Thanks for letting me know. I will also post anything that I hear or find.

Big companies don't mind burning billions once in a while like MSFT Nokia deal. Buy it at $8B and after a year lay off everyone and put the furniture in the trash can and your stock will go up another 2B including that 10B up when you did that crazy deal !!!

I did not find anything online. I heard from a couple of big traders. I don't know about the full details and that is why I called it rumor. Dropping 3.5% is very strange today while it was already trading $2 below Intel takeover price.

Dear Experienced trader, I have seeen and read many arguments and disagreements here. My experience is that no side gets convinced. I am not ignoring you and respect your ideas and beliefs in trading but I have a advisor that I listen to and that is my account value which I have been very...

That rumor is getting stronger and you see ALTR has dropped below $50. If it goes stronger, it can easily drop below $40. Disagreement between top executives whether it is a good idea to take over ALTR.

Maybe a good trade would be to sell naked Call GLD 112.5 expiring tomorrow at 0.11. My trade ideas make little but probabilities are high.

Ok so you believe SPY will go to zero. Then you can go to a coffeeshop and just read WSJ and enjoy and do not make your hands dirty and feel smart. Everything has a risk.

I "Think" market will be down but I don't want to bet my farm on it so I go and sell PUTs on stocks and futures that because of market fear pays good dividend. For example I believe gold will be up (not $2000 per oz) but I see it is going down now. What I do I sell GLD next week PUT for 110. If...

I don't trade futures but I use that possibility to trade other things. In this case, I would prefer to sell PUTs. Like selling SPY next weeks PUT for the strike price of 5% lower from here. My strategy is to trade safer and make small money but do it every week. I believe only because of...

I don't know where you get those posts that I was bearish on AAPL in 2010 for ever but I am short term bearish on AAPL now but it does not mean that AAPL will go to zero or it wont hit 300 say in 2045. About my performance, you can just assume that I am using Photoshop!!. Do you know where that...

Rumor is that INTC and ALTR deal might not go through.

Attached is DOW future 5 min chart. DOW closed almost the low of the day but it did not hit the low of the yesterday. Interesting to see what will happen tomorrow. My bet is that on Friday close (not sure about tomorrow) market should be lower than here.

I read that. It says anyone with over 5% ownership and not a regular investor. It still does not make sense but you should have mentioned that over %5 ownership in your statement.

Check out the attached one year Chinese Index chart. It is not that bad. Why we cannot expect a flat year for a market? It is not even flat now. it is up over 60% in a year? What is the rule? Should we expect the market go up 200% every year and if it drops 5%, we should cry and ask for the...

I see selling Naked weekly call XLU 43.5 at 0.13 as free money.

While you were right many times, it does not always work that way. Empty your mind. Be water my friend.

TZA is up 5.8% to 10.35. Do you think it is up too much and there is no room left? Well Let me inform you that TZA was $72 three years ago !!.

BSV is up again. Flight to short term safety. It also means the chance of increasing the rate in the next 2 months is diminishing. This is the bad sign for the stocks for the first time as it shows economy is not doing that good. We should see consumer sentiment will go down. Many people had...

I believe there is a great chance DOW future will close below 17000 by this Friday. Right now it is 17447.
