Wow, go long 1000 contracts first thing Monday, eh? :D
Example of a high probability trade: LNN makes a $10/share run up 2 days before earnings. It then pushes higher the next morning to trade near its...
I'll post the same graphic I just posted on the "AIG" thread. Why try to pick a bottom when the news is FUNDAMENTALLY bad? There are a lot of high...
There are higher probability trades available, IMHO...
Hey, Neke, don't be too hard on yourself, you know that won't happen again! Build your account back up with smaller positions. You will prevail!...
There's a Louis Navellier site called PortfolioGrader and I've found that if a stock is rated "A" on his site and has been A-rated for several...
My husband knew I liked SOHU, saw the gap down, asked should he go long and I said, "No!" I saw a great short signal at 10:03 and thought, "It's...

MON just isn't volatile enough to stage enough of a comeback to help you out on exp Friday, IMHO. I held SPWR calls at a pretty good loss in May,...

Have you done any automated trading? My husband's been backtesting for strategies and found some amazingly profitable ones in Backtest Land....
110 here in Tucson, but I have A/C, and my accounts are up...WTF, it's these four 19" monitors :D
