Okay here it is. I have been trading/speculating/investing for a year and a half. I learnt a lot and I didn't make very much. That is the price of tuition. And I just hope that I am over the...

It is just the plastic piece to go in front of a mounted light.


Thanks guys, I'll check out the suggestions.

Hey Everyone,

I would fully recommend to sell WZR. I don't often give advice but I have a feeling the drilling results did not go so well as someone knew something on September 14th. Since then the trend has...

I promise that is the last time I try to trade against the grain.

Mostly long and strong.

Anyone found anything on Treasuries?

I would like to know why they are taking the beating they are. I can't see people selling the treasuries while the dollar is rising.

I am confused by the sudden inverse relationship with the dollar. Is this the start of something new or is it simply that a one time affair?

Treasuries are taking one hell of a beating. Could be...

So did Goldman followed by going negative at the end of the day. I had turned bullish and then the market had to throw that at me towards the end.

With such a strong day when the Bulls could have...

Anyone noticing IBM, GS, AAPL, all trading lower on a strong market.

I am starting to think this could be the mother of all Bull Traps.

Why would the leaders be heading down when all signs say...

Did the dollar just break down? Why the sudden jump in oil price?

Yaaa! the worst is past us. Alcoa posted a gain and -34% Revenue from a year ago.

This is a snapping recovery.

Funny thing is the SPYs and DIAs are not up that much in After Hours. Also a...

I will explain my gold position:

Unfortunately I was caught short. However, I was originally long and went short for a couple of reasons.

1) USD looks like it is bottoming.
2) Talk has grown...

I have been noticing strength in Gold over the past couple months despite SRs analysis on the USD. All I can figure is I believe in the strength in the USD coming, but maybe this time Gold doesn't...

^ I sure hope so. My account was decimated this morning and instead of taking my losses as I would have usually done, I decided to keep it running.

But as I said in other posts today. The...

I am actually very worried about earnings season. At least this time analysts have been upgrading this quarter, but it still feels like there is too much negative sentiment which leaves a lot of...

Not that I am a promoter of leveraged ETFs but I am willing to bet you bought stocks and went short with ETFs.

The only way to make money the past 6 months has been going long.

The weird...

I hate to use the words must, has, or will. But this market has to reverse today. If not I am thinking we are only heading higher.

But Gold is now very much overbought, Dollar very much...

Unfortunately I added to my short too soon. I initially was short around 1028 and then added more at about 1005.

I was looking for a 960 but I have to admit I am a little surprised by Golds...

Thanks Rex. Helpful as usual.

Can someone help me out. I am at work and initial inspection looks like Gold is looking to breakout.

Any insight right now to what Gold is doing and prices it is at.

TLT is long term bonds (more volatile better interest rates)
IEF is shorter (less volatile less interest rates)

There is a whole list of US govt bond etfs. I can't recall the short bond fund. ...

I have been long treasuries for a about 6 weeks now.

Some factors to consider:
1) The contrarian would say to be long treasuries whenever you hear "shorting treasuries is a sure bet."
2) Despite...

What I say is just my opinion, but from message boards I would say that those types of numbers have long been priced into the stock.

Hard to justify a casino selling at a price to sales ratio...

May I suggest around $13.50 is where you want to purchase it. If it does go lower than that chances are you probably want to be out of it. That is the way I am playing it. After being burned by...

Don't forget though if you shorted HND you would have made 50% whereas if you went long HNU you would have made 100% in the quick nat gas move.

I usually short the leveraged ETFs but it is...

One thing for sure. If RIM which missed on Revenues and beat earnings due to increasing margins and not layoffs, gets smacked like this. Earnings season is going to be very rough.

x2

The fact that so many are willing to buy at these levels probably means more downside. Although the valuation is ridiculous and the analysts are insane, I am sticking to my rule of not trying...

I keep a basic spreadsheet on all trades, although it can get rather laborious.

I was just wondering what sort of metrics are you talking about. I would like to make the tracking more useful...

I just had a rant yesterday about RIM. I think I might buy some too. The only problem is I told myself I would stop trying to bottom pick. 19 P/E for the fastest growing large cap in the world. I...

It's not accounting. It's an average number. Unless you are talking about tax purposes. In which case it would be first bought first sold. So you would take the loss which could be used to offset...

Yeah, I know that is the downside in the report but the truth is that their expectations are too high and their valuation too low. I think it is something called Apple love. No one except Apple is...

RIMM is so messed up.

They beat EPS guide in line, and improve on margins. Stock goes down 10%. This same thing happened last quarter as well. I was thinking of selling some calls today because...

All this talk of brokers is starting to make me think ScotiaiTrade is not as bad as I thought.

Free data (no additional fees), with 30 trades a quarter you get a free thompson reuters terminal...

I can't figure it out. What was so important about 1080 on the S&P?

It doesn't seem to be a fib number and isn't a meaningful resistance.

What caused the slide. Didn't it even come before...

Take a look at the options. The volatility is quite cheap historically speaking.

EDIT: nevermind. I was actually looking at the calculators volatility which is way off. The volatility is quite...

Don't average. I can't help myself sometimes and average down on losing positions and in the end I am definitely worse off for it. You may be right this time to average down but that is only a...

Wouldn't oil crashing make sense from a standard fib sequence on the Dow?

By this I mean oil has typically been a leader of the DOw and as oil has gone up the DOW soon follows and as it heads...

As for Gold I think it is important to realize that there was no news yesterday and it just happened to be options expiration on the August contracts I believe. Max pain was at $940 and surprise...
