If you keep bumping this, you're bound to be right sooner or later. Prolly later.

Why wasn't every non-"Aryan" German running for the border in the 30's? Because the alternative was unthinkable for the average person. Don't panic, remain calm, everything's gonna be OK. It's denial.

If you scan for 52 week highs you end up with a manageable list and they're frequently in a nice uptrend channel. Stockcharts.com has a nice technical scanner and the free version does 52 week highs.

Hmmm I can get a cheaper, better-built, bigger house with no power lines in a similar climate in Minnesota. Unless you're dyin' to live near Moscow, that is.

Huh. Well I'll be damned it's really the same guy.

Definitely no opentick support. I asked their support group about that and they don't do opentick and have no plans to do so.

The wife and I looked at Charlottesville back around 1990. I had a job offer there and we did the real estate trip. We found the same thing you did. It was surprisingly expensive considering how isolated it was. We found out later that OJ Simpson and other rich celebs have estates in that...

Damn, what's up with QQQQ not shortable again? I've never seen this before.

It was an almost perfect gap fill play.

I've read about LEAP diagonals based on ETF underlyings. You buy LEAPS a couple of years out and sell higher strike front months. The idea is that the market *on average* has a bullish of around 10% per year over the long run, hence the diagonal spread. In fact, the LEAPS are purchased ITM if...

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Now you're talkin'. A so-called "reverse calendar" or short calendar, where you buy the front month and sell the back month is a good tool for an earnings play, and you can hold it through earnings. It has a similar looking risk graph to a straddle *but* it can profit from the IV collapse...

You get the little red field on the IB TWS field that's normally green. GM was red last week, but I've never seen QQQQ red. Just go long QID next time.

I guess you didn't read the preceding pages in this thread. There's more info there.

Who, me?

Something else to consider is MS losing their supremacy over the hardware market. Since most OEMs like Dell have a pre-load agreement with MS, you can't buy a bare system (no OS) without paying the so-called Microsoft or Windows Tax. In fact finding an OEM that sells bare systems where you...

I subscribe to OpenTick and haven't had a problem personally. But I don't use it consistently. The service is free and all you pay for is exchange fees based on the data you want. I think if you don't subscribe to any data, you get YM for free. I currently pay $2/month for AMEX and NYSE...

Nah, he's always looked that way. The dull look of a civil servant, that's all.
