I may be interested in selling the Euro s'more, depending on the h4/daily close here... H1 is indicating an upward movement at the moment though.

Edit: I probably should step away wait for asia at least, being a bank holiday and all..

tomorrow morning for me

I was babbling about AAPL 700 JAN puts a few weeks ago with a few of my friends. missed out and now watching it go - an example of missing a trade and kicking myself. I would have felt better by buying them and getting a loss, than to see it go. I rarely go into individual stocks, but I do love potential strategies such as NOK/RIM pair. Intel/AMD, etc.

October - November - December, with elections taking place in the middle, then Thanksgiving, Christmas leveling off a 'more calm' period, I am tempted to try out some bull side positions for the year end. Maybe even some AAPL calls (I would never believe in SP long, AAPL short combination) .. Look at that P/E ratio! Earnings coming up soon, but the holiday season + school/university starts + employment/election hype are all great combinations.

bottom line: I am buying up some SP and will position myself on AAPL calls before the Oct earnings.

i bet jk's chat up lines are a real hit with the ladies...

don't you just love seeing their eyes glaze over when you start trying to impress them with your knowledge of global markets and economics...

trying to explain the concept of short selling is usually a good one...

Hopefully one more bounce to the north and we can finally start our journey down. H4 indicating a base of this leg is in. Now the question is how high do we go.

]if we break out above 2981.. weakness at/near 3013 or 19. should be watched. if not 2896.. just st #s after e close. with the same #S from the weekend still valid. the 2997 tl has never been tested from the lower side. bull bounces have been small.[/color].
this thing still has both bull and bear traits.. bears need a toe or more below 2937.. then more times then not 3003/04..then back below 2937 to st 2802..
at the same time bulls would like the 2884/2802 to target 3131. below 2802 voids 3131... and targets 2768... but once below 2802 it opens 2432 and a bear would want more times then not 2987 first before 2432.. it never has to bounce, it just does often... enough to screw the most, most of the time.
add st 3003.8... tl now at 3007/08
