Why on earth would I be getting a margin call? I raised plenty of cash to put to work the past 3 months. Raised more this morning when I sold all...
Hi Baron. Thanks for founding this site. The triangle that started September 7 in the S&P has been a subject of frequent conversation in the...
Exciting times if you were waiting for a correction. The sharp move that was to come after the 5 week triangle has confirmed to the downside, and...
We're clearly out of the triangle to the downside.
I believe you meant it's hard "not" to notice the triangle?
Having traded DUST options, these options are known to be volatile. But to answer your question, time decay is a major factor, and a logical...
Hello all. Been following this triangle for about 2 weeks now. The perfect triangle began September 7 and broke this morning. We all knew that it...
Hope so! I'm ready with dry powder...
Nope. I have an order in to add in the after-hours session. I won't lose on this trade. But, yes, I'm down on it a whisker. Excellent job on...

OF COURSE! It's been a 7+ year bull market!! You said 10% CORRECTION. I'll note that there are some who believe, and justifiably so, that the...
Thanks for making the points. "Expecting the unexpected" is entrenched in my trading philosophy. So much so that I have to now tweak that into...
True. I want to buy DIA at Dow 10,000. That ship won't sail ever again, unless something catastrophic happens very soon. I've also watched...
It could "realistically double" before a 10% correction? Realistically, that's not realistic. In fact, put me on record as guaranteeing that will...
OK. So you're saying that the sample size for the fact that September is historically the market's worst month is not large enough to warrant...
I have always considered this comparison, and I do think the S&P 500 is immune from what the Nikkei experienced. The reason is that we're talking...
The rest of your post was sensible, in that the natural long-term trend of the market is up. But I will heartily dispute the above comment. The...
