And you folks call me a bull ?
Quote from frank grimes:
ok i'll handle this one myself (speaking to me) the big money is made on big moves, do you call the last 2 days a big move? less than 2% a big move? come on guys the mkt can't be that bad for you too say this. I've been trading since 1989, and yes the vols have dropped off huge, but my god, we've got guys tripping over each other to get long here...relax a bit, this is an expiration week (big move come on wends) and now were going str8 up? I hope alot of the more seasoned vets can at least take a little longer than to drop trough and be 200% long. I need to see a bit more to get that big a boner. Happy Trading!

Actually tend to call you balanced![]()
Also, not a prediction ,XLE [oil gas sector] uptrending does not mean stocks have to downtrend, or even sideways trend. And who would have figured AMR stock, would have done so well????
Some might say ,well CNBC says its so- high oil-low stocks;
thats why while like to usually watch Art Cashin , usually limit my CNBC watching to about 1 hour per day.
Quote from lilduckling:
wow what a day!!!...... even before CNBC started to comment how the Russell was not participating on this mornings rally.... I had observed that myself right off the bat..... so i decided to fight the rally. Holy crap i got the stuffing knocked out of me. Finally i made my move at 10:30 and loaded up a little bit more than usual on shorts..... got all my money back!...... Then i was ready to go long.... but looking at todays current action.... i think i will short again!! (can not get shell shocked or you miss that small window of opportunity..... but at the same time , cant be a glutton for punishment.)
EDIT: ... just covered my 2nd short... now well in the positive for the day. (hmmm..... have to admit i was lucky this morning)......no more trades until noon time!
