    Why most traders are losers

    Or..." I buy 1000 of the near month 29 strike price calls for .30 and immediately pull up an order to sell 10,000 Q’s at market if the trade suddenly turns and I want to make money on the drop. I'm a little bit nervous buying so many calls. Long options in general, and betting $30K of my...

    Anyone here bought a motorcycle lately?

    My last street bike was an old '79 Yam XS-1100 Special. Not a rocket, but almost 100HP on it. Had tweaked-up carbs and a Kerker header. Top heavy as hell, and scary around 90+ mph. Bought it as a basket case and re-built it. Still got a Honda XL-250 dual-sport.

    lenny dykstra makes espn!

    Like gaj said, Smith went to minyanville. He told Lenny a few times that Lenny's strategy was doomed for eventual failure. Dyskstra is mostly just a "street hustler" kind of guy. He is not an options guy and has no chance of picking up subtle points about these mathematical derivatives. He...

    lenny dykstra makes espn!

    Just in case anybody missed the other link that Eprado posted, this is what was on a recent newsletter, and the other one I posted was the current website tally. That he "left out" that horrendous -$200K loser is very sleazy. He might as well just admit it and say something like "Yeah, we had...

    "Many of my subscribers were anxious to see how I would play out the Intel position. The stock was trading in the $20s when I bought the $15 calls in September. The position turned into a nail-biter after the bottom dropped out of Intel. Global markets crashed Oct. 10, pushing my position out of...

    "In a second-floor hallway leading to what used to be Gretzky and wife Janet Jones Gretzky's bedroom, Dykstra spots a bat -- the flying variety -- balled up in a corner where the high ceiling meets the wall. He ducks beneath it with his hands clasped on his head, playfully screeching" He is a...

    Anybody ever get your STOP order fill, even though bid-ask wasn't close?

    You let out the secret! This billion dollar company would risk everything to try to steal 10 bucks by giving you a shitty fill. :D Well they must not be very good at it, because their profits dropped by 54%! ----> http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/orders/stopLimit.php

    What is wrong with cheating on someone?

    Here is a cheating liar (after all, if you cheat on your wife, aren't you also a liar?) that is celebrated at least weekly on CNBC. Would you want to do business, and would you trust, a sleezy bag of crap like that? But then Squawk's executive producer left his wife and kids for Becky Quick...

    Kass: Why the Bears Are Wrong

    Kass sometimes gets things right. But then a lotta people were saying "looks like we should get a bottom soon..." as the SPX was diving under 700. Kass acts like he called it exactly, but what he said was "Market should bottom in a few days". Well, the market dropped another 5-7% for a couple...

    Cramer ripped by CNBC guest

    Damn. Missed it... I suppose somebody will do a Youtube. I hope! :D I watched most of the morning, and I did not see one single time they put Cramer on for the big "20th Anniversary". And I'm sure I remember him being on as guest from at least 1998. Not 20 years, but still a...
