To zxcv1fu & all you GOOG traders out there YES you're right. I was gonna cover 1/2 but decided to cover it all & see what develops from here. The 1st hour range was 281.90 to 283.70 on GOOG in a weak market. GOOG traded inside that range (except for minor break to 289.42) until...

NO - Its like a service fee. They say it cost the,m money for every cancelled order (there's really no such thing as a modified order with them0 GOOD LUCK WITH THEM _ I USE THEM BUT TRY TO DO MOST OF MY TRADING ELSEWHERE because they have a bad platform & bad service (I've been cheated a number...

BELOW ARE MY POSTS FROM THE FOLLOEING ELITE TRADER thread ------------>GOOG Ready to Retrace ? tradertony76 IF IT WERE ME I'D TAKE PROFIT IN AT LEAST 1/2 OF THE POSITION REMEMBER THAT SINCE YOU ONLY HAVE 1 WEEK LEFT YOU SHOULD RAPIDLY LOSE TIME VALUE. ========== cowpok1027...

I don't understand your post -WHY are you putting out a discussion of MAR going to $65 if you trade only from the long side & MAR is over $68?

If your holding this large a position, not just day trading it, you should call the company & get something out of them. I once got lots of cigars from consolidated cigar this way in the olden days. These days you gotta file a 13D with the SEC @ 5%

To Mr z & all you GOOG traders out there - Basically GOOG's been down 5 days in a row (ok it was up 30 cents on 1 day in which its range was lower). So why should I be nervous over my short ? #1 - I love to take profits & hate letting winners turn into losses. #2 - Institutions...

WOW !! GOOD LUCK !! 2 ??'s #1 - Why so many ? Many small mutual funds don't hold that many #2 - What are you using for selection? For what its worth I've rated your holdings as I see it as follows: KEY ---> p= possible winner y = Yes, Good Pick yy= Excellent Pick ATMI 100 @...

You seem to be a knowledgeable trader but i can't understand how you can be comfortable going off with positions on & not be able to act on them during the trading day

YO zxcv1fu ----> A ? Where did you come up with your # for month's low? For August I have 288.10 as low (before today) which happened on 8/1. If 288.10 is correct then we just made a new low for the month !!

We're looking good Mr Z -> with GOOG breaking 288.50 I'm staying on the train south ---. hope your options are moving too GOOD LUCK & GOOD TRADING !! PS I'll re-calculate tonight but my previous key numbers (previously posted) are in effect NOTE - LOW VOLUME DECLINES ARE USUALLY GOOD FOR THE...

On day trades: If you're day trading you almost have to be in there with orders in the AM but I rarely place orders in the 1st 15 minutes except where I can find a European actively traded stock @ open with price that moved over there & I can get it near previous close (below FTSE/DAX/CAC) on...

Glad to hear your well educated on options zxculfu It just after 1:30pm & GOOG down but in a pretty tight range on low volume --> I'm still looking for the break below 288.50 today to get it really rolling down hill

Scalped BIDU this AM ----> In @ 99.00 Out @ 99.45 I feel lucky I was caucious as BIDU is plunging this PM (on very low vol) which is a bit suprising given the YHOO deal just announced; but GOOG is not seeing much buying demand either (see my GOOG post)

I agree opyions are great tools but you"ve got to know your technicals & Greeks to play consistently- with a profit. For GOOG: Do you know what the Theta (Change in the price of an option with respect to a change in its time to expiration is? i.e. Time Value. Do you know what the Vega is...

sorry seaside --> forgot the BIDU part. 1st -- No I didn't get rich on Day #1 trading it (see my GOOG posts for the real deal on my good trades on it). 2nd -- BIDU looks like a very good trade - I'll probably be able to tell you more tommorrow

Hey seasideheights My take on BIDU below but 1st I gotta ask --> Are you from Seaside Heights, NJ? I grew up going there & Asbury Park, NJ in the summers (God Bless Bruce -- and John BonJOVI too).

Barron's or On-Line @ IPO Monitor Good Luck !!

I've traded GOOG on the upside 3x via stock & option purchase as follows 1st - 4/20 @ 198 & hedged with OTM call with the stock @ 230 on 5/11 (lost some of possible profit but it was my first GOOG trade & I needed to protect a nice profit) 2nd - on 5/18 bought in the hedge with the stock @...

SEE MY PREVIOUS POST TODAY --> KEEPING MY STOP AS NOTED Well, I did't pull the trigger on GOOG cover of my short near the close because the institutions were selling into the last 1/2 hr rally. I'll be looking for GOOG to pierce 288.50 tommorrow but if it finds good support there again...

I agree GOOG is bearish right now (@ 290.40 3:20pm------> I went short the stock on 7/22 @ 305 near the close as bearish reversal on above avg vol took place (NOTE I play options a lot but GOOG's are very expensive). Just put in new stop alert (my computer rings a bell) if GOOG pierces...
