Happy Holidays ET!

trend is still alive. Where's all the bears, only a few days left to break the trend. Any last minute converts?

Estimates were dropped from a multiyear growth of double digits to single digits this year. Did the markets drop on the anticipation? Nope. One more null in the anti -logic driven market. And the operating earnings were horrible. Markets .. mostly up. Moral of story, don't bank on earnings...

"Average winner is guaranteed to be 25% larger than average loser. 3-10 trades/day." Why trade, when you could sell this system and be rich.:D

Well, assuming they heard that from the options traders, I guess now you know whether to believe what the options traders spread to the news.

if you are on record as a holder the last few days, you'll get it even if you sold today. However, you would have also seen that you paid the same amount if you had it today, by the gap difference in price vs. what it should have been.

Looks neutral right now. Similar to march climbing back up. Can take a while to climb all the way back to 60%. No guarantee it won't continue to pull back to the bear extremes either.

one thing i'll say about that if you are relying on iqauto. I don't think they are very accurate. If you know how to calculate the numbers yourself, go around to a few options chains and you'll find they can be very different from one another. If anyone here has manually calculated the strike...

or you could just use yahoo finance or msn investor.

You guys are on a roll today. Late to the party shorts getting a little of the old xmas roasting right about now. Let's see if it lasts into days end... any takers?

Made me toss my morning coffee. Can't tell if it was from ROFLMAO or utter fear, man that's a creepy santa. Did ben send him to fill day trader wishes for the year?

Great, thanks for the replies.

Can someone list a good free accurate site for options chains.

One more scenario, using perfectly "ideal" inversely correlated indexes. $1 ea investment. Long ETF cruises along, and cumulative gain breezes up, while short decays. One day, long takes a 99% (10sigma) hit:eek: . Because the weight of the cumulative index is hit so hard, the doubling of the...

Seems like a good hedging strategy on the surface. Assume you had 5% daily gains on SPY from this day forward (fantasy, yes, but for hypothetical purposes...) and had invested $1 in each etf since SH's inception. It would ideally look like this. Plus side is your cumulative gain would...

Pass the pipe. I remove any endorsements I may have mentioned earlier. What started out as a seemingly decent thread for debate has turned into one of the infamous ET appeal to lewis carroll's "alice in wonderland" argument based scientific threads. QED Piezoe, toss me some of that tea...

Here's an example of how many gaps were filled same day for S&P500 the last month. Only 2. Look how many are unfilled. I think the gap game is getting too many players, so they are taking that in consideration in normal days, and scalping gap faders.

flyfisher, I tend to like reading a lot of your comments as you seem to think a lot like the way i do. However, regrading gaps, I've been observing many gap fade failures lately. A lot of the gap ups have been getting half fills, then reversing and crushing shorts for a few days...

Elevator dropped of panicked longs. Time for elevator to come back up a few floors, and let out a few shorts. Loving the volatility today.
