Good luck TGFD. Remember pigs grow and hogs get slaughtered so don't get too greedy. At 3:12 you're up 159 beeps, not bad for a couple of hours. Take a look at covered call writing on high dividend yielding stocks, a conservative strategy. PFE looks great with a 7.8 yield. If you're lucky you'll get the income from the dividend and writing the call for several periods. If the stock tanks you have a quality blue chip that yields almost 8. Quality and moderation.

Don't forget 33 the fed dropped by half a percent today, that's 50 beeps. If it was three quarters of a percent that would be 75 beeps. For example I bought at 87.52 and sold at 93.45, that's .06776 or 677 beeps. ((93.45/87.52)-1) Remember to move the decimal 4 times to the right, not 2.

Guess we have another one who thinks with his ass.
"Final 30 minutes of trading I'm calling DOW down 350 from current levels."
He posted at 2.44pm. So "current levels" refer to 9100.
It closes at 8990.
9100 - 8990 = 110
Now we know you can't solve simple math problems with an ass
If you interpret "current levels" as the levels during the final 30 mins, then we also know that you can't comprehend with an ass

Never said the guy was completely right, just that 43 (you?) was calling 9 an idiot for saying DJIA would be down 350, which he never did. Hence, no reading comprehension.
(Should have mentioned that 9 was early on his call, but the spirit of his comment held true...that was the other point I was making)

Good question. Going "third person" is generally considered to be a sign of mental instability; however, TGFD prefers to think of it as a sign of his eccentricity.
