    Selling puts

    but I thought the market was enough of a challenge without having to add stress to one's life by picking fights with other traders who are essentially strangers... seems like there is no upside. Bad R/R. It is a lose/lose proposition.... ... kinda of like arguing with/debating some women! :p...

    Durable Goods

    Consumer Confidence and Credit Card Deliq. GOING DOWN THE TOILET

    Bro... for what it's worth I've lost all respect for your desperation moves to enhance your obvious short positions. I've got friends with their retirements in stocks, and I have some also. Greedy short pr*cks like you and hedge fund hotshots make me p*ke. Let the so-called free market...

    Durable Goods

    In keeping with the recent utilization of the TRADING forum to discuss all geopolitical and economic events/news that would in any way affect the market ST, i.e. trading, I'm adding this report. "demand for U.S.-made durable goods soared 2.5 percent in February Seems like this "good" news...

    reversals

    this may be off-topic.. but imagine if you sold short one ES or NQ a couple months ago, and held until yesterday... maybe adding on along the way?! Think of how low commissions would be and how much profit you could now book! But I'm used to holding overnights, and can't see how many can...

    how about this nice discreet selloff into the close?

    Just saw your earlier replies... will PM you with any comments. Also, I just picked up some SOX calls... and was looking to spread against them... the question is.. debit or credit. We don't usually ask others for "opinions" (and anything another trader says is just an educated opinion)...

    Alleged Qaeda Letter Threatens U.S. Over Yassin Death

    Oh, so this is trading "psychology". Oh, Ok. Now I get it! sorry you couldn't even concede any part of my point... read it over again slowly without protecting the caveman, and you will see it is right on target! well....... we all reap what we sow. SO if ET wants to deteriorate into...

    Alleged Qaeda Letter Threatens U.S. Over Yassin Death

    M, with all due respect... I DON'T see how this is appropriate for the TRADING forum. Maybe I'm mistaken bro.. but can you articulate how and why this belongs in this forum??! This ET is beginning to turn into YHOO.COM with certain parties posting crap that will either create fear or...

    stock market ready to crack and crash

    is this the kind of stuff that ET discusses in TRADING? Middle East politics and the like?!!! Why the heck don't you move this to Chit Chat if you're gonna have some cowardly terrorist-type (who likely condones crashing airplanes with innocent people aboard into tall buildings in another...

    When to take a Vacation (without trading)

    SethArb... this is a good discussion topic to start; and this has been one of my primary shortcomings in trading. When I got into this in the early 90s full-time, I did so for the very reason that it would allow for me to be my own boss and leave when I chose; also since the markets closed...

    Breaking news

    Oh my god, I suck!

    one man's floor is another one's ceiling. So "suffer" is defined differently by each. There is a well known quote that at first I thought was a platitude, i.e. insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results! When one answers what it is that they keep doing...
