It is good news to hear that you are recovering from the big down day. Keep up the good WORK.

It's good to be honest. Thanks.

I see that you registered on ET a few months ago and vhehn registered more than 5 YEARS ago. Maybe, as your name implies, vhehn should be someone you are studying rather than slamming.

ksonsinc bighog is right when he says this was a winning day for you. Not in dollars, but in experience that will return much more to you over your trading career than the 2 G's you lost on Friday. There have been many good suggestions for you already on this thread. You seem to be trading...

If we get a decent gap down open I would be even more bullish for taking some longs for a 1-3 day hold. An up open and i would sit on my hands. I was surprised that the mkt went out on the lows on expiration after trending all day. Definitely not a normal expiration so would think a LOT of...

If that is disappointing then stick to OTC or a program which sends a market order to the floor when your stop is triggered. It doesn't matter whether you send your order electronically or through a human floor broker some types of orders go into the specialist's book such as Opening Only...

My rule is that if I'm in the trade because of a mistake I cut it immediately and go on about my busines. Forget about it but learn from it, if you know what I mean. From what I have seen of your posts you are a trader, not a mistake-trade repair specialist. Cut it and get back to what you do...

I use stops on NYSE stocks consistently on positions that I am manually trading. In my experience of trading listed for many years the time priority of having the stop sitting there is worth more in reduced slippage than the few times my stop has probably been picked off. For my automated...

What are the rules concerning a company purchasing their own stock in the open market during the 'quiet period' before major news announcements. I have read 100's of pages on the recent rule changes by the SEC but cannot find a definite answer to this question: is the company allowed to buy...

A poster was talking about the possibility that Don lost money this year on this strategy based on the p&l that he posts on this thread. My comment was from an actual experience I had when what he posted on the thread was not correct. I know of many other instances when what Don has posted was...

I will say from being there he never cut the opening position for a 1500 loss as he posted and instead kept adding to it. Go back to his post earlier this year about how he worked out of a bad OPG position on IBM. He was so proud of it. Yet the days that he gets slammed he fudges it and the...

I think it was in June of 2003. The stock was freddie or fannie on a big gap down and crater. I was there and saw him down 7k on it. also this year on the short GM trade but i was not personally there. his post was something to the effect that he was short GM and he would post when the...

I have persoanlly stood behind Don and seen an OPG loss of multiple thousands on a stock. Of course that day's results were never posted. I would agree that unless he can prove otherwise you are correct in your assessment that he probably ended the year in the red.

http://sec.gov/news/press/2005-69.htm Looks like it is currently set at $30.70 per $1,000,000 SOLD. These are posted on the sec.gov website under "news" whenever there are changes.

"Tell us about the " corporate types" at Goldman , Your Clearing Firms ( First Options) corporate owner" As Don said, some of you have REALLY old information. If you have info that is several year's old it makes u look stupid to comment. And, no, i don't trade thru Bright.

for trade-ideas i use the premarket highs and premarket lows. i turn it on about an hour before the open and it will pull up things that i add to a watch list. then during the mkt i use the hi relative volume filters. one set to top stocks that are + and another to minus. then third i use...

Cash wants to actually backtest? pretty soon the vancouver boys will be asking about testing software! on the other hand, they do their testing by not doing in the future what blows up the most traders today. walk forward testing with live bodies.

something that doesn't seem to get much press is the 1 year law from our smart congress giving US corporations an opportunity to "repatriate" offshore earnings and pay a nominal 5% tax on it. many many large corporations are doing it 5, 10 and 20 billion dollars at a whack. look at your USD...
