Excuse me? What in the world is wrong with all you non stop weirdos that keep calling shorts left and right? When someone points out that you are not making a correct call cause it's based on absolutely no reasonable criteria, you consider them bullish buy & holds that are trying to force...

Well mom & pop kept holding on and on and I'm sure that will happen again. Stop loss orders won't prevent the majority from losing money.

Ok but how would that be any different from 2000? Sell orders are sell orders. Only difference nowdays is that we got short covers and quite a lot of them.

Just individual stocks during the day. Whenever there are buyers, at least half the sellers are shorts. In some stocks I trade on a consistent basis I've seen just 100s of thousands of shorts established. Then days later the stocks are a few points higher. It's just funny to me that...

I did not say everyone, just the idiot traders that keep trying to force shorts onto buyers in their feeble attempt to drop the market. There are tons of them. I dont even trade ES, I trade NYSE and I made my money and was done before 2pm. To be honest, I do not like depending on Fed...

hehe this guy is catching on. This crash all you shorts keep hoping for cannot happen because you all have to cover.

Ok well I look at it this way. You have a job that pays whatever amount of money that stipulates your standard of living. After a while you save up a mil or two and you still have that job. But your standard of living is still the same. So what is the point of having a million in the...

What?

My best trades are shorts, just so you know. But I'm not a moron who keeps forcing shorts onto a market that goes up. Especially when every other idiot wants to short the market as well. Hence most of my trades are longs. And like I said, I'm not leaning either long or short. Does that...

What? There are at least 2 threads A WEEK with top calling and shorts being established. In those threads, half the posters support the call and the other half are against it. The polls seem to show more of a split decision. Bottom line, if you think you are one of the few super traders...

You're chasing a move. Do you really want to short the last 25% of the move just to see the market open up significantly tomorrow? You do have to have proper exits as well. The real shorts were put in before the annoucements. Anyone shorting during that nosedive are just sheep.

Why is this so hard to understand? Whatever the state of economy, it is the past president's term that is truly responsible for it. Jobs are being exported out of here thanks to Clinton. The bubble can be partially blamed on Clinton. Everyone thinks Bill Clinton was such a great...

Hey congrats Make several calls and get one right. Hey, you'll work yourself up to 50% accuracy in a few months.

Shorting at the bottom always makes sense. Good luck

harry got a point. It really varies cause sizing up after a losing streak will pay off big time IF you keep your head clear and you take the right position. Problem is that traders get desperate and make themselves believe that they absolutely have to size up and get back on track. Making...

I'm looking at the chart and your entry and exit and I would not say that was a good trade, at least not for me. You made money though, which is cool. You should have got out before 11 pm. Overall Im looking at this stock and it seems like today it did crap. Not much to be made there...

In 2000 right before the downturn of the market, almost noone was trying to short. In fact, people looked at you like u were crazy if u wanted to short. Very very different now. Half the traders constantly try to short individual stocks and indexes. Then they cover and get hurt.

That is not my point. The people in the book were living way below their means. Some of the "millionaires" were shopping in the same stores where people on welfare shop. My income multiplied recently but Im not spending ALL of it. I increase my standard of living expenses proportionally and...

This guy reminds me of mrmarket.

Don't even bother. You are arguing with someone who thinks selling calls holds unlimited potential and limited risk. And regarding the first post, Funny how you think that most of the shorts have been squeezed out and half the ET board (if not more) cannot stop shorting this market...
