At these levels, yeah. But at the beginning of this thread, people were able to mine some coins per day and were called stupid - back when it was $20-50 each. Probably some bitcoin millionaires in here if they held them until now.

How about those bitcoins.

Been making tons of cash on XIN the past 400 days

These make me expect a short term pull back over ~2 months http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u319/gnode_photos/r1_zpscf9d0497.png http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u319/gnode_photos/s1_zpsff49e84c.png

I would not be arrogant like the poster a few above talking about weak longs being liquidated.. I am looking at weekly charts. I usually place trades that last over a month. I don't focus on short term noise.

I am leaning towards just buying VXX which is near all time lows.

Looking at my charts for RUT and SPX (I typically trade monthly spread options on the RUT index) and they both suggest strongly to me that we are headed for a downtrend in RUT over the next 2 months before settling around 770-825. If RUT breaks 770, could go all the way to 600 if its a really...

They are useful to give a picture of volatility in terms more easily understood by normal humans. I like to look at them but always in conjunction with technical analysis. If something looks like it is topping a trading range, you would not want to sell a "95%" put spread. These kinds of...

Thanks for all the replies. I figured if there was such a large gap, there MUST be a reason. No way for the market to have such a gap that is not exploited. Also, wouldn't be the first time for a financial journalist to have their numbers wrong. Makes sense that there would be a gap in...

They are saying gold contracts priced in yuan trading in Hong Kong have an equivalent price of $1424 USD while gold contracts trading in the US and Tokyo priced in dollars are $1560. How can such a huge arbitrage exist? Am I missing something? Should be shorting US gold and buying HK gold...

I love you Robert.

I read an article that says options on index futures get the same tax preference as index futures, effectively capping gains at 23% tax rate. Is this still true? I have not found an article about it newer than 2008. I do quite a bit of options on RUT. If this tax preference is true, I am...

Err, wrong. You have to produce before you can consume. What you described would cut production and income of our nation. You should not trade. You don't grasp even basic economics.

Yup I can't stand it when people try to make the "negative externality" arguments and then try to claim the solution is government intervention. HELLO GUYS! Government intervention is when it *becomes* a negative externality.

I just fell out of my chair laughing.

Long term core portfolio Some covered calls Some LEAPs Some diagonal calls Some put credit spreads Some puts when I think shit is headed down

I read zerohedge for fun. All they do is shit on everything. On down days that are saying "duh, of course the world is going to end" and completely mum on the up days. I think there are lots of non-participant bystanders who watch the markets and make bearish statements but don't put their...

You can put it in cash. There won't be hyperinflation.

Speaking of health, freight volumes are steady and the amount that trucking companies charge to ship has been on the rise all year at a pretty strong pace. That suggests demand for shipping has gone up relative to the supply. www.truckloadrate.com

Just like dot com and real estate. As long as "X" happens, the price will keep going up! As though no one would sell for another reason, such as profit taking, or just good old fashioned speculation that we are nearing the top so they get out before the top presents itself, thus causing a...
