Day after Thanksgiving and nothing really is popping up on my screen. I was able to short some SWN but due to errors in order execution (from me) I didn’t make as much as I would have liked to. My holdings in GE, LVS, and RICK all seem to be performing well today. SWN + 73 +...

I have lived in other countries too and I have the opposite opinion. the US has by far the best medical system that I know of. One of the 'problems' is that it is SOOO good that it can really cost a lot as we have so many more options available to us. Our costs are just more 'in your face'...

Maria is right about each message taking up computer resources but I think to even discuss 16K message per actual order is at best a distraction. Assuming the 10 to 1 is actually true in the limit (seems very low) the real motivation does appear to be protecting the value of the seat. Is...

I met with the folks over at tradestation at the Traders Expo and told them about a problem I have been having for the last several months with the charts freezing. They gave me plenty of time and tried to help me out but when none of the ideas that they offered had not been already done they...

Started my day down over 30K from holding overnight and ended up here. - 1739

Last night after I came home I saw that IDCC gaped up on a press release. So I made a point to get to the office early so I would be able to see all the premarket activity. I made one more sale of IDCC at 29.00 and then waited for it to fall. During the day I traded it back and forth to get a...

back from Vegas expo. I will have a Trip report in the next few days. + 1485 Day / Week

Day started out with C being up premarket from the government approved money being used as a backstop for some of Cs poor assets. This drove the price up to over 55% higher after the bell to a price of over $6. I shorted this move up and ended up closing out a nice gain. I did enter into C...

Went to the expo for the first time to check it out. I also wanted to check on some stocks out here in Vegas. Planned on two days only went to once (friday) as I was able to see everything that I wanted in one day (I didn't go to any of the paid events so no comment on that) I found some...

Hello glwatts, Wow, how do your respond to such a humbling compliment? LEH was one of the few 'jaw dropping' events that I have been faced with. To be clear, LEH is what happens when you think that your becoming bullet-proof. Had I not made multiple errors with risk management and...

Went to LVS today while I am in Vegas attending the traders expo. no doubt that business overall is slow from who I talked to overall for Vegas. One thing that I could not help thinking was that the gaming on a Friday and Friday night looked as busy as I have ever seen it. In fact in over...

I find the other leaders to be rude at best. He respected them by showing up when he could have sent someone else. They could show a mutual respect. You may not like Bush or Obama but regardless of who is President they ARE the United States and should be treated as such.

+ 1089 GE, WTF ??

Today started out well with the market opening higher and I faded the QQQQs for a quick scalp. As it turns out I could have held on and would have made much more but that was not the plan going in. Normally I do not like to change the strategy while in a trade as the thought process and risk...
