Not related to this top but we all hear the restaurants sales are up like 3% compared to the same quarter last year. We may consider that a growth but look at the details. We all know that on the average the restaurants have increased their menu prices by 20% in the last year. My food in Panera...

I cannot predict the market 100%. Noone can but we all can have opinions. I usually play;/trade on what other people would act in the market and my statements were reflecting just that. Except mutual fund managers and long term investors, I believe it is nice to sleep on cash in long weekends...

I predict Friday (tomorrow 5/28) we should witness a sell off in US equity market given the fact that that we will have a long weekend and Euro financial problems will weigh in the US market. Today's bad GDP news and its contrarian effect on the market (market is up over 0.7% now 2:42PM...

Very bad advice. Suicidal. Trading is all about survival.

Yes I can sell cash covered PUT but this is what I don't understand: You say buying underlying and selling call is more profitable than selling cash covered PUT? I thought they should be the same as buying underlying plus covered call is synthetic short PUT. The disadvantage of buying the...

LNKD will be one reason for the market to crash. Crash= Big corection

Thanks for your feedback. That was one of my strategies but guess what? I cannot do it in 401K account. My 401k broker (Fidelity) does not let me do Call spread. I was on the phone with them this morning and asked them why they don't allow this strategy in 401k (cash)account ? My short call is...

You are exactly right. Hoever if you scan the mutual funds for those which had a gain of 10% over 5 years, you will not find more than a few and for 10 year it is even worse but you can find funds that had 50% gain last year. That means that they fail miserably in the other years. I believe by...

So far so good. Look what is happening to DELL and ADI after their good earnings. Market believes those good earnings are not sustainable. The gap is getting filled. I see S&P at 1270.

So you listed to this article :D http://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-to-cash-in-on-linkedin-2011-05-19?dist=countdown

Now LNKD market cap is higher than XLNX and ALTR combined. XLNX and ALTR are two biggest FPGA/CPLD chip companies. LNKD and ALTR and XLNX are not in the same sector but that is they way I can visualize LNKD's valuation. Unblievable. That makes S&P volunarable to higher volatility. Investors...

LinkEdin is good for one thing. Its application is killing stupid and greedy investors.

Someone posted that he shorted a boat load of the shares on this thread (It was the third post) and now I see that he removed his post :eek:

I believe market is overvalued and S&P will go to 1270 soon. Semi stocks got a boost because of Japan's disaster. I am short SMH, SPY, TXN, ADI, and long CSCO

No I don't say it is overvalued/undervalued. I say it might go to 179 today or to 41. I might make a killing on my trade or lose my shirt. I want to trade like a cockraoch. I want to trade for ever. I don't want to get burnt. If I were a fund manager with 20 billion under my management. I...

Much safer than touching the stock. I believe the options should be expensive too. I am profitable 10 months out of 12 months in a year and I have been profitable in the last 10 years and I have 15 years of trading experience. I might make money on LNKD but I don't want that profit. Don't...

please don't. don't buy it either. just watch it

I really caution novice investors/traders (and also experienced ones) avoid even looking at LNKD. Don't be even tempted to do anything with it. It might burn your life. Pop your popcorn and just watch. It is insane.

I believe this will will have a short term negative impact on the market. What do you think?

LOL:D
