing puts.

Did I say I was gonna do it? No. I said I can that is if I even cared enough. In fact I forgot all about it the next day. As sad as it may, certain figures within any firm have to monitor traders' P&Ls. Yes it is a concern of the firm to know how their traders are doing. So why don't you...

I don't get it. You shorted MMM on Wed but you could have shorted almost anything on Wed and make serious money. I would not get too carried away.

Thats all done with. There has been a little shakedown. The LLC is still there but it's 2 different guys running it.

And yet, Don still manages to squeeze in some promotion. Amazing.

Wow these have the makings of great trades even intraday. When do you plan to cover if you did not already. BTW I love pullbacks/reversals. For intraday, it's really all about the time frame and volume. Many times a trade becomes a reversal and then there is a pullback much later in the day.

Well there are a dozen of high volume stocks moving for points everyday. They can easily handle your 5k shares. These point plus moves are not that hard to catch and do not require the break out moves. If you are good at calling these breakout moves, I would suggest risking your money on...

In all honesty, Congress has been very generous with their current unemployment insurance practices. Most of those ppl are barely looking for work or refuse to lower their standards. The job market is tough but not that tough. It's not 20% unemployment.

There is very little Bush can do. It is not even his fault, but the beloved Clinton administration's. People are just stupid.

Say what? You have a 12:30 signal that might be a sleeper till later? Thats like saying there is gonna be a move but it might be sometimes later. WTF does that mean? The more I read your posts the more I think you have no clue whats goin on. Anyone that actually believes this joke...

WSJ? No way, that paper is so mass marketed to mom & pop and very opinionated. It's really for the dumb money unless you only take out the straight bare facts. I would go with IBD. It is a higher quality paper, somewhat educational to newbies entering the market and less promoted to mom...

There is a controversy about this sizing down principle because most of the traders use it and still 90% of the traders do not make money. So obviously, the way this rule stands, it does not really work. It's basically not as simple as it sounds.

James, I dont think u really understand. No one cares that much. That is because noone believes your calls or even truly believes you really trade. And even if you are for real, you capitalizing on your "correct" calls in the worst possible way. I think I speak for most ppl on this...

Ok now realize that the economic effects lag the president's term by 3-5 years. So you can thank Clinton for todays job situation. Look as shady as republicans are, they get stuff done. If Gore was elected president, man we would have been in a true recession. It's more realistic but at...

Dow at 30000 in 5 months. I GUARANTEE IT.

The fed annoucement nosedive was strongly in your favor. But excluding that, you got a risky position. If I were you I would cover, just because I think that nosedive is a fluke and there is a very nice profit lying on the table. You will always be able to re-enter.

Whats your current average entry price and where do you plan to cover?

Oh ok, I understand. You can generalize me into the buy and hold perpetual bulls but when I flip the script you reply with quick defenses of your trading style and light insults about my reading comprehension. Humorous indeed. trade-ya: You do not trade equities intraday. If you did...

So if ur hitting the wrong trades and then you see a great trade, should u size back up or keep reducing size? It's nice to apply math/stats to the idea but the reality is that the trading mentality changes and emotions start to take over. Thats where these bad streaks and blow outs really...

It's just institutional desks exchanging blocks between themselves. Most of the time, they want it printed within the market so thats why you see these blocks go off. They call up the MM/specialist and tell him that we have this exchange at this price, can you please print it in the market.
