Damn right. If I f*ck up and hit "sell" instead of "buy", or 10000 instead of 100, or what ever else I do to screw up, I'll take the hit. I fess up to my mistakes. When you are in the market, it's a jungle. But when big players mess up, the little guy usually gets f*cked. The big guys get...

I used to think the same thing. But if you consider how there may be a very long chain of trades connected to the first one, where do you draw the line? The poor schmuck that bought the OP's stock isn't at fault. He may have sold it again, etc... No easy solution I guess... :(

Unfair? Sure. The markets have never been fair. It's all a part of trading. Nobody will take as good care of your money as you will . The same thing happened to me several times. Experience is a wonderful thing. Now when I experience a similar situation, IOW, a trade that appears "too...

I've had plenty of auto-liquidations from IB. They are amazing to watch. But usually I got them when I violated overnight margin on a bunch of autotraded stocks. Most of the time these were profitable trades because I can often catch trades near the low, or at least a little lower than the...

THIS JUST IN: There has been a bad air spill at an offshore wind farm! Damage estimates expect the slight breeze to be contained in a day or so...

damn pundings...

If you want a systematic way to apply diversified writing, Value Line has a reasonably priced service. They rank options for use in long/short strategies. Writing has been choppy, but buying "rank 1" calls/puts has done well over the years...

All my money is on Super Saver. That Borel is a winner! :D

Same here. Been with them from about 2000. Good reliable program and decent customer service. I don't like paying but their stuff works well with my systems. I tried eSignal for a while to get historic intraday, but didn't use it enough.. Guess I'll stick with Worden for a while.

Maybe you guys could help NASA out with that little balloon problem... <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IG8YLHiG_ZI&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess"...

Maybe not 50% per month, but a more realistic 50% every few years. I don't subscribe, but I've followed these guys for years. They changed their model in 2006, but they still list all of their signals back to 2001. http://www.timingcube.com/app/html?page=home

Best public school in the nation: http://www.ufl.edu/admissions/ But then I might be biased. :D A very small example of the student body, Kelly Carrington...

Pretty cool. Okay, I think I'm getting it. In the same way that a simple sail-powered device cannot move directly up wind, a propeller cart actually can move directly up wind. The prop-shaft-wheel arrangement can easily overcome the wind resistance. So when we move down wind, due to the...

I'm thinking of renting myself out as a bicycle seat...

Did you hear about the Greek boy that ran away from home? He was tired of being reared by his father...

OK I see what you are doing now. It's a decent way to trade if you have an ability to pick more winners than losers (big IF there, tho). I've traded that way a lot too with an auto order system. For example, an ATM next month long op with medium volatility, like 30, will increase in price...

Yeah she's gonna need a spankin'...a nice long spankin'... :D

I wish you luck, but if your account is up 150% in 90 days, especially in this (mostly) dull market ,you are taking on way too much risk and will soon suffer a huge (%-wise anyway) loss. Do you have an option position risk graph? Look at what your max loss is if things go bad... Good...

Doesn't seem much like an "epic failure" to me...
