2011 was a great year for me trading wise. Since I have a fulltime job, every bit of trading income gets reinvested. I've been very fortunate in 2011, so I've begun to branch out in my trading to options and swing trading. I stopped trading forex. Just not my cup of tea. The ES is my...

you just don't know, LOL !

Its a cyclical stock in my opinion, so I'd stay away from it unless you are looking for a few months trade. Goodyear benefited from the price of rubber last year, but I've read the stock price hasn't shown any improvement based upon this, and that the price of rubber lags. Therefore, in the...

Whenever I trade long straddles, its almost always only with QQQ or SPY. And when I trade them, I always have to use more than 1 contract each, or else commission will eat too much into my profit. For example. On Tuesday morning I did a long straddle with the SPY. I bought SPY March 135...

awesome trade ! what led u to believe it would retreat again ?

I'd like to buy some, but IV is too high right now for my taste. I'm not paying 30 cents for March 15 puts.

so do you focus much of your efforts on trading yahoo stock ?

Dan Zanger had an incredible story. $10k to $40 mill in 2 years !

Definitely looks this stock is getting ready to pop. My only worry is that the rest of the techs have been in a pretty solid uptrend while yahoo can't seem to follow its peers. If / when this market pulls back, will yahoo fall faster than its peers ? Who knows I really liked that...

Every person that keeps talking about shorting AAPL needs to get their head examined. If you want to short a tech stock, short an industry laggard like RIMM. MSFT and AAPL are on a tear. Those are stocks u want to go long on. Soon as this market pulls back, RIMM should continue its...

there was no rudeness there. I think Mav and others were just being brutally honest. Just because you hear what you don't want to hear doesnt make it rude !

openecry does but u need to manually say which futures you want record so u can replay it later.

A short strangle swap has positive theta so you time decay is in your favor so thats a + But isn't a short strangle swap betting on IV flattening or declining since vega is negative ? This trade would be better suited to be put on AFTER an IV pop. Right ? Or do I have this completely...

They call me tough guy, b/c I'm a real tough guy !

nope, they dont call me wiseman :)

don't touch solar stocks until their margins stop decreasing !

This poster has been around the ET community since 2007 and has traded the markets since then. My question is why is he asking this question years after the poker bans came in and 4 years after he's started trading the market ?
