Stock Trad3r INDEX

Quote from stock_trad3r:

Um no look at the chart. FXI almost never makes a dip that lasts longer than 2 months. In less than a month it will be much higer and I will have made money.

You're brain-dead. Mathematics? Where's the math? I'll take that wager, but I don't accept bubble-gum as settlement. 20:1 against a close above 220 at expiration; 10:1 against a touch at any time prior. Take the wager?

I can't stop laughing.

Stock_trad3r, even if you're a moron, you deserve some kudos for being wildly bullish in the right environment. But don't argue with people who have forgotten more this morning than you've ever known. You don't know your asshole from your elbow when it comes to options.
 
and so in a blink of the eye FXI, et al are slammed to the canvas - hey! Do you think the Fed leaked the minutes to Wall Street?

What tipped you off?

The clever way many 13 year olds use numbers for letters?

Don't say stupid shit. "The market makers" could care less where the stock goes beyond where they need to clear out the day's inventory from customer facilitation. And good desk traders don't carry much of that.

There is no prop. There is no manipulation. There is nothing but PRICE.

Umm...so...the clients of the market makers don't care which way the stock goes? Surely you know that there is much more to how a market maker operates than strictly scalping don't you?

Well...I've got news for you. The big clients of the market makers that want to move millions of shares in and out of a stock have a real interest in the price its trading at. The market makers that serve these clients do everything they can to get the best possible trade. Sometimes that means manipulating the price on a short-term basis.

Now, beyond the actual moving of stock for a client, I agree, the market makers don't give a shit about price. But I just don't buy it that with downgrades slowly starting to trickle in for RIMM that there aren't huge orders in the pipeline to get out of thist stock.
 
Quote from ProfitTakgFool:

Technically speaking, when adjusted for risk your portofolio probably doesn't outperform the market. I don't really subscribe to this philosophy (b/c I trade futures, which is the riskiest trading out there) but most on the investing community does. If/when the trend reverses, and assuming your stocks reverse with it, your portfolio will outperform the market on the downside as well. If you hold assets that are riskier than the market then you have to have some sort of contingency plan for when the bull run is over. It doesn't seem you do so your investing method will work until it doesn't work anymore. The market will not go up forever so you need to have a plan B -- i.e. "I'm selling somewhere....."

Precisely, hence his claim that they "go up huge" is complete hogwash. They HAVE to go up huge.

Risk-adjusted, growth doesn't outperform the market by "huge" amounts. And especially right now, the risk is extremely high. His picks better do about 20% in the next 2 months to justify the risk he's taking at current levels.
 
not really. I'm still up for the year. We got rimm and goog and aapl. 2008 will be awesome and the index is still outperforming the market by a huge margin.
