do you really think understanding the greeks like a Ph.D. and knowing concepts and terminology like a scientist is going help you be successful in the options markets.I agree it helps to understand and be able to determine volatility since that is necessary to implement certain options...

I planned on shorting GMCR recently - would have made 3-5 points depending on which puts Still think it will soon be a decent short as we go into late summer. Please let me know when you think it's a good short; hard to go long here as I don't want some fundamental news to implode this...

I will reply further later, but was wondering why "I'm old" and a "I'm a slow learner" are relevant. Now, I would agree that over-analyzing is not a recipe for good trading. It means you are trying to be 100% certain before making a decision (puling the trigger wither to enter or exit) in a...

wow. so charts absolutely don't work because everyone has them and then why doesn't everyone make succeed. !?' There is a convincing argument. So back in the 70-90s when I was using charts, someone forgot to tell me that they do not work. When I studied T/A at the CME, I guess all...

explain to me how paper money has any value?? When you are in real time you will have no way of knowing if you will keep the discipline or plan OR whether you will decide to leg out of one side... at exactly the wrong time. You'd be better with a one (1) lot trading rather than paper...

one thing you forgot... traders are not pompous and have learned (often the hard way) to be humble. They also do not make sweeping generalizations or submit that a certain dollar amount (i.e. 500K) is necessary before someone qualifies as a "trader." Further I would submit that many good...

what's your analysis on SINA tyia

I am trying to figure out what attracts so many psychics to the ET forums? You can see the future and know what other people are thinking; that's quite a talent. Like, for example, you know that now shorts are getting scared. Who told you that? Is it inherited?

so if this is your "gut feelings" -- -what position did you take to benefit from such a move? You didn't say

you know what i find so interesting? In every "generation" of message board posters there are always those who make these black & white statements or missives as if they know the future, such as "cancel all longs"!!! OR "Sina is going to 128." No offense, just an observation, but it is a...

how the H could SINA not be up big today?

a couple thoughts... based upon my non-scientific 'gut' feeling (which may not be as good as those of you who have superior fundamental analysis skills) 1. RIMM moves higher and fills the gap from recent announcements 2. RIMM has an 'island-ish reversal' before filling the gap due to...

RIMM was up today? Why?

Yep It is RIGHT around the corner! So are you going short today? If so, what stock or index

I have a market call... I think the markets are going to go up and down this week, and next. Anyone agree? !

if it hits 128 - I am gonna kiss you!... or would you prefer I buy you a Porsche lol

can you translate that into English. TY

so you made a few pennies going contrary to trend... good job. what would have been your profit IF you had gotten on board last Tuesday.. and held until today, with stops? bonne chance

what I meant is: the risk/reward of a 'reversal' or pullback increases........ what I was taught at CME was to look for a topping pattern such as a key reversal. Now, maybe that's old school and maybe things have changed in the markets. Has human nature changed in past 2 decades...

look at it this way: the risk/reward increase in the minds and models (and hearts -lol) of some traders as the market becomes over-extended in one direction. What I was taught is to decide if I believe we have a "healthy" trend or another FAUX trend that is the result of the 'media' or...
