Yeah right, just like the Hunt brothers squeeze on Silver in the 80's. That was "regular", right ? Huge positions can command a market.

I just finished Chapter 11....about the Flash Crash. Bottomline: Totally amazing how stupid the SEC is....especially Mary Shapiro. She is one SFC (stupid..fu... you get the rest) It's now apparent, especially post-Madoff.....that this gov't entity is totally about politics, not markets...

Dude....I'm talking INTEREST RATES....HALLO !

OK, guys....now what do you think in light of the downgrade ? Pop on Monday at the open and then a fade ? That's my call. This economy is still way too weak for higher interest rates. QE3 coming soon. Definitely by Christmas.

by Edgar Perez Smart guy...and this is an impressive bit of work. It fully explains the "Flash Crash". One point that really stood out: on that day, one HF trading firm made $100 million !

Of course.....but I prefer "quicker hits". That is why options are so nice....lots of flexibility to accommodate risk tolerance and preference.

Nice. What's next ? Premiums are soaring....time to sell puts ?

Looks like another "opportunity" to enter long today. New lows in TBT for sure....could we get to 27 ? It's obvious now the economy has over-shadowed any concerns about debt downgrades or defaults.

Not a bad idea, but what about selling the 30/28 put spread ?

TBT hit 28 as a low and is now soaring to 29 ! Rock n' Roll for this guy.

TBT hit a new 52 week low today !!! This implies QE3 is coming very soon to a town near you.

Once again, let's think about this. Would you take a course to become a brain surgeon if you had carpel tunnel syndrome ? You might, but the educators, if they were ethical, would tell you up-front: YOU AREN'T QUALIFIED. I'd say 90% of the people are not qualified to trade their own account.

TBT now in the 30's !!!! This is smelling like the last big "fake out" before the "break out". I've seen that so many times.

QQQ Aug 58 puts 2.55 QQQ Aug 58 calls 1.36 That's what I call skew !

Answer: much longer than I can retain my account balance. TBT closed Friday at 31.45. Recent low is 29.77.

Well, it's apparent in this trade that the worst-case scenario has occurred. There is a huge flow of funds out of equities and into bonds. However, the questions are: how long will this last; how far can this go ?

That was a loser....weak economy is keeping rates down no matter what.

Powerpivot coupled with SQL Server is your best solution. I've heard it can handle 20+ million rows with ease. The key is the summarizing and filtering via the Pivot.
