Why not just take a week off? That's probably what i will be doing next week, pop down to the Caymans for some R&R.

Even if you are right a bull trap can extend quite far. If we are going to 1500 I would rather be out of any shorts for that ride and reshort when we come back through this area we are in now.

None of that means anything to me sorry. You may well be right though.

Second thoughts no sense waiting until Friday. If we don't get some kind of retrace today the puts are history.

This week is going to make or break for me. If we close above certain levels on Friday I will exit all my puts friday afternoon. Market internals are much stronger than I anticipated. I didn't start putting on a short position until late Dec but it looks like I was still too early. Biggest...

Thousands of know it all super traders on this site and only 2 have the balls to step up and call the trade? :D I am looking to cover my positions somwhere in the 1370-1400 area but if any of this stuff ignites then who knows. http://www.financialsense.com/Market/barbera/2007/0130.html

You are assuming that most people still put down 20% They don't. You are assuming that most people have at least 20-30% equity in their home and can afford their lifestyle and making their retirement on their current income. They can't. I think that for a large minority of the population these...

No problem just kidding around, and I agree with your assesment. Good trading to you also :)

What, the thread I posted asking this very same question not good enough for you? :)

So traders step up and make your calls. Do you sell this ramp today or do you think we are going higher? I say that this is a low risk place to short (ES 1445-6) and have added more cheap puts on the ES and QQQQs. What is your green saying?

I hate to admit it but it is true, today at least. Up $70K on ES hedge (ofcourse puts are taking a bath but will add to them with portion of these profits). Still looking for a 7% pull back unless we take out highs on good vol. A low risk trade buying OTM puts here imo with very good RR. GS has...

Hope anyone with a short bias was well hedged. Also search specter's posts. There is one where he talks about trading these types of events, helped me see clearly today (thanks Specter)though I came within a tick of being stopped out on the head fake.

not enough info

Tech strength came on heels of Dell remark about thousands of PC sold with Vista, faded quickly. No one is buying Vista in the corporate world and its reviews in the PC rags has not been favorable. Reaction to 95 when it came out was a sell off and think that will be same reaction with Vista.

I think your timing is finally on target with the YM short. Good luck and let the trade mature. Look forward to your blog.

The GOP wouldn't be so bad if they dropped the Taliban wing of their party.

That's already happened here in Boston Metro, houses on the market for a year(new construction) at 1.1M selling for 850K. Profit of about $350K nevertheless. Yes it will get worse mortgage requirements continue to tighten and apprasials too.

Why do so many otherwise intelligent people feel the need to believe in some fairy tale. Are people so mentally and emotionally feeble that they need some fantasy to give meaning to their existance? The really funny stuff is those that choose the fire and brimstone fantasy. At least the whole...
