This is late. but I use $TICK

just like traders provide liquidity to the market, they provide liquidity to drug addicts. its all about function! :)

thanks for the heads up. I didn't see anyone else mention it, so I figure it needed to be said.

fascinating read. So basically, reconfirming our war on Bin Laden and 'terrorism' from the beginning is our war on a large part of Islam, notably the people who suffer the most (usually from despicable governments/etc). I've long thought we should've thought the war entirely economically...

Please stop it with the anti-'jew' talk. If you have a good point to make, you can resort to it without the anti-semetic bullshit. And fine, make a good point about how Israel's methods are rotten [just like our stupid war on terrorism], but don't undo it by subversively using it as an...

I'm not saying I'll ignore the signals either --- as long as things are clearly trending in either direction, I'll be there. But you're right, I don't mind feeling like I have a handle on the macro view. Its one of my flaws. Its one of my weaknesses.

So if indeed things go back to business as usual by the next fed meeting (another rate increase with the same message), do you think bull is done for good? My most optimistic gut says this is the last good bull run (it may last all of a week), if it is, we'll have for a few years. enjoy it.

So it looks like everyone here feels the same way. Who can call the first negative 100 pt dow day ? I say Monday, after the euphoria wears off. Tommorow dow will be up 48. :) heheh... lets see.

so you buy mostly 60-90 days out, or longer?

I'm learning quickly that the market tells the news faster than any reporter can, and that you must just jump in when the direction and velocity of the wave is clear, and jump out before the wave turns its back on you. Is this gambling? I think exit time is the most difficult part - so the...

Let me be the first to call it - I think we're going to have a few good days, then reality will set in once again. Reality you ask? Oil is approaching $75 again, and this is the why the fed needs to reduce inflation pressure. They'll stick to they're plan, unless oil backs off for some...

true - but realistically, stocks move by std deviation - not up 1000%, down 50% (although I'm sure it has happened). so if you have a neg. movement 20 points, you likely don't really want to be stuck with the stock you sold naked puts on - there's probably a reason. we agree though - both are...

By the way, I just checked 92014 (del mar) on zip realty, and there's still a relative shortage of inventory on the low end, and prices haven't moved down. Kind of surprising. When 92014 cracks (and it will), I'll be impressed. [and validated concerning my correctness of predicting impending...

I think this will take a little longer than 2-3 years to completely bottom out. I agree, its overshot.. but there's still pent up demand here -- hell, you're even talking about buying, despite how bearish you are. I think prime buying time will be in 5-6 years. I Agree, it will be quite a...

Wow... Looks like my 4bed home in Rancho PQ is probably worth 100k less too. Ohwell, I saw it coming. Not moving for a while.. easy come, easy go.

Favorite copper stocks? I'm looking at PCU... look at that dividend.

I understand. You'd be opening a sell short position (by selling in advance to having the shares assigned to you). The shares would have to be borrowable on the open market. Same with puts that get exercised. You'd have to buy the stock outright, and then 'sell' (the assigned) those...

I'm new to this game, and have been studying quite a bit. I started trading options for the first time several months ago. Had a bad experience overleveraging myself buying too much of the wrong direction at the wrong time. (isn't that classic !!!) Well, thankfully I didn't gamble the...
