QUOTE(danmooncake @ May 20 2015, 02:39 AM) AAPL is good.. still range bound here between 125 and 135. Won't be surprise it will test the all time high again. But, FB looks interesting to me now. Time to play some FB again.  cannot understand FB's business, so i don't dare to play it.

QUOTE(danmooncake @ May 20 2015, 10:07 AM) Tomorrow better not turn below 79 otherwise I'm out and go into bear mode.  been awhile it doesn't get below 79. probably it's time, until world oil consumption continue to report increment.

Just read Icahn's response: I read the article and I don’t know why the headline is what it says, because it says later Apple didn’t officially kill the effort to make the television. The team was disbanded with mmebers set off to work on different products, they said. Cook said back, he had a grand vision for the television. So I don’t quite understand the article. It’s almost as if some guy who’s short the stock decided to say all these things.. I respect the Wall Street Journal, but I have to admit I’m a bit confused by the article … I don’t even know what it says… I believe more the second part of the report where it says Cook has a grand vision … Since then he has reiterated it is an area of interest for the company, later on it says Apple didn’t officially kill the project o make television. In the beginning it says it did kill it. So I don’t know what you’re asking me if I agree with… But you know what, it’s not really importan.t We’re talking here about a much grander thing. Over the years I’ve made a lot of money simplistically. You look at things and they just hit your over the head. Apple is one of these comapnies that comes along, that got itself into an ecosystem and you see… I’m sure there were a lot of naysayers on the watch. Look, we’re not recommending stocks here, we don’t do that … I don’t think its important whether they’re doing a Tv or not doing a TV next year…

QUOTE(wodenus @ May 20 2015, 09:14 PM) So you spend like $4 to $8 a week? how much do you make a week on average? from how you wrote in past weeks, i can see you totally have no idea what is options. These traders here are playing options. Do you know warrants? Something like that, although not that. Google and learn a bit before making ridiculous noise (past few weeks) around.

QUOTE(danmooncake @ May 21 2015, 01:02 AM) ERX has the same holding info as XLE but they also use treasury swap to achieve the financial wizardry of 3x leverage. They (the company Direxion) claims ERX will try to mimic the percentage move of Oil services sector (XLE) in 3 times percentage (either direction) for a single day. It reset itself the next day. It isn't 100% but close to it. Go ahead and track it for a couple of days and see if is true or not. Needs to be careful here if you want to play this. The volume is low because it doesn't matter how many buyers or sellers, the machine simply creates these ETF on the fly and daily rebalance at the end of the day. There aren't a limited supply or demand..on these instruments. Also, the options for this leverage vehicle are quite juicy...  and the margin requirement for ERX is kinda high too.. so check with your broker. They may not allow you to short it but you can use ERY (the bear side of ERX) instead.  yeah, it's risky since it's a daily adjustment rather then continuing. So hold is no good, only good for day trading which is even more dangerous than trading options. Especially when volume is low some more.

QUOTE(Brother J @ May 21 2015, 04:26 AM) nono, it's just a liquidation break after 4 days of poor high structure in the E-mini S&P. Not really seeing bear force atm, just some distribution after recent gains. The real bear force will commense if ES 2110 is being taken out but again we have auntie Yellen to save the market again this Friday at 1pm CST  can't fight the bull at least in short term....bull is all around the world actually....i mean, US and China. well, others....stays as "others" only.  however, Yellen recently kept reminding investors US stock market is expensive....she plans to call out the bears, it seems....

QUOTE(danmooncake @ May 22 2015, 01:24 AM) No wait.. one more round of touching 1USD = RM3.70, let me buy more Ringgit first, then Ringgit can go up. We need more US rates hike fear, or 1MDB debt bursting fear stories to cause more Msian bond rates to go up or Ringgit to fall first.  my target of 3.55 almost hit in past 2 weeks, should have bought some USD that time, then only wish/hope for more to come, perhaps 3.40-3.45. If USD rebound to breakout 3.70, most likely gotta wait much longer to get good deal.

QUOTE(AVFAN @ May 22 2015, 12:02 PM) something to share with u since i think u use cimb like i do. i recently took profits with sg stocks. cimb allows direct sgd->usd to pay so it's not bad since sgd has been holding up well. btw, for mid/long term hold, i'll buy if the price is attractive paying little attention to fx. selling and needing the rm for expense, that's when fx is impt. for trading, fx doesn't matter - but that's not with cimb but some other broker. thanks for sharing. Not sure if hkd<->usd got this feature or not. I only trade these two at the moment. however, since i am still in the process of transferring my RM stocks into HK/US stocks (aka foreign currency asset in a way), strong RM is my major concern. LOL. Still long way to go. Now at 4:6 (FF:Local), target at 6:4 or 7:3

QUOTE(AVFAN @ May 27 2015, 05:08 PM) actually, rm is only a bit weaker now. as evidenced by sgd1=rm2.70. aud1=rm2.82 is worse. 1mdb is one of reasons and will continue to haunt everything. i will be looking out for next qtr data - gdp growth, trade/current acc balance and inflation. my target 3.55 still not yet hit, so i didn't do the transferring into my usd trading account. damn! i was thinking after 3.55, will wait for 3.45 for 2nd round transfer.
