Started in the 90s, trading when we had fractions instead of decimals, still remember by first broker, Datek, wonder if they still exist, probably not. Used to suck badly, oh the scars.....
i had order in to exit, but i think further gains are likely....possible record highs today in US stock index futures
Ah, my apologies then, you have been around the block quite a bit. Its funny how on here, the only several member who regularly post and appear to be doing very well have been around for a quite a while. This is clearly a business a person just doesn't pick up in a year or two. Thanks for the reply... whoever you were in your previous ET life!
I confirm AD is a very adept trader. Personal character is also top tier. Easy going, charitable and speaks his mind. If people argued less and listened more a lot they could learn from the tidbits he shares ... but then again this is ET home of the cynics.
Russia making quick work of isolating and possibly bringing down Erdogan (very quick arab spring for Turkey?) So any oil boost from the possible volatility in the region seems diminished greatly...thus the lower oil prices yesterday. But i think the market will consolidate quickly from this oil drop and buy on the dip yet again. Only Dec 16 will decide whether buy on the dip will end...but I doubt it will end even with a hike because future rate direction and hike pace has been clearly indicated by Fed to be dovish long term
euro soars as Draghi fails to deliver more monthly QE, merely extends it to 2017 and includes local debt.
if fed raises, you really think this market will break ath when it sells off on news of more QE? unlikely
