psyche doctor Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 futures are slightly down, but apple, from early trading, looks like it is going to gap up nicely in the RTH.
Trader Joe Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 So let me get this straight... The various European country central banks are relaxing collateral rules (again, soon) and will accept even more various types of trash from their member banks Then ECB plans on opening the floodgates, again, to these member CB's in a couple weeks...ad infinitum Yet some douches continue to posit that a bear market is right around the corner -- say what? Looks as though all this liquidity sure is causing one hell of a bear market
psyche doctor Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Looks like crapple ending diagonal idea I mentioned yesterday could actually work. I guess I had to be right soon or later on that POS. Man, FSLR getting hit again. Shame on me for dumping those puts so early! Bad psyche, bad psyche....
Trader Joe Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Shame on me for dumping those puts so early! Bad psyche, bad psyche.... Story of my life dump'em....they go up an additional 100, 200, 300% Keep'em ...they zero out
psyche doctor Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Story of my life dump'em....they go up an additional 100, 200, 300% Keep'em ...they zero out Way back in the day, had a huge options position in Rambus. Long story short, kitty got scared and I bailed at the last minute. In after hours trading, the stock goes through the roof and gaps up the next day and nearly doubles in a week. Of course if I had stayed in, it would of collapsed. I think Rmbs owes me something.
aussiebear Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Posted February 14, 2012 Sheesh, just out for a walk with the dog and was set upon by 3 aboriginal girls. Lucky for me it was a main street and the police happened to drive by or it could have been worse. As it is I've got a fat lip, cuts and bruises. The girls took off of course. One of life's little experiences...
dogsie Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Interesting factoid: Courtesy of Ajay Makan and Dan McCrum at the FT, Barclays Capital estimates that based on reporting thus far earnings growth for S&P 500 companies was 7 percent in Q4. But if you strip out Apple, that plummets to 2.9 percent. One company, in other words, is responsible for most of the earnings growth among the large cap firms in the index. Slate

Shorted RMBS @75 only to watch it over the following several weeks go to 110, had to cover around 100 for a nice fat one right in the....oh the memories.....right idea wrong timing....After many years of fighting valuations, fundamentals, time value of all future earnings crap the only and I mean only equation that matters is the money flow equation, if you are tapped into this equation real time then you have the ability to trade with the house.......
dogsie Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Seem to remember Rambus involved in massive litigation over one of its patents.
