IMHO it all depends on your targets. How far do you think it will fall and over what time frame? If you are not sure it will fall much, use ATM or a little bit ITM. These have higher delta and, of course, higher probability of being ITM. If you think it will fall a lot, like 10-20%, buy...

Oh no. If that's stock's prediction, then we will probably end completely flat: Open=Close! :p

Exactly. He's "claimed" by the blacks because they need an establishment hero and he looks "more black" than white. Is a half asian?-half black (Tiger Woods) black, or asian? How do you figure race after centuries of inbreeding? Percentages? I guess I don't know and don't care... :)

Why do you think Obama is black? Just cuz he checked the - Race: Caucasian[], Asian[], Other[x] box? Obama Momma Could go either way...

From $200K --> $70K. The very definition of OUCH! Sorry for your loss, but your determination is impressive. Most here would have folded the old alias and moved on. If you survive this market a bit longer, my money is on you making it all work out. Good trading to all. :cool:

Maybe, but there are also some brokers/clearing biz's going under. And more to come. You might get a fraction back after the litigation. Stick with a real broker like IB. You're welcome.

Who's your broker? Because this won't work with IB (currently): GLOBEX ES E-mini S&P 500 ES - initial:6188, overnight maint: 4950 USD

Jim Cramer likes it? THE Jim Cramer??? The CNBC Mad Money Jim Cramer??? Golly if he likes it, it must be a great buy!!!! He's one of the best on Wall Street, according to those CNBC Ads! Apple probably is a good buy here, but if Crammer is recommending it, I'd be wary... :p

Absolutely true. Luckily I'm a reformed optionaholic. I do a few op trades now and then, but I mostly stick with stocks and futures now. Much easier and quite profitable.

Sounds like you really want a Stop-Limit order. With those, you specify a Stop price and a Limit price. Stop-Limit Short: Stock is 25. As it travels down, you want to initiate a short if/when it hits 24 --> Qty 100, StpLmt Sell Stop@24, Limit@24. This means the Limit order will not be...

These ET guys won't admit it but going from super duper profitable sim trading, to trading with real money, is sooo easy. Probably, you will do even BETTER than 100% winning trades! You will be a billionare, just like us, very soon...

Long: Stock is 25. You want to buy 100 at 24 --> Qty 100, Buy@limit 24. Will be executed when stock drops to 24 (simplistically). Short: Stock is 25. You want to short 100 at 26 --> Qty 100, Sell@limit 26. You will be short 100 shrs if stock rises to 26, if you don't already have a long...

Wow. Dylan is kind of a jerk, but he was getting very peeved at CG. I've seen a few drunks and he really looked drunk to me. Even if he was just tired, mad, or really didn't have anything when they cut to him, he should have showed some professionalism. This, coupled with that tussle...

"fuckemnuggen"

I'm sure some of it is "crab mentality", but I think a lot of the animosity toward these hedge guys like SAC and (former) hedgie Crammer, comes from the idea that we respect successful traders. And it seems like more and more we find out that these guys made most of their bux from paying for...
