  1. Cover $28.83.

    To each his own on stops, anyone using volatillity based stops?
    I mostly scalp so many times I don't have a hard stop. I am a lot more strict about stops when trading futures. A stalled computer can really kill you, even if you reboot it may take you 10 minutes; a lifetime when you are in max pain.

  2. Here's my all-star newbie prediction. I don't think we'll retest the LOD. On the contrary, I think we'll churn between the HOD and 1426. I'll be holding on to mine up to 1436-ish, otherwise you know where my stop is.

    That's it for me. Have a nice thanksgiving yo. Now be nice and don't be gunning my stop.

  4. Stopped at 1430.25 for +2. :( Manipulation. Gotta loosen up.

    My target was 1425, and now it's going there without me.

  5. Straddle +7 and overwrite +5 on marks.

  6. Long from 1429.75.

    EDIT: On second thought, this look all wrong. Closed out at 1430.25 for +.50. Better safe than sorry. Flat.

  7. libor indicating 50 basis cut.

    might even be preemptive to blow positions.

  8. Ahh, the old truism is always a good one to go by. But I think it was a bit premature. I still think we'll head up to at least 35-ish.

  9. Averaged up @ 3450...I think I can perhaps squeeze out at least 3 points.

  10. CNBC Headline:
    "Americans In A Foul Mood As Holidays Approach"

    Personally, I'm in more of a fowl mood. :)

    Haven't had a losing day this week (knock, knock) and yesterday was my personal best.
