Chris -- How goes it? You filed those taxes yet this year? This time of year hurts. How's Ohio?

Speaking of support/resistance I think I'm going to get stopped out on this one. Might be good risk/reward for an options play (straddle/strangle). image

Quoting a post from a month ago... I agree, sugar is one of those things I've periodically traded over the last few years (via $SGG the ETF that tracks sugar), always trying to buy that bounce... And you do get them from time to time, but every time ...

Here's one I tagged a few weeks ago and it's been chopping around this level a little while. Blue Chip name w/ Pinbar @ round #. Could be interesting... image

Here's one I gotta look into further. GNRC is like an old pair of shoes that still has the soles intact. It's sort of like my love affair with this stock refuses to die. I haven't owned it in a while but it looks quite tempting here bouncing nicely ...

I feel like I've seen a ghost. Welcome back Chris. I haven't been on FF in ages but it's good to see some posts from some familiar folks. Heck, maybe i'll even throw a few charts up here!

This is most certainly true, but is the market irrationally priced at 17x earnings w/ interest rates held artificially low (and likely to be held this low for another 2yrs or so?) and alternative investments no cheaper? Is it just a case that US ...

Well, i'll have to disagree with you. I find Ritholtz is one of the more level-headed pundits out there. He never gets too bullish or bearish. The perma-bears are always predicting crashes and the perma bulls blue skies and smooth sailing. Ritholtz ...

You ever think about posting any of these to StockTwits.com? Anyway, always enjoy your charts.

I skipped ahead from all the fighting in this thread... The answer to the original question is quite simple if you're in the US: Interactive Brokers. Publicly traded, honest, tight spreads, low commissions, well capitalized, TONS of products (if you ...

Safest broker to trade a million dollars with

I've migrated to the boring end of the spectrum. I purchased JNJ for the first time the other day. I own a couple mortgage REITs and odd-lot mortgage securities (One of my brokers gets them very cheap -- 4-6% yields). I also bought TGT after the ___ ...

I love that quote about Bull Markets! How true. I agree up to a point. i don't think the frothiness (a technical term) is there yet. I also think the Fed really needs to get into its tightening cycle before we really start to see money moving away ...

Ah yes, but don't forget Rithotz other comments/editorials: url To quote: Put yourself in the shoes of a large institutional investor with $1bn of cash to invest -- what are you buying here? Bonds? Doubtful. Cash? Earnings negative returns. ...

Hey Jay! Yup, certainly seems like it wants to head higher. Wasn't much of a pull-back was it? At the end of the day, the economy is chugging along, interest rates are still low (remember that even with a "taper" of bond purchases, the Fed is still ...

The Stock/ETF/Commodity Pinbar Thread

Not sure how many charts you can upload to a single post, but lets test this out... Here are a number of pinbars that came up in my usual scans. These are all WEEKLY charts, therefore only suitable for longer time frames (which is all i trade ...

The Stock/ETF/Commodity Pinbar Thread

Be careful with TBT -- the inverse funds can crush you with their negative carry and massive tracking error. Better to stick with futures (or buy puts/calls on the long ETFs such as IEF and TLT). You are right though to think that interest rates are ...

I actually don't think we are in a bubble. The reason is quite simple... Everyone keeps saying we are! If you think about it, most bubbles are where everyone and their brother is a true believer. I.e. Internet stocks are "safe Investments" or Tulips ...

hahaha. This is great. Whoever bumped this to top gets a gold star. Shame on all of us for not throwing a few hundred bucks at bitcoin. It's only gone up about 10x (with no leverage)... I certainly wouldn't buy it now after the very tulip/dot.com ...

Should i buy BitCoins or Morgan silver dollars?

I went back and looked at some old posts where we were going back & forth. And came across this one where I was discussing current positions w/ you. It's funny Split, you picked the two best performing stocks in my account to ask about. Did you ever ...

No NFP this week. Due to the shutdown it'll be out next week, the 8th. There is still plenty of Data though: PPI, Retail Sales, Home Prices, CPI, FOMC Meeting, Jobless Claims, Chicago PMI, and then ISM
