Oops, they finally did send something out about 15 mins ago: Trading status update: http://stks.co/fSuL Following the link gets you to the systems status page. Wotta buncha tools.

I lurv that the CBOE twitter feed is completely silent on this. Watching Bloomberg News you'd never know anything was wrong. I guess this doesn't qualify as market news. Fake explosions at the White House? That's news. This? Nothing.

So, like, I developed a spreadsheet figuring there just hadda be a way to trade the VIX etfs. It had like 5 tabs with all kinds of interlinked info and complex relationships when I finally stopped. Never made me a dime. OTOH, directly trading VIX options has made me decent money, but only...

Best of luck, and thanks for everything.

Thanks! [/b] I would not say that you, or jem, or TGregg, are booze-addled, race-baiting, information-illiterate morons lacking in the judgment it would take to stop repeatedly humiliating yourselves in public. Nor would I say that you fuck pigs, cuz y'all might fuck sheep instead, like your...

Wow, you really are dumber n dirt. That was long ago debunked. Not to you of course, but the guys the FBI id'd a little while ago weren't those guys. These guys have been very publicly and emphatically cleared.

Still think Obama was born in Kenya? You're a sucker. Always have been, always will be.

I figured you jackoffs would be pathetic. You haven't disappointed.

You can "collar" it: buy two VXX calls, slightly OTM, and sell two VXX put spreads, also slightly OTM. Limits theta, gives you a quick boost if things go against you. Note that VXX is worth more per unit than XIV right now, so doing what I just outlined will severely limit your upside. It will...

Where's bwolinsky when you need him anyway?

Looking at your table, looks like it's a decent signal for being up in the next month. Past that, no validity.

You know, threads like this are a complete waste of time except that they confirm that most participants in the markets don't actually respect the markets. The first book I ever read on the stock market was called "Street Smart Investing", and was written right before the big bull run that...

May your generosity never lead you to poverty. Also, a gift for you, Daring, and the rest: You're Absolutely Right! Please, don't thank me. It's my pleasure.

OK, looked around, found nothing. Did find one from oldtime, and a lot of his wisdom though, so thanks for the suggestion. This guy, much lower quality stuff, but he does seem to post a lot in the same places as oldtime. Someone may be following the other around. By the way, don't do me...

Yeah, back before 2008 I used to make nice money doing this with Lehman. It was a beautiful thing. I still mourn its untimely demise. For the methods I use, there was never a more perfect stock. Sigh.

In any aggregate index up = a tendency to trend, down = a tendency to chop. So, all ya gotta do is figure out when it's going up, and when it's going down. What could be easier? :p

Rilly? Please post a P&L statement so we can all admire your infinite virtuosity.

Is it my imagination or is the possibility of a repeat of last year's drought not built in? Everything I'm seeing shows news re this that is not good. The url I linked to has the temp and precip forecasts for this year & they both show the middle of the country to be forecasted as hot and dry.

Cyprus. They taxed bank depositors fer cryin out loud, to save the banks. Something to do with not letting the Russians launder their money or somesuch. Stoopidest thing I've ever heard of, regardless of the logic.

Options expiry was last week, except the VIX, which is this Wed. Jobs numbers came out the Friday before last, although jobless claims come out every week, it's true. The Fed is this week, that's true. Overall, though, you need a new calendar.
