Moderator: what do you think about moving this out of "Trading"?

I was just thinking the same thing... and these are apparently 'grown' men engaging in feminine drama and sophomoric nonsensical debates over meaningless issues. How did they end up on ET? The more I trade, the more UN-emotional I become. Less drama, more focus. Who really cares...

why the H did you post so early in the trading day. It's fricking amazing. Same guys on here as 15 years ago; impatient, impulsive and somehow believe that 10:30am defines where a given equity or index will be at EOD. Reminds me of 20 years ago when I thought I absolutely knew it all... but...

I am in Chicago with U S Cellular; been waiting for the release of the 9900 Bold but the screw-ups at RIM have apparently had to delay it as it took them 5 years to get the fact that they needed more powerful software and a device that would accommodate more apps. This morning the trackball...

so why the f-ck has the market and AAPL stock etc. been going straight up all week! lol

then why is the market going up-- I have puts on NDX, and as of Friday, on APPL. Yet the sucker hits 400 and NDX goes up all week.

after 20 years+ and having traded accounts close to 400K -1M, and now I am trading 25K (after a 6 year hiatus in my day job/profession), I can tell you from a lot of experience that it does not matter. If you have ability, skill, experience plus the intangibles you can do well with any size...

Forbes has been publishing crap for a month or two about RIMM being a $43 stock. I am really disappointed today. I traded RIMM for 3 months; and made some decent $ on options and stock and SSFs. I had a choice yesterday to exit my long Oct/Nov calls, short OTM puts, and small amount...

just a few pennies but its funny that I am always thinking of angles, and I thought - "why not take a shot n some puts". Never thought it would crash but I looked at the 205p @2.45 and thought "hmmmm... maybe it trades to 200 by Friday and that makes a nice st profit." Thus, if I had...

unreal this stock is another nasdas joke. so after all these years I learned something - buy a lottery ticket on a POS like this. I could have bought (and thought about ti yesterday) sept 205p for 2.2.50 but figured with TWO days left it was not worth taking a shot with stock at 208...

+4 Sept 215c - 1 Sept 210c i plan on rolling into October as I see NFLX trading above 230-35

i have a bullish position; but in a market like today and yesterday this joke is not even higher. Looks like this will be the last time I trade options on this one.

Ok. I have not traded NFLX ever. But I am sure some ETs do. I don't get this stock. I did a 4/1 call back-spread thinking there was an "outside chance" the stock might move up toward the earlier gap. I wasn't sure where the 'pinning' could or might occur although I had my doubts the stock...

was market up yesterday?

I am just curious what your problem is?

i am looking for a "relief rally" on Monday assuming no 9/11 terrorism over weekend. Further with weekly options on many equities it creates greater vola with option pinning/unwinding (on Fridays.) This week the market trended higher and thus it "made sense" that unwinding could or might take...

I agree It is hard to understand why we continue to "trend" higher. I can understand moving in "fits & starts" but the way it's moving I guess the downgrade and any other lackluster economic news is unimportant to the idiots. Didn't we just plummet a few weeks ago???!! Everyone...

a one-day rally does not a trend reversal make

take a look at RIMM cup/handle forming? I keep adding on PBs as I see it @ 35 in 1-2 months. Perhaps when they report on 9/15

"don't get emotional about stocks!!" LOL p.s. take a look at OIH and let me know what you think. I have large positions in OIH.
