I am not sure why I am posting in this fringe forum. But I admit that I am distressed by how rapidly America is losing what little culture it had....
Thanks guys for ideas. I see no advantage to rolling a bad position forward here either. I was deep in the money on one of my put spreads up...
I managed to call the market move into this range (1405'ish) properly but now am in a pickle on what to do. I was hoping to get a slower rise up...
Nice SPX rally here at 1400!! Could be a bear/short shoot/squeeze developing. OMG never thought my upside CALLS would be vulnerable so soon! TS
Oh Gawd, wouldn't ya just know it? I tossed the bad 'ol wannabe bear a big CALL bone with March bear credit calls at 1420/1430 for $2 per. Now he...
LOL. I am discovering the deeper zen of "normalcy" as I watched the market drift down into one of my BULL PUT SPREADS on light volume. It was an...
For selfish reasons I am hoping "Gentle Ben's" reassuring calm will buoy us up to reform around the 1405-1410 level - sooner rather than later. I...
heck no - not by a long shot. It beats drinking heavily & pulling my hair out. Chuckle... Cheers, TS
Very good dialog guys on what some of our options are from here (no pun intended). Thanks. Tuesday's "irrationalism" I think has now introduced...

In spite of the market physchology change and global coupling that is still ongoing (which may very well redefine all new technical levels) I...

What you say sounds reasonable but personally I hope you are wrong since I need just a bit more motion to the upside to unwind or reduce some...
Sorry - mech. Got a bit carried way on trying to figure out what was behind the market moves. General Question for anyone. With volatility...
Very interesting day and pretty hard to put the pieces together to figure out exactly what happened. But I have done a lot of research and as best...
Yeah - very well done mech. I was wondering how you would fare on a fast down moving market since it could have easily overshot your Mickey ears....
Impossible to manage today - volume is so high the brokerages are losing connectivity. I am waiting for the smoke to clear in the morning. This...
Big down day today - anyone got any good short stock stories? VIX up to 15.87!!!! That's a HUGE 42% change in 1 day! TS
Yeah I hear you. I have not tapped into any of my margin yet except for locking up a portion required by SEC rules to cover the credit spread...
The New York Stock Exchange said it instituted trading curbs at 1:03 p.m.(1803 GMT) amid the plunge in the U.S. stock market. woohoo - SPX...
