    If you enter a high-probability trade and then the charts movement goes to 50/50, what do you do?

    Stop hoping, and get out, NOW! If the price is not behaving as expected, it is dangerous to own that financial instrument. It is flashing a warning signal at you.

    DCIX

    So, what kind of B.S. is this? DSIX had been bobbing around $3 for weeks. Yesterday it shoots up to 7 on heavy volume, and then today rockets up to a high of $26.17... a 1500% gain (yes, fifteen-hundred percent gain). THEN they have the nerve to call it a "post-election rally." Zomg o_O The...

    Dates for Earnings surprise

    A company doesn't "release the earnings surprise," they release earnings, and the surprise can then be calculated. Companies announce earnings once per quarter, on a specific date, typically either before or after the market closes. Before this happens, different analysts will try and predict...

    Intrigued by this question, I Googled around. Here's the best that I could find: $25/month. They've got a little API set up to import these data, so you should be able to handle a large number of symbols. https://www.quantopian.com/data/zacks/earnings_surprises

    VDSI - Vasco Data Security - Downspike

    Heya Peeps, I'm looking at the downspike from Vasco data security (nasdaq:VDSI) following their earnings. They went from about $18 down to $14. See chart below. Why? The answer that I've arrived at is a combination of reduced revenue and lowered guidance: - non-GAAP earnings: $0.09, $0.06...

    Can you actually be short on the market?

    This week the #1 force affecting the markets is the election. If you're willing and able to analyze the market response to the various political forces associated with the vote, then make a play. As @Robert Morse said, it's almost like making an earnings play. With the markets flying around...

    Do Forex prices underlie price fluctuations in U.S. equities?

    The Election Autopsy

    Pro-life bro. It's the elephant in the room. 60,000,000 abortions since 1973. That's a lot of blood. Life begins at fertilization. Hillary wanted to make abortion a basic human right. "Vote your conscience"

    Election Plays?

    DISCLAIMER: This is not a political post, it is a post about trading the election. Anyone here making any election plays tomorrow or later in the week? I'm debating whether I want to take a swing or two. Note today's SPY pop on the news that the FBI would NOT press charges on Hillary. This...

    Cyber Security Stocks

    Yeah... a history-buff friend of mine noted that we name our ages after our weapons: Stone age: arrowheads made of stone Bronze age: Swords made of bronze Atomic age: Nuclear bombs Information age: Weapons of news, data, encryption, and messaging.

    Financial Movies?

    Heya Peeps, What Financial movies would you recommend? Of course there's Wall Street, which is pretty well known. I recently saw Pi, which was a little out there, but still entertaining. Any others that you liked/would recommend? Sincerely, Keith :^)
