TOS does this from time to time, and it can be quite annoying, especially when looking at historical price charts, and the price action is a flat line over 10 years because XYZ had a print at 3500.25 last november. One of the only gripes I have with TOS, though, so I guess I'll live.

Okay, I'll start by posting a very common scenario when I get into or out of a trade. I enter a limit buy order of a call option who's CBOE bid/ask is 5.50 and 5.70. I split the bid/ask, and enter the buy order at 5.60, and send it, and with no price movement in the underlying stock, the...

would you say that eminen is one of these white babies with "tribal ways"?

Maybe the Goldman guys took heed to the inverted yield curve in 2006, that left many just scratching thier heads, and shorted one of the largest leading indicators of the U.S. economy-- housing.

cool it, mathletes!

could you elaborate on the "volume on the left side of the chart"? maybe do an example problem with this formula so I can see the variables put in the right places. that would be awesome if you could make that happen.

I agree, the problems are too serious to be the regular old wall st. worry trades. The economy is in some serious trouble. Keep an eye on the financials and their "hocus pocus" balance sheets. If they can't keep up their balance sheet shuffle game, and we see just what type of skeletons...

Oil is a story that will never go away, not from this point forward. Statistical analysis of past wars will show you the correlation between international conflict and the price of commodities. Years from now, God nows how far from now, when we leave Iraq and Afghanistan, theoretically the...

agreed. Mortgage Crisis part deux hits theaters this summer. I think the sequel will have more of an international setting than the origional, which was filmed primarily in California and Florida. Worldwide Baby! :cool:

They hold the magical formula for making money in the market. Influence + $$$$$$ = 10x($$$$$$)

It will be an issue to every trader here if the once-docile long term dollars start acting like short term money. This WILL add to market volatility, which makes your job as a trader more difficult, whether we like to admit it or not. That's the point I'm making. Remember, the majority of the...

Simple concept. You take away many investors incentive to hold stocks for a year, and you get higher market volatility due to the shortening of peoples "investment timeframes". I bet we see ill returns for many big name mutual funds, while hedge funds keep playing the game they play, but with...

My biggest winner was Rio Tinto, last November. I owned 15 contracts of the Nov. $375 calls. The stock closed at $357 on Nov. 7th and then thing gapped up $100 the next morning. I netted about 76k profit. I cashed out at the market open, and decided to skip my 9:00a.m. economics class. I'll...

monty, I think this is a "play it safe" call by the analyst who sees the persistence of inflation due to the global demand dynamic. I believe he's right, but it might take another 20 years for the inflation adjusted price of gold to go from 1x to 2x. His "long run" timeframe is just such a...

I love the vaugeness of some of the analyst calls out there. The statement "Gold MAY double in the Long Term" is absurd. Let's have a concise call, not this psychic hotline bs. Of course gold may double in the long term. That means there's a 50% chance that in an unspecified amount of time...

Yo, datacruncher if you want free option research, go to www.schaeffersresearch.com , you can thank me later.

And behold, the money-saving power of being patient. PBR currently trading in the $72 range. Look, this is not a flame thread, nor is it an "I told you so" thread, but it kills me to see people jump on the back of a parabolic stock that hasn't had any real pull back. It doesn't matter how...

It's also mutually beneficial for the pit to exist because it's an instant pulse check on the S&P. You can see and hear what's happening, much more transparent than the electronic system with algos, dark pools etc. Any institution can instantly see what's going on with the S&P by maintaining a...

dude, sorry but you're wrong, google this guy and you'll find his outlook for 2008. heres a snippit: "Mr Kostin, who replaced the ever-bullish Abby Cohen as chief strategist in December, expects the S&P index to reach 1,160, which would amount to a fall of 27pc from the bull market peak of...

How long ago did he revise to 1380?? Bill Gross looks like what bruce jenner will look like in the year 3000.
