rofl, what the fuck are you talking about?

holy shit what happened to solf? it's now hsol and at $4? did they do a split or something? i got out at $10 beginning of year and remember regretting it. So glad i forgot all about solar...

should just sell the whole state to the chinese in exchange for knocking a few percentage points off our national debt.... the chinese has zero tolerance policy on crimes, so let them shoot all the gangbangers in detroit and rebuild the city. then once it's good again, we take it back...

vix 31.87, looks like ~13 pt rally (tomorrow + wed open) will be breakeven on the 27.5/30 short vertical. still think it's a pretty risky trade given the irrational market right now.

atticus, i thought you were pretty big on risk/reward ratios. that's risking 2 for 0.5 gain. Win probability is high but we could have a gap up in this crazy market monday and hit it. Havent done any vix so maybe there is something fundamental i am missing, can you explain a bit more why...

a big mac in minneapolis minnesota is $3 not $17, the american worker buys the big mac at where he lives not fly across the atlantic to zurich. That's <1hr min wage, pretty reasonable cost of living to me. everyone knows the story behind the dollar and its gradual loss of buying power, but...

either pullback before ~1000 is hit as everyone is watching that now, or capitulation after 1000 is breached. 2009 all over again, went through key level 1100 like nothing, down ~20 more pts now lol. Tomorrow open will be hell. Going to watch some southpark to mentally prepare myself!

1100 JUST HIT AND BREACHED Reversal starts in 9...8... :p

es down 30pts, i thought friday was capitulation. Did the sp downgrade really cause such a selloff, isnt it baked in already. what's happening!

you are ranting about manual intervention in an ats. we are comparing different phones for regular/discretionary trading, and the topic of this thread under hardware... so take the soapbox and GFO, you are not even in the right stadium.

Functionality wise IB app is shit i agree, but i have the opposite experience with iphone vs android for the app. Everything works great on 3g/4glte on android while att iphone constantly gives network communication errors. Didnt notice any lag (hardware+network) on android either. Havent done...

5-10% account value on leap sds call options in uncertain market like right now. This is not investment but a hedge, if shit does hit the fan you need to know when to pull the trigger and get out to lock profit. It's a leverage on a leverage.

iphone is better and gui more stable. I had incidents where the android gui froze or the actual phone icon just vanished (forcing a reboot). But android is definitely better for trading: 1) Verizon 4G LTE 2) Stable connection - i am not sure if it's because of at&t or iphone, when I am...

Get the intel ssd, they are the benchmark. I did it a while ago on a 15" mbp with the older intel x-25m version. Loads osx in 3sec and win7 ultimate bootcamp in <10sec. The 510 should be considerable faster than x-25m...

looks like senate and house are rejecting each other party's bill lol. Next week's setup for the market will be interesting. 0 chance US will default either way but the market may not care. I long 20x sds aug 21-22 strangle in my 401k at $2.3

atticus, cant tell if you are being sarcastic. Did you really go into this weekend with a short straddle?

Yes exactly that was my question, if it was a strangle it would be relatively easy by shorting the underlying afterhours at certain delta ratio you are comfortable with to lock in profit and you are pretty well hedged if the stock continues to go up. But for a calendar spread, how do you...

I was experimenting with aapl earning too Atticus&co, How would you trade this afterhour? I opened below double calendar spread pre-earning. Afterhour aapl hit 405 which i believe is my max profit, unfortunately I am not sure how to lock in the profit with underlying afterhours. By the...

short term safekeeping: usd, easiest and liquid currency in the world to get anything. long term value: chinese yuan, already hit <6.5 per usd. Was 8 just a few years ago. It only go up given the inflation situation in the dollar and chinese govt's obsession at controlling the...

LOL, chinese used to go crazy for gucci bags and levi jeans. Now the feeding frenzy is all about apple.
