Good! I would have felt kinda shitty if you had lost money on my idea. :D

President Bush, one bright sunny morning, turns to his lovely wife and says, “Laura, we’re going fishing this weekend, you, me and the dog.” Laura grimaces, “But I don’t like fishing!” “Look! We’re going fishing and that’s final.” “Do I have to go fishing with you... I...

God damn it! I guess Ford isn't on list A. That would have been a sweet fill, short size F at 9.96!

I've been trading for 10 years, but never put on a conversion or reverse conversion.

Sorry, but I hate this trade. Risk is 9 times reward. Even if the asbestos bill gets passed, I think the news is already priced in. I'd love the bill to pass, and USG to gap way up. That'd be a sweet short.

There are many strikes eligible for the reverse conversion play, but I'll provide just one example: Short GM at 32.07 Short GM May 32.50 puts at 1.85 Long GM May 32.50 calls at 0.65 Locked in profit is $77 per hundred shares, realized in just 2 1/2 weeks.

HUGE GM OPTIONS SKEW: I really need to get into the reverse conversions game. Free money for the taking, putting on reverse conversions here. (Short GM stock, long synthetic).

Yes, I was just about to say: If you want to pay up a few bucks for no reason, go to KitCo or Alaron. If you want the best possible price, professional service and quick delivery, buy from Tulving. http://www.tulving.com/goldbull.html ...and yes. Hold a one ounce gold bar or coin in...

Richard Dennis is the master of making people think he knows how to trade, and then taking quick 50%+ drawdowns. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=479098

Which play? RIMM? The RIMM calls I shorted the day before earnings collapsed over 60% the next day and I got out. I never use Cramer as a sole indicator. I put alot more research into my trades than just blindly fading Cramer. I like the Moron Index (Yahoo message boards) alot better as a...

PMI & RDN.

Right, throwing size market orders at all the bank stocks the second the news hit Reuters was highly profitable, despite having to pay up a few bucks. That's how I recovered a big part of my loss.

January 3rd, 2001. A day that will live in infamy. Market was acting weak, and I was short heavily in all my accounts. Suddenly the fed cuts interest rates by half a point. WHAT THE FUCK? I let out a loud blood curdling shriek. There wasn't even a fed meeting that day, and this was the first...

Philippinos hate the Japanese too. Japan committed horrific acts in China and the Philippines during WW2, and they're not properly accepting their guilt and responsibility.

There are none. OK, I guess you meant that once the Yuan is floated, Yuan futures would exist, which is certainly true. However, they wouldn't trade anywhere near the current 1:1 ratio of the pegged Yuan.

Here are some statistics: According to the U.S. government, 13.4% of all imported goods came from China in 2004. China only bought 4.2% of U.S. exports. Rank Country Imports (Year-to-Date) Percent of Total --- Total, All Countries 1,471.0 100.0% --- Total, Top 15 Countries 1,125.1...

Got long AAPL at the close, to sell right at the open when it opens a bit higher Monday...along with the rest of the market IMO. Check out one of my favovorite contrarian indicators, what I call the 'moron index' (Yahoo message boards). Almost all the posts are bearish...

...so we both made money on RIMM last week. I love a happy ending.:cool:

Jayne originally wanted to do something beneficial to society, like selling narcotics to consenting adults to make their lives more pleasant. Then he realized that he'd have to do a few decades behind bars if caught...so instead he decided to harass millions of people and defraud millions of...

Prince Charles, upon hearing his son Harry wore a Swastika armband to a costume party... Charles: "Son, how the hell could you walk around with something so hideously ugly on your arm?!" Harry: "Dad, I was going to ask you the same thing."
