Not "could" be your flaw. It is! For all of us. Trust me. I have been around markets 20+ years; being right is in the top 3 of flaws that rob traders of profits. It always amazes me how one trader can make the same amount holding a position for 1-3 weeks while another trades 300...

Do the market(s) actually have emotions? Like a person? OK. So now I get it ----- the markets "refuse" to go down (or up). LOL Like a kid who "refuses" to get into bed? The kid "should" get into bed. But refuses to. Like markets that "refuse" to go down!! Damn those markets are...

what has never ceased to amaze me since the 80s is how there are always those who post on forums about when an uptrend or downtrend could or might reverse or end... such that they can now take the contrary approach. It is simply amazing the human nature of the markets and some "traders" or...

OK

lol another know-it-all i didn't short anything. Just took a few off the table... too soon. lol If you read my last few posts you will see that I have called for NDX to be significantly higher... and stated that July is the most upside month of the year. .. historically! Did...

you know what I learned from the 80s until now... ? The market is the best teacher for so-called idiots... and IF indeed he is more than a troll, the market will teach him that there is a character flaw that must be corrected lest he loose everything... and I don't mean just money. I mean...

nine_ender No offense... but after 18 years+ I think I can make this comment... ... you are never gonna make any money trading with your attitude. Trading is about character, courage and focus AND control of one's emotions. If you get that angry on a message board how can you...

just curious why would you really care what anyone says?! Sounds like you are really angry and ready to beat the guy with a baseball bat. WHY? I never understand online anger. It's a joke if you really think about it philosophically. Particularly on a trading board where people need...

i bet you made a ton on SINA given to went from 79 - 103 and you are looking for 108

SINA otm options are not being marked higher even given this +3.... probably given it is nearing resistance and the long weekend. decreasing vola or..... maybe due to Li Na being knocked out of Wimbledon in the 2nd Round.

here is what I think happens... the markets GAP higher tomorrow morning... then reverse and close lower. However it won't be a key reversal; just, as you note, a selloff in front of a long Holiday weekend. let's see if I am right OR if the markets gap lower from the jump.

Is RIM being up today essentially "the rising tide raises all ships", or something more positive? I think it's a good idea to keep an eye on options volume and note if any large purchases of call options are transacted, as that would be a precursor to a "buyout" (although I don't see that...

why do you say "massive" profit taking instead of "some" profit taking. What is it that leads you to believe there will be massive profit taking? As I posted recently on another thread "Thoughts about RIM", JULY is historically the biggest upside month of the year. Thus I think there...

what happened to your thoughts that "risk of retrace to downside is higher than upside." No disrespect, and I don't like to pick on or criticize people I do not know... but your postings are essentially worthless... other than they report the news of what happened that day and some price...

well I cant strongly disagree with you... having lived through so many meltdowns in the market including 207-2008 when the DOW was in the 6000s. I am a contrarian with stuff like RIM; smetimes it works - other times you catch a falling knife. Let me ask you to play devils' advocate - can...

had a different name... I haven't been on this site since 2006. ammo - were you here before 2007

what's your take on MELI Looks like it has hit support

I was looking at GMCR but being a contrarian I think it is a short by end of July/early August... It more of an investment stock than a trading stock... for me.

JOYG is not in a ST downtrend ? So its 'pullback' from highs was a "correction"?

SINA There is a gap on the SINA chart (6/24-6/27); I am looking for SINA to trade below 90 before reaching much higher price levels; of course it is possible the gap will not fill, and the upside momentum will continue.
