Today's big question: Is this a short covering rally? Or do the talking heads come out and say, 'you know China doesn't really matter because the US is doing just fine' and 'This was the buy of a lifetime'. That's the one we will hear about 3 months from now if this goes back up.

That's what I said when this first happened.

 
If this is indeed a correction before another leg up I think it's a good possibility we will retest the lows of yesterday. At least I hope so. I did take a small taste of 250 UCO @ $18.42 for 1450 @ $31.21.

Looking to add AMZN, NFLX, DIS

Looking to add more GILD, GOOGL, LLY, TGT, BIDU, PG, IGR

CNBC is pimping NFLX...I just hate the company.

No question volatility is around for the next several weeks.

 
Rearranging deck chairs here. Good spot to book some tax losses.

Sold EEM, bought EEMV

Sold IEFA, bought IEV

Sold XLE, bought EPD and KMI (XLE was previously bought after a tax loss sale).

At the very least I'll have a ####load of tax write offs for the next couple years.

 
grabbed a little more FCX... @ $8.97, might as well and look for a long term payoff. :shrug:
Still waiting on this one. It sliding negative today is an indication that it has more downward slide to go. I have gotten options enabled on my account and if I find a good spot I'm going to buy some leaps here.

Why would you hate Netflix? It's a fairly priced, awesome service.

 
Goldman sees 11% gain in S&P. That's not good when those hammerheads start spouting off. I'll be surprised if these gains hold on to the end of the day.
And the gains evaporate....and I run back to safety of the money market.

Biggest new play for me today, I bought 1600 shares of TVIX pre-market at 12.56 each

I think its going to be pretty volatile...
Thanks - TVIX Just made up all my losses (and then some) on UCO in ONE DAY.

Looking for the point where I should be happy and cash it.

( got in at $10.28)

:excited:

40% gain in 6 hours as of right now...my trigger finger is itchy.

A lot of people thought this today and got absolutely crushed

 
last half hour overall wasn't very fun.

yeesh
The list i gave you earlier returned about 50% today. I only got about 30, since i held overnight and had higher basis. This morning's really was a great buying opportunity for inverse etfs.

I continue to believe the next few weeks will be bearish and volatile. I'm up 23% in the last 5 days, including a lot of really poorly timed ins and outs

Nice... Crushed it today, bought FAS at close yesterday and sold it this morning to book a healthy profit...

The last 15 minutes of the day I hit a HR with QID going into close.

My advice for you all right now (not that I should be giving advice) is to just make sure your accounts are funded (whomever you choose). You don't have to buy anything but throw it in a Fidelity Trading Account or TDAmeritrade (or whatever you prefer). I missed out on a good opportunity yesterday by not having my wire go through instantly. They held it until the market closed.

The next 2 months are notoriously bumpy anyway and with the ups and downs I see, you're going to want to be fast with your fingers and fully funded when the next dip comes (and it seems it will).

I will never give any advice about what funds to buy because you're better off getting a tip from a stripper at your favorite Gentleman's Club, but I did want to pass that along to you as I missed out yesterday morning on a bunch of solid stuff I really wanted a chance to bite at.

I'm still waiting, but at least now I'm fully funded.

Good advise. I have been burnt on this before. I always keep some cash in the account now.

 
Man, this overall market's so crazy, I'm tempted to just speculate on crude because it seems stable by comparison.

Speaking of which, I'm in DTWI at 213 and making buys at 210 and under to average down.

I think the new day trade window is 205 - 235

:shrug:

I missed the overnight sell on TVIX but put in a limit order this morning at $14.10

Here's to hoping. And then I'll buy some more tomorrow when it dips again (you weren't kidding - very volatile)

 
I'm afraid this market exposes the soft underbelly of ETFs. If ETFs are primarily held by amateur investors and they all just panic sell you end up with a fund that is undervalued to the price of the security.

FInally hit up a penny. Here's to a rocket launch

I think you are correct on bull etfs

But I think inverse etfs are primarily held by institutional investors to hedge their positions

And here we go...

someone bought my order at 14.14

Up to 14.60

I'll get back in if it dips below 11.00 again

If you want to play, DWTI at 210ish is much more likely or RUSS at 52.00

Added to watch list. The RUSS volume is so low. Might be a freaky ride. I like it.

 
AAPL death cross has formed.
Please explain
DEFINITION of 'Death Cross'
A crossover resulting from a security's long-term moving average breaking above its short-term moving average or support level.

INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Death Cross'
As long-term indicators carry more weight, this trend indicates a bear market on the horizon and is reinforced by high trading volumes. Additionally, the long-term moving average becomes the new resistance level in the rising market.
 
Just bought another load of RUSS at 51.60.

Makes no sense for it to have dropped with the crude drop, it should be spiking like DTWI
