Kvetching?? This is serious sh*t. We're trying to figure out how to circuit-break Apple in the future. :eek: :p :D

Guessing H for (H)alt

The red bar alert came up on IB for Apple. Also the quote showed the price + "H" next to it.

They halted the stock because of it. Interesting that you can circuit-break a stock that way, someone might try to manipulate another stock in the future.

Another take on the crash. The TVIX Debacle "UPDATE: What is probably most likely the driver of the collapse, however, is the reversion to reality (akin to the NAV premium) as pointed out by Nic Colas (h/t) of TVIX (the actual equity position) to TVIXIV (the underlyting vol index itself)..."

Don't think you can carry loss backwards unless you are an entity (S-Corp, LLC, etc). I'm in a different situation, my CPA screwed up my taxloss carryover numbers for 2007 and 2009. I'll need to amend my previous tax returns to realize the tax loss. I was wondering whether I could just...

Well I can tell you TheFlyOnTheWall.com doesn't have anything.

When TUDO consolidated at 38, I was assuming that the stock acquisition terms would work at to around that number. I didn't do the numbers. Perhaps there is more to the acquisition terms. Edit: The other thing is that since it's such a rich valuation. There's plenty of skepticism as to...

Anyone trading full time in the NYC area? I'm currently retail, trading futures/stocks.

TF is a beautiful thing but you have to be able to handle swings more. One point stops will kill you. It pays better than YM, ES or NQ i.e. if you can predict which direction the market is moving, usually TF will make a slightly longer move. But of course, this cuts both ways.

Geez, always thought Sykes was an idiot savant. Someone who just didn't realized how badly they came off. But now it looks like once the losses and money losing operation started piling up, he got desperate and is willing to hurt other people. The same shit that has happened to Dykstra is...

Finally! Making a move. The classic, a oldie but goodie :D

90s or not, TF has been banging its head against 801 for the entire day. We just need volume to bust through.

Right now, it's on. Let's bust through the 801 level.

That's good, having a supplementary income doesn't make trading a make-or-break proposition. Though it would have given the title, "The Battle for Survival", a more dramatic undertone. :D I've been trading 6 months FT as my only source of income. Luv the independence but not the income...

bhardy, LOL, that was too deep for me but very entertaining.

Dude, You need to take chill pill. I've been on this board since before 2000. Wayyyy before many of you. It's quite simple to ignore most of the crap. I use these forums for entertainment and information. I don't get all worked up and make grand statements like leaving forever...

Moreso why people think she gave up (failed), why say goodbye if you continue to trade. It's seem more plausible that she lost too much money and decided it was time to give it up. Even a break-even trader will check back once in a while.

If she blew up, why would she want to "share" her trading plan. I would feel guilty passing along something that didn't work for me. Some other guy believes her hype and tries to give it a go and subsequently blows up. I would imagine it repeats and multiple people will read this thread in...

Neke, Is this your only source of income? Judging by the large withdrawals, I would assume yes.
