This opx weekend is quad witching.... my whole it dept is going nuts.

Cramer is no better nor worse than the rest armies of bullshit analysts on tv, people hate him more because of his style but his result is similar to the rest. The real analysts are in the trenches assisting their desk making money, not on tv spewing useless noise. And you better believe there...

The chinese govt is going at it full force now removing liquidity, not even bother to dress up with nice wording anymore like in the past. That's how serious they are. Interest rate/bank reserve requirement will continue to go up, lending will continue to shrink. That's why it's no longer good...

I wish they would come and seize my home, those homeowners probably just won the lottery...

how is this outsourcing? do you even know what outsourcing means.

oh ben, i hope you will see it coming.

i have 200x 2012 5C, looking to add some more to get a $10k position. It's part of my 401k account :) I like citi a lot, it went from one of the worst managed banks to a new kid on the block with a lot of potential. With all the good talents that flocked to them over the last 2 years and...

i am still waiting for someone to explain to me why groupon.com is worth 6 billion dollars. even fatwallet.com (which is the largest and most popular coupon/bargain site on the net) isnt worth a fraction of that.

the chart is the IV on the underlying stock, not individual options. It says it right under the chart. I dont know how they are calculated, taking the average or atm strikes? But the number isnt that important, the chart shows you the IV history and comparison vs historical that's important...

cannot be bankrupt if you can print your own money and other people want to use your money.

i signed up for groupon, it showed me a $10 off deal with some no name restaurant on 1 page. That was it. This is a $6 billion company? am i missing something. Looks like something created in a few hours in the basement.

What a fucking joke, this will be the USA in 10 years if we dont wake up.

i trade the shanghai stock exchange via citic. You can probably dig around their webiste to see if they have those ag futures. Last i checked the futures market in china just got established and wasnt very "reliable", but the way things are flying over there maybe it's a lot better now...

holy fuck! touched $200, 75P/E. This stock is my moby dick, to short or not to short again. arggg!

motor trend just gave volt car of the year hehe. i think it's a nice car...they just need to cut the price by half. Who in their right mind will pay 40k+ for that, when you can get a luxury japanese/german midsized sedan for the same.

i would love to move to those places where half a mil gets you a decent house instead of a down payment on your shoebox, and everything is clean and cheap. Unfortunately all the 9/5 financial/tech jobs are in ny/nj, so it's moot. On the flip side, if i trade ful ltime on my own, i...
