FXwave: Could we ask some questions (not forecasting), but intellectual questions related to trading? If you wonder what type of questions and why I would ask them, read this: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/reply.php?s=&action=newreply&postid=2908128
That sounds scary. Do you go for necks or for guts? :)
Now for a happier analogy, I like her to straddle me, while I enjoy the time and the view of her above me. I enjoy the time she spends moving around, as well as her move getting closer to me. :)
As for calls and short+puts, I would...
Shortie: I believe you are over analyzing it. In fact there is nothing to really analyze. I would just learn to follow someone who is drank. He may be irrational, but if you know the guy for sometime, you can pick some repetitions.
As for comparison to April, I do not think that as of now at...
If you have data such as the average expense ratio, I think I can develop a limit on where the market can go, in other words where the market cannot go.

I call on the people to Vote in the polls because it is midweek. After your vote in big numbers, I may call on Shortie to make a report/update. I find shortie a great stock market analyst :)
Shortie: Good idea to be on guard. These bulls can continue to be irrational longer than even the most capitalized person can hold on to his shorts. I simply do not understand why people buy an open after a gap up, but I can understand those who buy dips and disappear by the close to never be...
KMAX: We may have read the same article! What do you think of the guy?
All:
1. Those who shorted the open made the money. Will finish it in the red?
2. What are the "experts" saying about today's market before the facts, and after the facts?
