Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

it's so true...till it is'nt

 

Woo! Why do people even work. Get long and add a little leverage and just collect money every day

 

Yup, throw brain into neutral, no thinking or even stress required.

 

Futures down heavy now, dow futures off nearly 200 points...interesting. wondering the reason why.

 

Was the US strike in Iraq most likely and Iran promising a response. Sent oil up too but as we have seen every time before if there is volatility you buy the dip!

 

One day the buy the dip talk will be a totally listing strategy...

 

Looks like yesterday's gains will totally disappear in the first few moments of markets opening.

Glad I went short more Russel 2000 yesterday

 

Which just goes to show sometimes you can make money even when you do the wrong thing.

 

There is always risk... overnight risk, margin risk, risk you need capital you have locked in holding positions... Or Am I missing something. True... If you have a large enough horizon... but isnt that more investing than trading? And why trade the SP500 if you have much more upside volatility and chances in stocks...

 

This thread was actually a kind of tongue-in-cheek joke thread when started in 2007. Of course then we had the 2008-9 drop. But many years and more than a million views later it endures, well...because it IS hard to beat just buying the good ole S&P500.
