HI BOTD,
You have a blog site too!
This is hot stuff over here---
I like your index target prices on the side bars---6000.
You trade OTM options too!
I'll have to read more over here---
As far as my winning. I'm consistent.
45W and 8L is my worst month, and that was last OCT--I kept trying to guess the bottom.

BOTD,

RTP and BHP Billiton are whipping in the aussie market tonight. No idea what spurred such rise.

Be careful with X tomorrow.

damn geitner

It seems like the bulls are trying to start another rally ?? Geithner and "Bad Banks" is something the bulls can use. Watch out for the Fed, could give Geitner an extra boost. I wouldn't be shorting anything right now. I switched all short positions to LONG right before Geithner was sworn in. Strong support on the dow at 8000, and it doesn't look the bears want to bring her down below that for the time being.

NUE calls at 45, lowest cost producer when it comes to steel, better than x

CNBC puts Roubini on front page for today's headlines. I take that as a contrarian indicator. We may have a major rally today.
