Millions of EliteTraders rush to look up boing boing's profile All the business news channels instantly are put out of business by his sinister blog. You hate EliteTrader because you have delusions of your own grandeur. Get lost.
I've traded SPY options up to 15 minutes after close. But most all conventional equity options stop trading at close. So I think the ETF options are the exception.
Yeah spy trades later, how about the qqqq's, xlf, and iwm (russell). Somewhat confusing as there are several exchanges and most of this really takes place in cyberspace (electronic trading) with some hybrid products in options.
After careful analysis, I've concluded that GOOGLE will not hit 600+ before expiry. I use a proprietary system combining Elliot Wave, Fib Retracements, Japanese Candlesticks, stochastics, and most importantly....after hours closing price.
After hour price is stretched due to light volume. The stock rally (from oil sell off) will be upon us over the next week or so. Goog sell off was overdone. if these guys are correct stocks will bounce http://bespokeinvest.typepad.com/bespoke/2008/07/sp-500-earnings.html
Light volume?? Have you seen the volume GOOG traded after hours? I like the Bespoke website. Some great information to be found. Unfortunately, the graph and analysis you showed was before GOOG, MSFT, and MER shit the bed.
Goog has to close the gap between 450 and 530. The earnings are not as bad as street makes it out to be. Goog does not give any guidance so "miss" is not the right word. The mobile search is growing and perhaps the future of goog.
sorry to say dude but GOOG has no chance to hit 600 by today. I'd say better odds buying Mega Millions.
