Are you still long?
Quote from William Rennick:
No, I had to make a run into town and closed out my calls for a small loss just after W's speech tanked the market. Hats off to those short today. W's speech saved your asses. oh well, trading on options ex and in front of potential news ain't smart. It's called gambling and is why I never trade options ex afternoons. Too much funny business as the big players or fast money utilize program trading and near zero premium options to make a killing. Have a great long weekend all, I'm hitting the slopes.

Quote from MandelbrotSet:
His "new short" was after-the-fact, and his "stop out at 1.50 pts" was after the market moved over 8pts against his original entry ... despite the fact that, as you mentioned earlier, he never used stops in his paper trade calls previously, and certainly not a tight, 1.50 pt stop.

The guy's an obvious harrasser and wank job, fell free to use the complain button liberally when you get tired of bashiing his head in.
Quote from travelingtrader:
A stock market collapse would not cause a recession. But a recession may cause a stock market collapse.
There will be no rate cut tomorrow because Bernanke does not want people to think he is trying to manage stock market returns.

So you are with the talking heads thinking we are heading into a depression?
