The last few years have been great to me, as i was able to clobber the S&P500 many times in returns. But of course, you can't make a living trading the markets if you don't make great great returns. I'll try to give my readers trades that i think will make them money. However, you need to have money management skills, in order not to lose everything on a greedy or stupid trade. I may or may not already be in the trades i recommend. I may or may not trade the stocks i recommend. Due diligence is required on your part and the usual disclaimer that i am not responsible for your losses always apply. I have no affiliations with any broker/dealer and all posts are for educational purposes only.

Get ready to buy for a daytrade

But hopefully you don't go for the financials.

There should be a morning bounce.

If the bulls can turn the market green today (i dunno if it's even possible) that would be a feat, and very bullish.

There's so much bs out there right now. Even the people (like Cramer)keep on spreadin the news about how bad subprime is, yet they believe we get a year end rally to new highs. Let me ask you this - Does subprime go away in 2 months? These people make absolutely no sense.

ELON is flyin.

NVDA also flyin'. Bought some calls yesterday (didnt buy stock) and happy despite the bludgeoning of my other positions.

Subprime does not go away in two months. But the markets can price in all the fallout from subprime in two months.
So, if all the smaller mortgage companies go bankrupt and sell their mortgage portfolio to Goldman Sachs & Co. for 20 cents on the dollar, the markets will have priced in all the subprime mess in 2 months.

KBH is still going higher despite subprime. I wouldn't own it though.

Blogger gosu said...

The markets came back vigourously because it was thought that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were going to bail out the financials. But with Bush today stating that FNM and FRE needs reform before being involved in SubPrime, I think we are back to square one on the mortgage mess.
Do you guys think the markets go back to test the levels with this news?

Thu Aug 09, 12:40:00 PM EDT

I think this is very significant news

Thu Aug 09, 12:40:00 PM EDT  
Blogger TraderB said...

I agree Gosu. I think we are on the verge of a very big problem if the proper steps are not taken now. We had a huge housing bubble created by the Fed. I don't think they will be able to sit idlely by and emerge unscathed by this. Deflation or inflation, Ben has to pick.

No meaningful rescue rallys will be coming for at least 2 or 3 weeks .Chickens are finally coming home to roost for awhile.Here is where we finally get at least a 10% pullback.Minimum 12700 on the Dow Indu'z.Possibly next week ...or at the latest 1st week after expiration.Count on it !

Blogger Dan Fox said...

What does everyone think about this?

There is so much volatility in the markets right now b/c the hedgies are being forced to dump stocks they might like just to offset their losses in subprime.

A news item just came across the wire, Dyke Capital is going thru this right now.

If this spreads we could be in a lot of trouble, forget 12,900 how about 11?

Dan, I think that would explain the rallies in the homies over the past couple days as hedge funds are forced to cover their shorts to pay for their other losing positions.

I dont expect Dow 11K however, does anyone really know how big this subslime issue is?

When you see stocks like MDR getting slaughtered after great earnings, it makes you wonder why people/groups are selling.

We probably won't hit 11K...but 12K is now a real possibility. Thats a re-test of the Feb lows.On a technical basis as well as a current stock valuation basis...it would be justified.No FED help unless we go down AT LEAST 20%.And even then Bernanke would be viewed as a pussy !!!

STEVIE wonderless
Unwashed? What meaningful info did your peabrain bring to this blog today? your "die.bulls,die" post was so insightful. WOW, we're so impressed with your grasp of the financial markets and economic fundamentals. Its not so simple and your soooo' smart. Please explain them to us.

Yeah right, you're still an idiot, just like yesterday. If you think subprime lending is whats bringing this marjet down you're dumber than I thought.[which I had thought you were borderline retarded before so..]. When you or your daddy gosu get a real idea of economics and financials, then we can have a grown up conversation. Until then stick with your trading plan of "die,bulls,die".

Oh yeah I made $640.00 in puts today, how'd you do?

Oh yeah, you and gosu are "waiting patiently for DOW 12900" to come.LOL

I hope you buy when it gets here so you can lose the rest of your allowance.

lol...640 dollars, that's cute. Of course I don't believe you but that's neat that you think that's good money.

Blogger ted said...

Stevie wonderless
I hear you retard. Still didn't have anything else to say? except that? I knew you did'nt know shit about the markets but obviously you know nothing about money either. Unlike your "unmatched" trading skills, $640 a day is good money when only playing with risk capital not trading money. But you wouldn't know the difference nor understand how it works so I won't waste my time but let me break it down this way Buffet,

640 x 5 = $3200 per week
$3200 x 50 weeks = $160,000
I'd say thats damn good money.

A little better than "cute" i'd say. I don't make $640 every day, but I'd be damn happy if I did.
A $1,000.00 trade netted $640 profit. A 64% return in 1 day. Pretty damn cute. I wish I could be that" cute" everyday moron.

So from your response of

"steve said...
lol...640 dollars, that's cute. Of course I don't believe you but that's neat that you think that's good money."


we can assume you make better than $640 a day or $160,000 a year? Yeah right.

I didn't think it was possible but I think we've found a bigger liar than gosu. Congratulations steve.

What did you trade today stevie? Your bologne sandwich for a friut roll-up at summer camp?

Ok its apparent not only do you not know anything about the markets but you can't read or comprehend either. I never said I made $160,000 a year eunich, I merely was showing your simple mind that what you said $640 profit was "not good money" to make in a day would actually be astronimical returns IF it could be accomplished every day dumshit. But I knew it was over your head when I typed it so...

I also enjoyed how you completely avoided all the other issues there penis. About how you actually know nothing about the markets, You have NEVER posted a stock on this blog, never posted a rational idea about the markets, and cant even answer simple questions about what you traded today, and that you have no balls to trade aginst me. You're as pathetic as your daddy gosu

Let me repost it slowly slow you can read it.. I made 64% return today on SPY puts, $640.00 today, no more no less. And what did you trade? Still waiting on 12900 huh? lol.
You wouldn't know a good mutual fund if it crawled up gosus ass just to be near you.

[BTW, my mutual fund portfolios are up @ 24% for the year. Not bad either.] Hell I've probably got more in mutual funds than you've earned in your entire life.HAHAHA
