You guys told me it was risky

I covered shorts about $5,000 more too soon. Is this one of those no-risk dips I can buy to make it up?

<i>"Shorting reactions get you nowhere in a bull market like this, great risk for minimal returns, absolutely not worth it"</i> Did I make a mistake shorting 818.40 this morning? Oops... my bad. Can I still keep the money?

While I don't trade stocks any more, this one makes me seriously rethink that decision. One of the most orderly intraday trading symbols I've looked at in a long time. If only the ER trended like this!

<i>"Its not Weeeeeeee....... its... Yeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwww"</i> Sorry... forgot about that list of 30 shuffled stocks. Short ER 818.40 = stop 818.40

Long ER 818.60 = trailed out 819.60 for +1pt Could be short side next (perish the thought!)

$200 bbl oil would not be mild recessionary conditions. If you think the U.S. balked at $3 gallon unleaded, wait until we see $10 gallon if/when crude hits $200

<i>"imo there's a good chance we'll be at war with iran by springtime. no idea if the mkt would correct on that news."</i> At this moment in time, another warfront in middle east would create dramatic movement in the stock markets, that you can be very sure of.

That's all crazy talk. Who does this guy think he is? I wanna see his track record! * Dow 14,000 by year's end. Just drop GM and replace it with GOOG. Heck, pull the worst Dow dog and plug in CME while they're at it... 15,000 by year's end is possible. When GM and Ford are in...

<b>Mark</b>, amen to every word in your post. 1,000% dead on the money accurate!

<i>"I'm sorry perma-bears, not a chance for a down day"</i> ... if true, I'll be hitting those ER buy signals all day :p

MACD looks like a snail's trail across my sidewalk. Could you please repost with basic volume study that shows the breakout on a big surge of new money inflow? Hey, I'm down with a powerful upmove ahead... bring it on. Where's volume?

Congrats to all the long-term raging bulls... those who participated in the greatest shift of wealth our generation will likely ever see in U.S. stock markets. We appreciate your past contributions :eek:

Where you been the last four weeks? Where is the volume, where are the solid breakouts to new highs, not cowardly short squeezes? Where is the Nazz? Where is the SOX? Those were your trumpeted stalwarts four years ago... right or right? I'm neither bull or bear... those are silly...

<i>"Very bullish article IMO . These millionaire guys are loaded with cash and with their confidence in the market will keep driving it higher and higher"</i> When? Where is the volume? Where are all tech indexes and S&P big caps rising on a swell of volume? When all these bullish...

<i>"Isn't it ironic how many post 2000 bears were grilled and wiped out in 2003?"</i> In reality, all biased traders get wiped out in the inevitable reversal of market direction. 1994 - 1999 bulls died in 2000 - 2001 2000 - 2002 bears died in 2003 2003 - 2007(?) bulls will die a...

<i>"All equity indexes were above all of those averages in March of 2000 as well."</i> They weren't traders in March 2000. Next crop of newbies to learn their lessons on how a two-way market works. Oil futures newbies just finished those same lessons this year. Long 'til it's wrong... then...

<i>"d. the overall market isn't overextended (there are no blowoff tops, spires, or other climax formations in the major indicies)"</i> In that case, looks like "buy & hold" better switch to "short & hold" soon

<i>"what is a good amount to start with for futures?"</i> A good amount to begin with while learning to trade is $0. That is, absolutely zero real dollars worked = risked while you learn the game. No one "earns while they learn". Instead, it is always "learn while you burn" in reality...

<i>"Not sure were you guys were the last four years"</i> Silly, I've been right here trading both sides of the market. Short on the way down, long on the way up. Flat at the closing bell, wash - rinse - repeat :D
