Injured Grizzly Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 I glad the SP broke under 1000 today. It seems to be an outside day down so far. I'm a bear. Broke now but still a bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injured Grizzly Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 IG: don't worry, be happy. It won't be too much longer. LOGI down 26% today. Thanks Sloth. I just don't have much time left for the down turn to begin. Being a bear during a 230 point SPX rally sucks. I wish I had not been so committed to the bearish side the last 3 months. Being right has nothing to do with the markets. Some of the bulls who were bears are bulls at the absolute wrong time. But with my record of trading who am I to judge them? The bulls are right and have been for 3 months. The next three months they may be wrong. The things that bothers me the most, is that I looked at the charts 2 months ago and said to myself, there is really no reason to be short here, and I didn't cover or go long. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerMarket Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 i'd post this on the bool thread, but I'm not really recommending it. We've had just about everything from the last bubble, except for those very boolish stock splits. Here's your chance to get in on a 25 for 1 split - only problem is you have to get through the 100 to 1 reverse first: YDI Wireless Announces New Ticker Symbol 'YDIW' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrStool Posted July 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 very few bools were right for the right reasons. Most are just stupid and lucky. As they say however, it is better to be lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerMarket Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 I agree, Doc, too much credit given to people for their "calls" when in fact things didn't really play out as predicted. But the market went up so they were "right". Oh, well, this too shall pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but now I know what it feels like to be stupid and unlucky. There were some who knew it was going up and were positioned for it. They will be the ones who will be positioned for it on the way down. I have to be satisfied to be like a clock. Right twice a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregFokker Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Right or wrong is of little import to me, because the decisions are mine. I'm trying to learn to be a trader. Better to be able to explain a viewpoint than to ram it up my butt... and consistently correct but unexplainable calls remain entirely useless to me. jmho.

PyurAureo Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Anyone working the Qs today? QuickTrade, AnotherOne, anybody? I've missed more on the Board today than I've read today. Sometimes my work interferes with the play. Just curious about thoughts on the Cubes. I have July 33 Calls at .3 but had a meeting and couldn't sell at the 32.4x area and probably wouldn't have anyway. Also have August 32 Puts at 1.15 and August 30 Puts at .75 I assume YHOO will be positive reporting but what will the Naz do with it? Up would be my guess. What's anyone else doing/thinking?

In the end it doesn't matter if they were right or wrong. Its the result that counts. Only the result. Price is the only thing that matters. Is it going up or down? Who cares why? I have spent the last 3 years reading why the market should go to zero and gold should go the 5000 per oz. I have all the reasons for it. But, it doesn't happen. I should watch the charts and nothing else. Thats all that matters. Why it has taken me so long to learn this is another subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wndysrf Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Gold Explosion is imminent. Note how gold is repeatedly trashed by the Goon Squad, yet the HUI is sporting a nice boner. Program Robots continue to hit the intraday. So far, not much effect. Looks like a doji day today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
