Any traders in the bay area want to talk?

I have been trading since 85. I trade mostly OEX Options

currently.

I remember someone that used to do that back in late '98.
His name was Victor Niederhoffer, and he blew out!
:eek:

Down in the South bay...trading futures (indices & currencies).

CC county here, CBOT metals and sometimes indices (on and off since 95). Small time capital though, I squandered it all on a house . . .

I don't like the way this stock market has been acting as of late. It seems to be on the verge of something.............but what.

I have been experiencing difficulty (very slow) entering and exiting OEX options lately, so I am currently back in the mini futures world...........fast and snappy.

I like to watch the Stops a lot.

I am in Mountain View, Santa Clara county. Home of spectacular boom-then-bust companies: Fairchild Semiconductor, Sun Microsystems, Silicon Graphics Inc., Google.

I take directional positions trading outright futures 99.9% of the time, with the occasional futures option thrown in ... when I yield to the temptation of overriding my mechanical system(s).
