    By How Much Is The Market Oversold Right Now?

    So they may be working on the stops today then? update: they just cleared (for qqq) 54.50. Stops seem to have been hit. Would they now buy the retreats? QQQ now at 54.74. How is the volume doing? Should it not be back now that price has moved up?

    By How Much Is The Market Oversold Right Now?

    As mentioned: 1. Gapup this morning. 2. Asia and Europe rallied. :cool: I looked at the QQQ dividend. It seems to be 3 to 4 times what it was around 2007.

    Breakout in e/u, and the ETF stocks in the aftermarket are calm :confused: E/U at 1.4383 now after breaking the 4343. Maybe the profitable longs are now saying something like "Maybe I should be taking my e/u profits while they are there!"

    Trading with a Stop Loss in the Futures Market is for Losers

    I would agree as well, but I would also add that "his instinct" that stops maybe touched much more often than people generally think is correct. It is however not an aberration from the market, but rather people's instincts which may not be accurate.

    Synthetic SPY/GLD Option - How to build it?

    Image a market where the currency used to settle the options is GLD units rather than the dollar. So I want to know how to build a synthetic SPY/GLD option that would mimic what the imaginary market would do.

    Questions a new trader should ask

    If you have a knive in a cabinet, I bet it has an edge. A man may cut himself even if he found an edge. Is having an edge enough?

    Markets Wait for EU to Make Decision on Greece then markets Rally, SPX 1300+!!

    The article was too complicated, when a simpler analysis might do it. My guess would be that they would give them some money to go through the summer, which should also allow for VIPs to spend summer time bathing/tanning/etc with less phone calls and problems to deal with.

    By How Much Is The Market Oversold Right Now?

    What is the likelihood of a gapup tomorrow morning? I am thinking that eur/usd would rise. Last time I checked it was around 1.4293. It would be interesting if it clears 1.4343, as one might be able to found out if buyers would show up. It seems to me that Asia and Europe did not...

    LOL making friends-- NATO Says It Mistakenly Hit Libyan Rebels Again

    Maybe the rebels thinking is different, something like: If Khadafy gets hold of oil, NATO would cut a deal with him and even bomb the rebels to make sure the oil fields are safe.:D If above is true, then the rebels may be smarter than one might think!:D It seems to me that all three...

    US Army basically admits defeat Karzai confirms US, Taliban talks

    The fruits of stupid W. 's decisions/policies, and those idiots who voted him twice. If NATO is perceived as defeated (even if it wins) in little Afghanistan what would bigger enemies like China/North Korea/etc think? This talk about negotiations may not be all good: What if the Talibans...

    Pelosi: Weiner Can Stay

    The time has shown the facts. He is out, and underage females appears to be a key in this. Any news if he did something that may be criminal in nature? He is to add to other possible "prominent" zionists who were caught such as Strauss Kahn, Jack Lang (linked to boys), roman polanski...
