My 3-400 drop prediction was right. The market was wayyyy top heavy

It breaks it down by months and year.

I have been looking for a chart that shows the market movement by month, year, and so forth. I had it one time and cannot find it. Interesting to look at, and if I remember pretty accurate. If anyone has something like this I would appreciate if you would pass it along. Thanks

Actually I am fixing to go short the market

News Alert from The Wall Street Journal The German Parliament has approved by a large majority a rescue package worth up to €100 billion ($122 billion) for Spain's struggling banks. Lawmakers voted 473-97 to support the bank bailout, with 13 abstentions. Germany's Parliament has to endorse all decisions to use money from the euro zone's rescue fund. The country is Europe's biggest economy and the biggest single contributor to the bailout fund; it will guarantee loans to the tune of up to €29 billion under the Spanish package.

Yes sir, waiting myself

Not sure that will happen

I am thinking this market is going to have a 300-400 point correction before long. Bro Ben even says the economy sucks, but we keep going up.

Yep

From today's action looks as though things are fixed and we are on the way.

I don't think OH charges for just modify or canceling an order. I could be wrong. I never knew anyone charged for this.

Sorry, yes you are right you can't do both. I have been with them for about 3 years. Some of my fills have been great, like on the rut if I place the order before market opens, but yes, I imagine there are alot better brokers out there.

The way I am reading the posts here is, OH is 5 for 5, 10 for 8.75 plus .15 thereafter. IB is roughly .80 so on 5 contracts IB is cheaper, but 10 and over OH is cheaper. So, if you do both 5 and 10 it appears to be about a wash.

Cheaper now

If I didn't trust the trade enough to trade it in my Ira then I would not be taking the trade

Have read a couple of places that straddles are extremely risky? Thoughts

Hi, I have Optionshouse and was getting disconnected Friday afternoon several times, or Internet not working right. Did anyone have this problem if you use OH? Thanks. and btw they charge 5 dollars for 5 contracts

Kim, since I am trading in a Ira account can all your trades be done in an Ira account? Thanks

Kim, what would suggest for a entry on Monday? Thanks

I just received the alert at 500 pm central time. Must be having trouble with email

Yes, you are probably right

SPX Iron Condor June 29th: Long 1280 put + Short 1285 put June 29th: Short 1355 call + Long 1360 call Here is the trade

Bad to lose Money when market up 275. I had a SPX spread short leg 1355 that took me to the cleaners. Bad bad

Really surprised on the healthcare ruling, think it will hurt the economy more. Cant imagine companies hiring now al all, just my two cents, lol
