best thing to do is

best thing to do is CASH....thank god i sold my SRS for a small loss at 7:59 PM

doesnt matter whether this rally is going to stay or not...........the key is not to lose money........

and if you try to get in theway , you can get crushed..if you are not comfortable like me...stay  in cash...it is ok...atleast u wont lose money

Matt and steve

I think you guys did the right thing in suggesting to get into the shorts and you guys kept on insisting how important it is to lock profits as the time goes by.

And one of the most important reasons to lock profits would be the spiking VIX. It is just ridiculous to keep holding on to profitable trades ...that is called Greed.

Not to mention that you clearly mentioned about moving stops higher. If someone loses money by not keeping stops that is really their problem.

 

No actually i bought oct

rimm options

No actually i bought oct calls.... but even though I think rimm will go up as high as 102 tomorrow...i still did not want to hold options mainly because I think it`s crazy to hold 130 contracts

Unfortunately, I am stuck in SRS at 85.8 now and I am  trying to get a sense of how exactly this coreesponds to the markets. Does it have any kind of relation with SPY ...meaning...can SRS still go up if markets go up?

RP, Thanks for getting back. I should have waited till the last minute. I entered SRS at 85.8,
I hope it doesnt tank tomorrow. It is ridiculously volatile

how to trade

Matt

Do you think if the markets open down sharply , we could see a short term rebound like the one we saw after bear stearns...
