Sorry if it seemed like I was calling you out. I really wasn't. My point is that for others to learn , people posting trades should give a reason why did it and post real time trades.

These types of posts have value IMHO so it really doesn't matter what method you use to trade or whether you trade stocks, etf's , options or futures, key is to post the entry and why.

The big money is usually made with int term and long term plays cause 99% of traders can't successfully trade over the short term on a consistent basis because the mkt whipsaws will tap out most traders due to stop losses or playing to emotional labilities.

Good job on your return cause you can never segue again big winnings!!

I got lucky on RIMM and although I am in on FB at 24 in reality I'm still down modestly cause I got in on FB in premarket shares in secondary mkt pre-ipo so if I ever see mark zuckenberg I will still kick him in the balls....

Word of advice to everyone, there is no short cut or a secret to making money... It's hard work and you need some luck too... Never trust anyone blindly and use others people's info but in conjunction with your own studies cause at the end if the day ., nobody else but will feel your financial pain if a trade goes bad.

GL everyone!

Which bear ETF?

Umm... You can't short TVIX. It's not optionable. TVIX also grossly tracks it's NAV and is probably the worst-designed VIX ETF trading on the market today.
Currently up about 2% been taking things pretty slowly lately and had to recover from a 10% hit I took at the beginning of the year, but it's all good now!

Mind giving more info on the futures contract you traded?

Just wondering.. What's a good place to get started doing this kind of stuff? I'm very interested in the stock market, but I literally have no idea where to begin.

did you enter RIMM at like $18? All stocks falls right after release. AAPL, GOOG do the same after a big release of a new phone. You should of sold RIMM yesterday or the day before.

I have been watching DDD since it was in the $30 level. Long term up trend is still intact for DDD. DDD retraced to the 61% mark yesterday. But I would like to see it retrace to the 50% level around $50 level.. There is a gap fill at $53-$55.

Uptrend very much intact for ADSK. Volume is decreasing. Don't know if it has enough juice right now to break out of $40. I would buy on a pull back at the trendline.

1. General mkts either at a short term top or very close to it...abit overbought here...mkts nrrd to reset soon.

2. RIMM annoyed me today but I am in this on for long run...the new Blackberry will seal this companies fate either way...I am banking on it doing well over the next yr...today was just noise...but half my profits on RIMM now down the toilet...

3. the dollar looking to decline more...should bode well for metals...GDX still looks abit shaky for now but gold and silver could make a nice intermediate term bottom now...looks enticing.

4. FB still looks decent...sold off AH's but regained most of the losses...mobile ad revenues cont to ramp up hard....always volatile on earnings day.

5. AAPL doing well for me...it was good people were all calling for AAPL to drop another 100 pts...that implied serious fear and poor sentiment, two ingredients to make a bottom...charts also said 440-ish should be a bottom either on ST or IT basis....will still add more AAPL when it goes down again.


Looking to take some long metal positions now.

No, my cost basis is @ 14.84 now, but I had built a big position. Wish I sold some off.

But after selloff, odds now favor a run at the all time highs in Dow and SPX...dont see a significant selloff until summer...jmho.


I posted above on 2/22/12: We got the summer selloff from May-June 12'...but all time highs just about here now...I am still bullish for 2013...looking for 1650-1700 top at end of this yr or very early 14'...then things going to get real ugly.

Save this post for later.

job growth is low, that means businesses are cutting waste. real estate not moving anywhere fast: most people simply can't afford it. helicopter ben is printing, cash is worth less every month. if you have money stocks are the best game in town. i got out of us stocks last month but reinvested in the eu and they're also rising.

mostly niners fans itt? http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/...#axzz2JgZF7EgW

get ready to raise the roof.

I still like BBRY despite the recent selloff...will recapture it all back soon I bet...Blackberry 10 will do well.

we will hit either ST or IT top very soon...MCO and momentum indicators suggesting as such...hedging my long positions with short positions now.

mkts will sell off soon to reset momentum indicators.

negative divergences appearing now.

All longs need to be cautious now...my suggestion is to peel off some longs if you have big gains or to hedge appropriately if you want to hang onto long positions...but big picture still up...but could get ugly for few wks to a month.
