You just said it, Common Sense, something of which many of your posts lead me to belive you have little of.

You have just become the next one to squeeze.

Shoulda..... Coulda..... Woulda........ DIDN'T!!!!! Move on, this won't be your last of these if you're any good at this game. Look forward and find the next one!

Agree, put/call levels on all major indexes also spiked this week confirming you observations. Again, not calling a top, just conversing. Trading it for all its worth!

I fully expect AAPL to have GREAT EARNINGS, MSFT will be good as well. MMM probably nothing stellar, but already in that stock. I'm a trader, not calling tops or bottoms, just going where the wind takes me...... but as Buffet says, "There's no whistle at the top when it's over" and all...

Top may be near. AAPL earnings after the bell and MSFT tomorrow along with MMM. GDP later this week. This market is clearly in the hands of the traders. Good Luck, make hay while the sun is shining...... There ain't a cloud in the sky right now.

Can you beat the market on a yearly basis? Of course! Is it really hard? Not if you know what you're doing! Is 30% yearly return with little risk reasonable to expect? Not really! This business isn't about finance, it's about risk management. I don't manage money, I manage risk...

Perfect double top ...... Except for that FRESH NEW HIGH just to the right upper of the chart! :D

Seems to me that you have all the CNBC speculation talk of the day down pat. Good for you!

This has got to be one of the most retarded threads going right now on ET. If you don't like IB, fine, don't use them.

Yeah where's the commodities discussions? I can only talk about grains, metals, financials and energy. I want to talk commodities. What, there's no bubble! :D

I left the "be surrounded by greatness" and "foster the spirit of competition" crap behind when I left the grind of the corporate world. To each his own. Personally I have never really felt the need to share my trading ideas or positions with anyone. The market is the only mentor I need...

Agreed... If you can be consistently profitable at live poker tables, trading seems easy. Especially if you can make it grinding it at 3/6 or 2/4 tables.

Good stuff. Now we all know that the richies that rely upon chauffeurs are the most dangerous; rich, powerful and SMART!

First, you're fantasy is very similar to my personal experience. The major issue is experience. Steady as she goes and give yourself plenty of time in the markets. Don't do anything brash or stupid and just keep plugging away at it, gaining experience and time in the market all along. 1...

Who cares? Their jobs are being outsourced as I type.

My opinion, the odds are REALLY STACKED AGAINST YOU where you are currently trading. You're better off taking your time, sticking with it and making time your mentor. This game is all about staying alive at the beginning. You're getting juiced in fees and probably not getting anywhere...

Ahhhhh yes, the sub-prime credit crunch...... nothing quite like it. They're probably doing you a favor that you don't realize just yet.

Bingo, good post. ET has its place (as do all forms of entertainment), it's just hard for some to keep this in mind. Also for some its hard to realize that this is a place to be taken in moderation and not too seriously. I do love how there are so many posers that actually live out their...

Yeah in typical JH style, about four "money shots" worth of intellectual masturbation! (no worries JH I still love ya man and read all of your response) O.P. I'm going to give you a little zen-like answer, take it or leave it, but it applies (at least from my experience). You are...
