Lots of money could have been made buying short funds at the end of rally days and long funds at the end of down days.
Investors....come in please!

GM, you should write a DIY manual in trading.
For sure. I did that earlier in this volatile period - and made some money. But it's a bit hard to keep up with. I know it's hard to believe, but I can't be at the computer all the time during the day.
Now I'm just riding the waves.

I think I used to use that one....but I'll check it out when I get home. I have a couple pretty sweet stock gadgets, Fidelity makes one too (it's just OK). The beauty of a gadget and a wide screen monitor is that you don't have to have your browser running to follow the market.
TODAY IS FLIKEN' SWEET!!

Not bad. Not bad. Got a nice little bump today, and 2 more dividends.
My divi's all bombed in on Friday. Don't think I have any stragglers. Have a BUNCH this month. QTR'ly ones and stuff.
But mostly my hi yield stuff had a great carry through today. Wow. And my funds and energy stuff kicked butt.

Apple's knocking 200 bucks off the price of an iPhone. Adjust your revenue and margin numbers.
AAPL down ~9 bux in afterhours.

What a stupid set of moves. IF you are going to foist $100 back (as Apple credit!) at early partakers, at least say it is to reward them.....BEFORE you lower your product price $200!!
So now how many articles are saying the depressed income funds had nothing to do with mortgages, etc and now get back in the pool? Just a couple more and I'm selling after making almost $50,000. In about a month. A few, OK, 20 more of those and it's hasta la vista babyback!!!
Here we go again..
I will get an itchy buy finger soon. Hold off...hold off....I'll at least let you know when I'm going in.
I'll cover ya, Pablo.
There's a lot of recession talk out there now, scary stuff.
Makes it hard to keep the game plan, and not get carried away with the emotion of the day.....

The coming weeks may be quite gloomy too: Commercial paper . Again October ?
But if it appears that derivatives don't have a market and, therefore, worthless, the World shall have a "fun":
The global derivatives market
Think my experience of difficult times (money reform, ruined economy, default) may be not enough to foresee all consequences of actual situation and to be fully prepared. This time a piece of advice from those who already survived The Great Depression would be really invaluable.

Where's Primus on the UP days?
I'm still here, don't worry. I'm still convinced there is nothing positive and I didn't "miss those up years". Just different approach after a bad experience in 2001-2003. Painful losses led me to a strong conclusion that it's better to compare two options: 1). to gain or to lose and 2). not to gain, but not to lose. The critical economic situation since 2001 (whatever it would not be said) and, therefore, too high risks don't attract me to play in this casino. May be I've missed an extra earning, but at the same time I've lost nothing. Since the beginning of 2007 I'm in gold, physical gold because our life leant us not to trust banks, investment institutions and government. There is a joke in Russian: - In which banks do you prefer to keep your money ? - In 3 liters banks (in Russian the word "bank" has two meanings: bank and jar). Going into gold I didn't have in mind earnings, but a safe heaven in case of World Crisis.
Believe me: I'm never jealous if somebody earns. And what I'm writing all these years is not aimed to deprive people somehow of eventual earnings. The main purpose is to warn about too high risk that is actually present. If somebody doesn't like to hear and think he is invincible because he is genius, sooner or later he will know the truth - the fate will punish, be sure.
Anyway, good luck and take care !
