i think a lot of us forget sometimes that this is a public message board. if you think everything you post is going to be liked and agreed upon by everybody, you're sadly mistaken.
clem - though i don't understand half the things you post let alone agree with them, i do owe you a "thank you" for serving our country.
now, to try and get this thread back on track so it doesn't make it's way to the saloon, bros - did you capitulate any more today or did you stand pat?

Maybe we need counseling? It's weird, ya know? Fights seem silly until you're actually in one. Then they're not silly at all. It's hard to condemn someone for being angry. It happens to the best of us. The apology by Demanuel tells me a lot. No one is perfect, everybody f's up, and a big man will step up and say he's sorry. Gotta watch that pride thing....it'll mess you up every time. 9/11 changed my life....re-tooled, changed professions because of it...not so much about pride....more about raw emotion that will never come close to be diminished - my fault for letting it get the better of me. Its a problem. |

I will stick with what I got as long as I can or until 1345+ SPX, whichever comes first. monopoly acct was down another 1.9% on the day so that I am now sitting at my lowest levels vs the SPX (lagging by 10.7%) But I still barely have positive buying power, so we'll see what happens. |

I can't really think about 9-11.
I get so angry tears well up in my eyes.

Though I know you don't rely on charts much, keep in mind the neckline of this "possible" inverse h&s everyone is talking about is around the 1345 area. The line is slanted and rising so it will move upward as the days move on. I have 1343.25 for tomorrow. I'll update the SPY: Red Arrow thread for an updated pic. |

my first thought when I saw your chart was consolidation.

Looking like I'm going to be alright as the NFLX and SLV shorts are giving me a strong day - now I just have to keep myself from adding to the shorts too quickly as I gain buying power. That's how I keep ending up having to capitulate on some positions |

Been nicely playing catchup over the last couple sessions - only lagging the market by 5.2% now 2nd day in a row that long DRV is my only losing position out of the 5 (other 4 are short SLV, BIDU, NFLX, PCLN) |

This will be interesting now
Judging by when I will be forced to be done capitulating, I would say the market will top on Friday or Monday ;D
I have big positions to unwind, and with negative buying power into the close today, it means I'll have to be basically done closing out by Friday or Monday. Quite the interesting experiment, that's for sure

This is no good, I'm already down a lot today on my first look in.. and going to be pretty busy so this could get ugly
DRV is $11.8x right now - crazy!

Closed out the BKE and AMZN shorts started Wednesday for losses
Still sitting with my big 5 positions (DRV long, SLV, BIDU, NFLX, PCLN, shorts) for now - buying power okay right now after those 2 moves, but the account performance is dangerously low now (+6% since inception which is lagging market by 17%) and I will need to start the true capitulation shortly (either later today or Monday) should the market stay up here or move any higher.

Closed out the BKE and AMZN shorts started Wednesday for losses To the haterz, Real world and Monopoly world, it's all the same. If you notice, even with fake money, I covered both of those right at/near the highs midday BKE: $36.10 AMZN: $195.75  |

Still hanging in there somehow - have good positive buying power right now, but it's the trap I've fell into more than once where I'd put my available cash to work and then end up with a margin call shortly after
Just going to hold my "big 5" and see what happens

The move it is making today is pretty insane... all of a sudden, I'm only lagging the market by 5.7%
