It's a contrarian indicator. Check the prediction on Sundays. They have been wrong most weeks. Trade the minis against them.

Thanks Arch...exactly what I was looking for.

Does anyone know of a free website the chronicles reverse splits? Thanks

QCharts has them...although the data is spotty at best. Most of it is there most of the time.

Amway has been around a lot longer than 1992, has many more representatives, higher revenue and a worldwide presence. Does that make them a better company than Bright? As others have mentioned here, if you want to post this question here in a serious manner, you have bigger issues than which...

I have not had this happen with stops but it has happened when placing an equity order directly. The message rejects the order as invalid but really the system has an issue. On the option side, the same error reads "Order Rejected - Unable to value contract at this time". My theory is when...

In Outlook, go to TOOLS, then RULES WIZARD, then click ADD NEW. You can make a rule that all incoming email be forwarded to a certain address.

bignatty... In response to the first question: You are creating a debit spread. Your maximum profit would be just below the strike of the sold call. Yes, it is still possible to profit from the position with a slight price drop depending on the prices of each leg of the spread. Margin...

I think a lot of that stems from having professionals handle the more important aspects of your life that require expertise, without getting into the minutae. I trust my doctor, lawyer, accountant etc...so why not trust my financial advisor? If the doc says I need to eat less of this and...

I have something negative to say about IB...the birthday card they sent me this year arrived two days late. I don't know how some of you can take this kind of abuse and remain customers. i hope you got yours on time.

IB by a longshot...based on your first post, they seem to meet your needs and it would be difficult to create a scenario where they are not the outright cheapest options broker a retailer could ever find.

The Market Maker's Edge by Lukeman is one that should be part of the collection IMO. It's not the holy grail, but it certainly fills in some missing pieces.

I do own shares of MIR. I was assigned over 5000 shares and have written puts for another 5000 at 7.5. I read McMillan's "Options as a Strategic Investment" and "McMillan on Options" as primers. I personally would not recommend anyone's style...not even my own to you or anyone else. I...

With most option sellers, the writer would prefer to have the option expire worthless as they are simply trying to profit from a move in the opposite direction. In my case, I am not concerned with the stock's direction. At the point I am writing the option, my goal is to capture a...

A few core holdings with more Graham/Buffett qualities and predictable financial outlooks may be PFG, TSN and AHO. I have holdings in each of these and like their long term prospects. I have a small holding in PFG and have bought AHO from 26 all the way down.

MIR is certainly not your typical Graham/Buffett play. It's really not a Graham/Buffett play at all. I used it more as an example of how derivatives can juice a position...but I did buy on fundamentals. In MIRs case, I had to dig much deeper to understand the business. At the time I...

Good to hear from you again. My partner has conversed a good bit with you over on Yahoo last year (or the year before?)... I think over some biotechs. We both have a great deal of respect for your knowledge and insights. I will check out the sites you mentioned. Best to you.

Your screen looks good to me. Some of the relative industry/sector historicals may need to be obtained from somewhere else. It's under "ratio comparison" on Multex but I haven't found a way to screen for it. You may be able to find other websites that would have the cumulative data. I have...

TA plays a very small role. I use Chaikin Money Flow to see where the motivation might be on a given day...buyers vs. sellers and I'll sometimes analyze the block trades and tape for anything unusual. In a downtrend with heavy selling, I have found that large cleanup prints are usually good...

1) I am generally not concerned with a stock's direction at the time I buy. I like to buy during a techinically positive event (basing @ support, coming off a double bottom etc...) but the valuation is more important. The Graham/Buffett approach forces me to look at all the pertinent aspects...
