Here is a geek board: I'll bet they can help you there: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=2128
Whaddya think then?
Maybe we should abandon RMDM and switch to BRK.B. I'm thinking Fruit of the Loom should see a pretty serious sale increase when a trillion naked shorts need to cover.
12.5% today! Yeah baby!
These are the days that make this fun. Gotta take the money and run, who knows what happens tomorrow.
VIX back below 30, but we must still resist the urge to buy options.
Maybe he's hosing this thing just because he knows you're in it.
They just did. Here's the details: "and will update its followers as the details of the merger and cooperation unravel."
LOL
FAZ is going back from whence it came. Valuations among the financials are just completely out of whack to the downside. And you can argue all day long about Sovereign debt, China bubbles, etc. but for the near term financials have to rise. RIFIN at 850 near term is highly possible, and that would probably put FAZ below $12.
We just need the VIX to get back down below 25, so that money can be made buying FAZ put options again.
It's time for FAS. Valuations among the financials are just completely out of whack to the downside. And you can argue all day long about Sovereign debt, China bubbles, etc. but for the near term financials just about have to rise.
We just need the VIX to get back down to 20, so that money can be made in the options again.
The top-kill is looking good, and this thing is taking the predictable ride up on the news.
Clearly the bottom in share price was overshot, but the damage to the drilling industry as a whole remains. It will be a long time before these shares trade at $80 again.
But for the near term, I think RIG is a buy.
O/S has almost reached the A/S. Once the Investor Relations department finishes fire-hosing shares at the market, maybe this thing will be able to catch a bottom.
Share buy-back program, LOL.
"They pass through our ad servers for accounting purposes.
Unless you can tell us the url for the underlying ad, there's not much we can do.
I realize that there is a difference between maintaining your software infrastructure and policing what is being put in those ads by outside parties. But perhaps you can point out to whoever is in charge of selling the ads and collecting the money, that they may want to make it their business to know just what the ad server is pointing to, rather than placing that responsibility with your users.
Not wanting to cause any trouble here, it's just a thought.
Dream Machines. Thanks, I'll mark it. I didn't even know it existed, hence my first post of the day: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=50611505
That's it. The screen shots don't look the same, but the descriptions of how it works are spot on.
The really devious thing is the setting of a proxy server. But you don't need to purchase anything to fix this. It was relatively easy to track down and isolate. Just don't attempt to fix the registry yourself, and I wouldn't trust the product you link to either. Microsoft will help you through that process for free.
I just wanted to give the geeks a heads up about it.
Hey, maybe this Antispyware Soft is a product from Innotrek, eh? Perhaps I've been to hard on them and they really do have a product.
No, that I can't give you. I don't pay any attention to pop up ads anyway, so I don't know what the content was. It was late yesterday afternoon and i-hub was running in Internet Explorer.
I rolled the cursor over a "blue word" in a message and when the pop-up opened, I accidently clicked within it instead of hitting the 'x' in the corner.
The sneaky thing this does, is it changes your proxy settings so that you can't get on the internet to download a solution or research it. I assume the only place you can go on the internet is to their site so you can give your credit card information. It also lowers your security settings so you won't be notified of executables starting. I guess that's so that after you pay for the privilege, they can load you up with even more mal-ware.
I can give you information on how to overcome it, so you can at least get your machine running again and back on line if you are interested. I was able to accomplish that myself. I thought about using system restore to fix the registry, but I let a Microsoft engineer walk me through that with Easy Assist.
The problem is that even as of about two hours ago Norton and Windows Defender's latest definition sets don't recognize the particular infection I had as a problem, although I'm discovering that this thing is becoming quite the latest nasty on the internet. I just thought you'd like to know.
I've spent all morning dealing with this "Antispyware Soft" POS that invaded my main computer. It came from a mouse over pop up ad on i-hub. I would think your geeks would be interested. Norton and Microsoft Defender definitions don't seem to cover what I had.
I've beaten it, it's gone, but I had to do it all manually. I don't appreciate it because that is the machine I normally run my trading accounts on, and obviously I did not want to open any of those while I had any doubt about key stroke logging etc. For now, my trading accounts machine is staying off of i-hub.
If your geeks care, I would be glad to share my experience.
Is this an appropriate board to discuss malware, that I strongly suspect came from a "mouse over" ad in ihub?
I was trying to come up with a "handle" when I signed up for i-hub, and that just popped into my head. It's kind of strange, when you think about it, because the particular set of brain cells which produced that thought should have been dead forty years ago.
Well, since we are pretending that a share buy back program exists, we can at least feel free to pretend it's a really big one.
Hope this helps.
LOL, good thing they got a "share buyback plan" in place.
I'm not sure that technicals apply here... The oil leak is front and center.
LOL, the top five list is ALWAYS scams.
I think you've nailed it. There are a lot of gaps to fill this morning, and FAS/FAZ are efficient gap fillers.
I got FAS at $23.80.
Europe is showing strength, coming back a little. When Europe closes, I'm thinking we will get a little up lift, and maybe drift higher this afternoon.
Just rolling the dice here.
It's losing ground pretty fast, doom and gloom is the order of the day. I'm still on the side, waiting to see if this catches a bottom. If it keeps dropping I may jump in FAZ again.
I thought China showing a little crack in the armor in regards to the yuan would have been driver to the upside, but Europe just keeps hanging over the market.
This will someday trade lower than $20, it's a mathematical certainty.
This is a trading ETF. Share price is just a yardstick here. What you need to look at is the underlying index (RIFIN). It has declined almost steadily for a month, and indexes don't move unidirectionally.
Look at GS, trading at a P/E of less than 6! At some point fundamentals will rule. I'm thinking today is a FAS day, but I haven't made up my mind yet.
Just the first 1:10 of this video is all you need.

Transocean's got some serious, serious trouble with this, and they don't have the deep pockets BP has. In addition this will definitely hurt future business porspects for them.
So not only are the future earnings going to get hit, but RIG will not be able to justify the multiple it was trading at before this disaster.
I sold my puts last week, not because I changed my mind that this has further to fall, I just didn't want to carry them to expiration, and I got to catch that nice pop in volatility too. After volatility drops off, I may re-enter that position. If that top-kill works early this week, share price may rebound a little, but RIG still has big issues here.
Nothing good about this situation... nothing.
I've been trading these (FAS/FAZ) for well over a year, both the underlying and the options. Intra-day is really the key. Both are reset on a daily basis, and are designed to reflect the movement of the RIFIN on a daily basis only. They both decay in value compared to the RIFIN over time.
There is good stuff here, poke around: http://www.direxionshares.com/tools.html
I've posted some D.D material in the i-box here: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=14535
The biggest mistake you can make with these is to buy them in anticipation of a certain scenario, ie; "I'm buying FAZ because the world's financial system is about to collapse and I will be rich!" That's lunacy. These funds will clean your clock.
I'm not a great follower of T.A. but that's interesting.
It would seem to me that an analysis of the index (RIFIN) is most appropriate due to the daily reset of FAZ/FAS. I would think that unless you can figure out a way to factor in the daily re-set, the charts for the funds themselves won't be completely meaningful.
Did that make any sense?
>Selling FAS at 24.50, c'mon baby, reach for it... You can do it!!
$24.43!! Damn. Oh well, better than a poke in the eye.
Have a good weekend.<
Well like I said elsewhere earlier. The only way to make money in FAS or FAZ is to never fall in love with either.
On the FAS board, discussion of either FAS or FAZ is welcome, as they both represent the exact same thing. A 3X reflection of the Russell 1000 Financial Services Index. They are just two tools in the tool box to work on the exact same thing.
So, day after day, all these sold short shares in RMDM are just piling up somewhere still needing to be covered. Is this what we should believe?
"options don't move when the stock does."
Hmmmm, you've been buying out of the money options and not paying attention to the VIX. You just can't win doing that. That's like paddling a canoe up the Colorado River.
The sweet spot is in the money, delta just under .9 when the VIX is low or rising. Only then do you begin to put the odds in your favor. Of course, you still need the underlying to move your way, but at least you will be paddling in the same direction as the current.
Ask me again, around 9:30 Eastern next Monday morning. Maybe I'll have a thought on that subject by then.
I usually only make one trade in this (FAS or FAZ) per day. If I can't get a real feel on direction, I won't play them at all.
I was buying calls in FAZ the last couple days, and it really worked nicely, the price went the right way, and the increase in the VIX (volatility) added fuel to the fire.
When the VIX is going down, like today, I avoid options and play the underlying.
I think we may still see RIFIN 790 today. I hope so anyway.
Good job.
Europe is about to close. I'm expecting this to move higher once that happens.
$22.65, looks like I could have sold above $23 but I didn't. It'll get there again today.
Valuations of the major financials have gotten ridiculous, and senate passage of Finreg has actually served to remove some ambiguity.
A big part of making money with FAZ is knowing when to buy FAS.
I'm in FAS today.
With options expiration, there will be a lot of cash available for new positions. The VIX has dropped four points this morning. Options traders are selling volatility. I hate to sound too technical here, but it tells me that the professionals expect share prices to go from whence they came... Up.
So we filled the "flash crash" intraday low gap on the S&P?
Maybe it's time to look out above?
Looks like FAZ is going to roll at the open.
Options expiration today. It could be a wild ride.
I've made real good money with FAZ this week, but I must say that I'm getting a little tired of watching my investments get clobbered.
I would be real happy to make money with FAS next week, but you have to take the money the market is currently trying to give to you.
