Yes we did..We saw KA...Cirque Du Soleil at the MGM..We had a chance to tour backstage after the show and that was fun..met the performer's and that kind of stuff...Cher was at Caesars but I think Bett Midler is there now as well "O" is...Lion King is at mandalay Bay but I passed as I have seen it enough.The good shows are the Cirque shows which are all different and we have gone to all of them. Joe's Stone Crab, from Southbeach, has a resturant at Caesars and Mirage has the Carnegie deli( Oh Yea) and Smith and Wolinsky's steak house stands alone. Wynn has a great Chinese Rest. called Wing Lai but all these casino's have good eateries..These are my favorite resturants as well as all the great buffets, every where. If you have time Maverick Helicopters flies you to the grand canyon($200/per) and that is fun or you can drive to the Glass Walk(?) out over the Canyon..it's quite a drive and eventually down a dirt road and they charge you $35 to go out on it ..Holy Fright it is high!!! I'm really a Craps junkie so the comedy shows are not my thing butttt they are fun. Don't know if I have helped you because I take Vegas for granted. We are going back on Dec. 17th. so I hope you don't win all their money....

We shouldn't always agree chaunceyherbie, but our disagreements should be aired in a manner that magnifies our understanding of this risky market, don't you think?

I know I don't have to tell you of all people this, but posts about buying or selling of positions are only a consideration offered for further analysis and must be put within a time frame context and your own risk profile. These views stated as comments are made in the hope that they will enlighten, amuse or pose questions advancing a useful debate.

I made good money on OIH last week as a day trade. I also lost money on some short trades. No one is perfect and we are always learning. The market is dynamic and will always continue to surprise and enchant us.

You might get to keep your shares and the premium if it pulls back before
opex. Especially if the market takes a dive too.

I picked up 2.05 for the 25s.

Everyone's reactions have been interesting, but this was a temporary Halloween costume for the blog. But judging from the comments, many would seem to disagree with your guarantee-- including some veteran traders. There are few guarantees or 100% outcomes, I'm afraid-- and it's impossible to please everyone always. Have a good one, z.

New Post!

Not sure what you're getting at, ch-- my UUP chart was merely a heads-up to show the breach of a trend line many have been watching and as follow-up to prior charts posted. The volume surge has also been huge, and certainly worth noting. There is important resistance in the $23.00 area. As for OIH, I think that we all sometimes neglect to specify time frames for various trades/analyses. I trade in and out of OIH a good deal, and it has been extremely profitable for me. Last week the intraday swings were fantastic for scalps in both directions. I've mentioned several times that I have moved more to a day trading/short term mode for many positions.

Oh, I'm not complaining. :-)

Which strike did you pick?

Re: Finding the Forest

Doji Girl — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:41:42 -0000

My shares will be called away too but at such a nice profit I cannot complain.

Re: Finding the Forest

Rosabarba — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:39:16 -0000

;-)

Looks like my shares will be called away. Might be worth buying them right back ... gotta like the odds of a trend day, eh?

Considering the way it traded on Friday and the overnight futures action, I wonder if we might get a GDX trend day as well.

Sure ...um, 'lots' of it. What would you like?

Thanks, Morrise. Very nice work. I really appreciate your contributions here.
BTW, did you see any good shows in Las Vegas last month you could recommend? I'm going for a trade show next week.

I have posted a PnF chart of UUP at http://www.flickr.com/photo...

PnF shows supply and demand, without the noise. UUP would need to exceed 23.04 on a closing basis to have a normal 3 box buying reversal.

Early last week when Brinkley was posting about buying OIH, I posted the PnF levels on a hourly chart. You can see that chart below the UUP chart. We teach best what we most need to learn.

i liked the orange and black much more; they are the same colors bloomberg uses; they are pretty "pro" lolol; much easier on the eyes.

The ones that like black backgrounds are under 25 year olds and don't wear glasses---I guarantee it!
I never come back to black sites, because of my vision. I've heard from a lot of veteran traders tell me they don't visit black sites, either--It's a fast way to kill a website! Un PRO too!

zstock7 — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:06:22 -0000

I say we go lower this week. I'll be watching the VIX, should hit 30 again on any dip

I'm glad Moo changed back to white, looks more pro! Monday QQQQ intraday high +1%, best guess.

Whoa back to the bright white I see.

How about a 6% swing in Shanghai? From a gap down to 2929 and finish the day @ 3076. This is only 30 points or so from the Oct high. Amazing.
