how much ya gonna charge?
you are putting out ebook soon Blasher?
will it breakdown how you trade qqqq?
be you ever seen the TRIN with the petal to the metal like this?
blasher your strategy is similiar to what I want to do - ( I am still trying to figure out TA )
one suggestion is that maybe looking at Nasdaq TRIN
http://www.marketswing.com/realtime.htm
the rule is under .5 you are going to have rally over 1.0 qqqq are going down
so for instance this morning you were exactly right in your short
if you had look at the TRIN it was completely short it has been higher than 3.0 most of day which is extreme -- i e no chance of any rebound.
This might have kept you in the trade longer
I guess noone wants to talk ATVI
yikes
avti not looking good-- really down and the calls plummeted
three brokers have raised earnings estimates this morning on ATVI
Activision ATVI Kaufman Bros Hold $21 » $26
Activision ATVI Nollenberger Capital Buy $24 » $28
Activision ATVI Lazard Capital Buy $23 » $26
hmmmm not moving AH at all
isn't there big volume on NOv calls also?
you playing it Spectre?
CSCO wednesday after the bell
Noone answered my csco question this morning
earnings on wednesday -- is there a good play?
literally the only application i need windows for is quote tracker
if they moved to Mac OS I would dump parallels
but meanwhile Parallels world great -- basically Macs are really top of line PCs running Mac OS.
Ok my advice is get a mac and run windows with Parallel
that is what I have it is great
any csco strategy into earnings?
of the four horsemen of the qqqq
goog is going to announce their google phone which is really an open network to develop smartphone apps
I still am trying to figure out how exactly google makes money from this unlike Apple Iphone which is actually a ummm ya know product for sale.
that said google might pull RIMM down since it is direct competition
as far as AAPL - -well europe is rolling out Nov 9th so I can see ramping of the stock this week - and imagine 200 by the time Iphone rolls out in UK , Germany.
the last AMZN well xmas season is rolling out and so far the credit crunch and gas surge hasn't effected the consumer so I can see AMZN continuing it's pre xmas surge.
I have been buying akam for my 401k since it dropped to 29
I just think one day -- Cisco or Google will buy this sucker for 90 plus dollars a share
well this is the problem your friend can get a 30 year fixed and pay 1800k a month --so wouldn't it be smarter to move him to a new mortgage instead of forclosing
the company got 4 years of interest only payments and will still make money off your friend and he won't lose his home.
wow blew away the number -- how convenient
sept job number was revised down
the weird thing is doesn't the economy need 120k Jobs just to keep 'even'?
today's Job number -- I think the market view is no rate cut for Dec so if the job number is strong that means economy isn't doing as badly - if the job number is weak then Fed can't pull rate trigger but only watch as economy dips into recession.
so for today Good Job number is good
bad job number is bad
My guess is bad job number
seriously how are the Dems to blame for Russians going after CUban oil? last time I checked it was repugs that want to continue the ridiculous trade embargo against Cuba.
have to post this for you Spectre

Green Lantern to light up the big screen
Mon Oct 29, 2007 2:44am EDT
By Borys Kit
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Everwood" creator Greg Berlanti has signed a deal to co-write and direct a live-action feature adaptation of DC Comics' superhero "Green Lantern."
While several incarnations of the character have existed sinc his creation in 1940, the Warner Bros. movie will focus on the Lantern embodied by Hal Jordan, a test pilot who finds a downed alien spacecraft. A dying alien passes his ring to Jordan, introducing the man to a wider world that includes an interstellar police force known as the Green Lantern Corps and its overseers, the Guardians of the Universe, who live on the planet Oa.
Like any superhero, the Lantern has a weakness, the color yellow, and was known for reciting an oath when charging his ring.
"To me, this was on the last great comic book movie that hasn't been made," said Berlanti, who grew up reading comics in the 1980s. "It was a comic book with a real mythology that you would see in a lot of the space operas and the sci-fi books. The best part about it, anybody can be become one of the Green Lanterns because anyone can end up with that ring."
Berlanti met with DC Comics a year ago about bringing the hero to the big screen. He brought on board co-writers Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green, fellow comic book fans he met when working on "Jack & Bobby," the WB Network series he co-created, and worked for months to develop a story, with DC Comics senior vp Gregory Noveck helping shape it as the trio went along.
When they went in to pitch, Berlanti had a concept artist draw up 30 images of key scenes and images to help sell to the studio the movie he wanted to direct. He also pitched Warners brass a series of movies, with the first being an origin of how Jordan becomes a member of the intergalactic police force.
The biggest challenge in setting up "Lantern" was waiting for the technology to become available to create fantastical worlds as well as overcoming the prejudice of a ring-bearing hero.
"The danger and the fear from a lot of people is that it would be silly," said Berlanti. "In these post-'Harry Potter' and 'Lord of the Rings' days, it's not any more fantastical than that. It's taken movies like that to make it feel as if a Green Lantern film is possible."
Berlanti is already busy executive producing the ABC shows "Dirty Sexy Money," "Brothers & Sisters" and the upcoming "Eli Stone," a midseason legal drama he co-created with Guggenheim.

we bounce a short time tomorrow and then down down down
everyone was waiting for correction
I think here it is ..
Think you are exactly right -- Bernie is exactly like Greenspan
Funny how fighting the deficit that was so important for Greenspan's fed during Clinton Administration was suddenly not a big deal as soon as GWB got into office.
I think there is a bit of a hangover this morning
oil is approaching 100 bucks a barrel and as jeopardizes rate cut in dec

Alan Newman, editor of the Crosscurrents newsletter, added that one third of the advance in the Nasdaq-100 is due to just two stocks, Apple and Google.

wow you hit it exactly right
a question -- do you include broker fee?
I would think 10% of 2000 isn't enough to make any money after you deduct the broker fee
rumours of new macbook and 2 million copies of Leopard sold first weekend
I am not sure about that - we have the combo of Fed and END of month - usually each one implies a lift to market -- so both together might make it hard for market to go down at least until after Fed
be
I don't know how you come about your decision to trade
as many have suggested you should definitely do paper trades
right now qqqq puts/calls have very high premium because of volatility but if you are holding for 45 minutes then it isn't going to matter.
one other note is if you have less than 25k in your account then you can't round trip more than 5 times in 5 day period .
Be
=qqqq option and puts symbols depend on month and strike price
but that said -- options ARe very volatile and being on wrong side of trade can cost $$$$
Glen
I completely totally respect your views on this board so this isn't anything personal toward you
but that stat is the biggest load of bull -- 90% of all options end up out of money AT Options Expiration..
my point is Be is making qqqq trade that are lasting less than 45 minutes and he is hitting a huge percentage of wins then if he moved to qqqq options it could be like rocket fuel.
The fact is if he had bought and sold qqqq put at the same timeframe as he did his trade this morning he would have made 20% return on his money.
just something to think about
Glen
I disagree -- the way Be is trading by quickly going in and out of a trade is perfect for qqqq options they are super liquid so getting fill isn't a problem.
if he had use same amount at his QID trade on qqqq put he would have made 20% return
be
ever think of buying q puts?
if you had done the same thing with Nov 53 put
you would have bought at .70 and sold at .85 which is a 20% gain
have this feeling we are going to close at 54.00 on the nose
There is 54.00
wait The trin on your be page just zoomed up
Microsoft love today in the morning will be replace Countrywide hate
you would think that all the bad news of Countrywide is already out
but a board member resigning a day before earnings report isn't a good sign
