Look @ this chart, looks quite bearish.

Yes the trend is towards wrap accounts and fee-based services, and fund of funds that outsource the portfolio design and management to various outside managers. A good business is a team of 2-3 advisors, one who is a CA or CPA and tax expert, maybe one who specializes in insurance, and the other...

So you think that Bush is a poor powerless weakling who cannot do anything to change the "liberals" in power? Get real, the media and corporations are in his back pocket. Oil and the rest. p.s. how the "easy" shorts doing on MRK?

TOL bounced off its 100 day SMA, and HOV off its 200 day SMA or EMA. Both of those lines are usually good support for any stock, on a daily or weekly chart. You got greedy - the homebuilders already had a long pull back.

SO AHHHHH, HOW ARE THOSE MRK SHORT POSITIONS COMING ALONG? What part about "near-term priced in" do you not understand? :confused:

I see TMBR is the PMM on these ISE indexes, scroll to bottom of page: http://www.iseoptions.com/products_traded_index.aspx

I believe that market making is the 2nd oldest profession... You'll probably have better luck in getting the 1st oldest profession to reveal their " subtleties"... :p

No issues.

As I posted earlier in the thread near the start, this was considered an "Easy" short just like GM was...if ya know what I mean. In that, every hedge fund piled in and lost! The sell off was overdone and this bounce is not surprising to me. 28.50 would not surprise me. :cool:

I think that would only happen on a crappy java based platform.

Hmm, MRK up a almost point from its low of 27 today. A 50% retracement of the down move would not surprise me, after that who knows. Depends how near term their liability is.

Just curious how society is better these days? In my city the air is so bad, most summer days we are under a smog alert, we have no room left to put our trash, the world is on the brink of WW3 or a never ending war in the middle east, much of corporate america is outsourcing to china and india...

"PROHIBIT TRADING ON INSIDE INFORMATION: We lose 20 to 30% of our revenue to insider trading, even in markets with supposedly strict rules against it. In some markets, insider trading is so bad that we have given up making markets for options on smaller stocks altogether. If retail traders...

What a riduculous statement. The most valuable institutions in our society (large companies, government, legal profession, media etc) have always been controlled by only the most wealthiest families and groups. Companies spend billions each year to grease the wheels of "democracy" via lobbists...

I took a look @ DAL chart, interesting, notice all the volume now? Something's up. Lots of gaps overhead. I don't know the DAL story too well Chart.

The hedge funds got burned on GM, the "easiest" short of a lifetime...will MRK do the same? lol :D

I was watching the MRK Sept 30 calls during MRKs 2nd leg down of the day, into the close. It was odd, they ramped the IV and held .40 like there was no tomorrow - huge size bought .40 As MRK plummeted even further it dipped to .30 but was supported well there and some more .40 prints went...

I wasn't trading back then , but I pulled up a chart of XLP - XLP CONSUMER STAPLES SPDR "The fund invests in the development and production of consumer products that cover food and drug retailing, beverages, food products, tobacco, household products, and personal products. " MO is a...

Sell off seems a tad overdone. Look at the tobacco lawsuits for example, and there are way more smokers than people who were potential harmed by Vioxx....MO still trades at $65+. I see MRK hit some kind of previous support level on daily chart. Perhaps it'll whipsaw back up if people think...
