Welcome!!! Who's Trading What?

[kingdisco]

Feel free to share what you are trading regularly as a trading vehicle. (Even if its not a futures contract!). Just trying to see who's using what!

I'm currently trading ES and Gold futures primarly.

P.S. LOL so what's the EURO bailout going to do to gold? hehehe..... me heart says UP? How long can dollar stay strong?

1120
1150

I'm all over the place but predominantly long. I played some FAZ puts (short) while FAS was going down, now I'm naked short FAZ (which was a hedge). URE, IMGG on and off, SVA, MSBT, MVIS. Some are up, some are down a few %.

I honestly don't see a new high but maybe. I think we'd be lucky to get past 1120.

[kingdisco]

i've taken a hands off approach to gold until i can tell what the heck its doing.

lol you can almost wait until about 10:30 or so and do the reverse of whatever the market's doing and your golden!

volatility definitely picking up in ES and GC.

I'm just waiting for the sell signal. I'm not sure what it's gonna be.

[drtracyb]

I'm the penny stock girl because I don't have enough money to trade anything else.

I have IMGG, MVIS and DDSS. And BAC.

Tracy, rumor DDSS is partner with Quintile (WSJ article on it). Cannot find insider trading sell or buy this past week.

Holding positions in FAS, FAZ, TZA, DRV, LVS, APWR currently.

But by May, I will be trading mostly bond futures options.

Yer gonna need to lurn us on that bond stuff

[Dualism]

I've been trying to learn its nuances over the last month or so.

It seems I will have to open an account with TOS to trade bond futures options. TradeStation does not offer its options within its main platform. Makes no sense to me either.-)

Margin requirements for 3x-etfs are going up to 85% from their current 35% beginning of May.

And as you know taxes on futures gains are less cumbersome as far as reporting and are treated more favorably. But I am not touching the metals or the soft commodities.

And this forum is so sophisticated, I feel like a villager that is visiting Rome for the first time. ;D

CVM up BIG and on decent volume on news its starting the Phase III trials. Feuerstein, the columnist, wrote scathing articles about it last week driving it down.

Disclosure: I own it

[exabi]

Good for you Jack. I was watching the carnage after AF's hatchet job.

[DaveContrarian]

My current holdings.

BAC, in at 8.50
URBN, in at 31.80
AAPL, in at 197
PHM, in at 11.40
GE, in at 10.20
CLNE, in at 18.90 -- this is my speculative play.

Looking to sell some PHM, URBN as soon as I make around 10-20%.

I probably should buy some gold.

Dave,

If you should want to buy some physical gold ask2lern is your man. He owns his own precious metal biz in Minneapolis. He may be still on a cruise this week though. I've done business with him.

[DaveContrarian]

Thanks Jack. Not sure if I want to buy physical gold ... will think about that one.

[doglover]

I got a little ERY
Looks like oil was struggling at the 77 range.
