Hmmm.....what measure are you using for an up close? I can't find an index that closed up from the open this morning. And almost all of the market indices closed down from Friday's close (with the exception of the S&P which closed up a very minor fraction).
The lynch mob is gathering in closer, but let's see if he can pull off the trick of getting an up close tomorrow from today's close before we tighten the noose around his neck. It should be quite a feat, given the move down already in progress in the futures.
Can't spin this Mr R. we have surpassed Friday's low, now, in Globex 1314. However, one call does not a track record make. Good luck!
But Mr. R does not factor futures into his equation. That last call from RiskFreeTrading on Rennick's thread never got a response either. So much for "gurus"pS last heard from 11:42 am Friday.
The only index i've ever used is the S&P 500. Yes, it was very narrow, but it counts as a plus for the day on InTrade, and it shows "green" on the day on my monitor. So it's a plus. There has to be a threshold and .00 is the threshold. S&P Index +.1 to 1318 Now for tomorrow..
OK we'll give you that one, since you are now being a bit more open with your criteria. I think what stock_trd3r, riskfreetrading and Mr. Rowshan do not understand is that it is OK to be "wrong", at times, yet overall stay profitable.
Denial is a dangerous response when you're wrong. Just admit it you were wrong - being up by 1 point on the SnP when all the other markets were down, not to mention your poor call on shorting oil stocks.
Oy vey! I bet you're in the camp that will also say that McCain is not the real winner when he captures the Presidency by 1 electoral vote. Whether its 1 electoral vote or 100, whether the S&P is green by +.1 or +20, it is still green. If you bet that the S&P would finish monday higher on Intrade, you are a winner! Tuesday will be another green day for the S&P.
Didn't SPX gap up on open & if you were to buy gap open then you would have been in the red MOC. Am I right? Still too vague of a call ImPO.
Mostly every stock on Rowshans screen was green today, and we're not not talking lukewarm green. Rowshan follows the high capitalization $90 and up stocks and mostly all were green ie coals, metals etc. the only weakness today was in the financials, and Rowshan is never bullish on those.
