    Blood Substitute opinions

    This is not a promotion of this stock as it is a penny stock. Please don't take it that way. I'm inquiring as to whether or not anyone has heard anything on blood substitutes. I own some shares of SYBD - Synthetic Blood International and wanted to know other's opinions.

    POLL: What is your Profit Target Strategy?

    I exit on gut. You can use the price-volume action on an intra-day 1, 3, 5, and 15 minute candle chart to get a feel for the strength of the current run, or lack thereof. Better to take tiered profits on the run up then tiered losses on the way down (reverse if short).

    Boston Prop - Chimera v. Bright

    If you're going in with capital, Chimera pays 99% - according to the Boston office. However, they're asking for $20k (given, there's no lockup period) because I don't want to be restricted in terms of freedom of choice with my trades. Chimera's commissions are lower to start, but they pay...

    POLL: Do you employ options in your trading?

    I have traded for a period with and a period without. Between the two, I prefer the use of options as a component as long as I don't get greedy with them. Great example of time to use options was in August. Market swinging every which way - had you implemented strangles on several specific...

    Boston Prop - Chimera v. Bright

    Would I ever have to pay commissions out of pocket? If I grossed $5k and comms were $6k? Not that I expect to lose money. Also, Don, why do Traders talk in terms of gross? Sounds to me like people are trying to cover their actual skill with false profits.

    Boston Prop - Chimera v. Bright

    When beginning at a prop firm, let's say I put up zero capital with a 50% profit-share between the firm and I. Where do the commissions get paid from? From the firm's own pocket starting out? Or do they bill you for those?

    Warnings After The Close??????? 10-01-07

    No, I don't offer recommendations on things like that - too many external variables and IF by some chance one was able to predict one, there'd be no point to sharing that except to boost one's ego. I'm just pointing to history which repeats itself when folks don't learn from it. There are...

    Warnings After The Close??????? 10-01-07

    Do people realize what typically happens after rates are cut following a long period of rising or stable interest rates? Go refer to previous periods of time. Market flies for VERY short period (month or two) then drops in a significant fashion.

    Warnings After The Close??????? 10-01-07

    BOOM here comes the BOOM ready or not how you like it now.... HAHA, well, it's possible. I've never seen folks go from terrified to elated so quickly, nor have I EVER seen them forget so rapidly. Bulls can have their measly new highs, the bears are waiting and watching for the bull...

    (C) Citigroup

    Citigroup may be attractive now as the Board of Directors will not continue to allow Chuck Prince to act as leader of this company. We'll see a nice pop in the stock IF he is ousted.
