Or they could slap more sanctions on Russia. Latest flare up in Ukraine could be a good excuse. Take more Russian oil out of the international market.
Iran could be a problem since negotiations seem to be doing well. Most Iranian oil is still off the market. But now that Republicans control both houses of Congress, maybe a deal will be impossible.

QUOTE(danmooncake @ Nov 8 2014, 12:22 AM) Not yet.... still within 76-79 range meh We need to see Oil gets back above $80 for downtrend to break. If break 75... then, we will see 70-75 the new range.. then something is wrong. The world is flushed with oil.. no one wants to buy. Maybe they need to blow up more pipes or start a new war somewhere.  Hahaha.. Blow up more pipes.. You long enough already anot? Later a few more blow up de la This post has been edited by Bonescythe: Nov 8 2014, 01:13 AM

TOKYO, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is considering dissolving the lower house of parliament and calling a snap election if he decides to delay a plan to raise the sales tax next year, the Yomiuri Shimbun reported. If Mr Abe does dissolve the Lower House, an election could be held on Dec 14 or Dec 21, the Yomiuri reported on Sunday, citing several government and ruling party sources. Mr Abe has also told members of his party's coalition partner of this plan, the Yomiuri said. why would Abe risk it? the sales tax hike is already passed into law. he can't be that worried about 3Q/4Q GDP to repeal it.  fuel for bears

QUOTE(Brother J @ Nov 7 2014, 03:15 AM) TD Ameritrade is offering $0.90 flat rate per contract on options to me ever since I showed them my account size and position in OX. But I am still considering lol. ps: since I am neither posting my real name nor account number hence you can't use this email as argument to ask for better price from TD ameritrade.  How big the account size to get that rate? 6 or 7 figures? Mine is $1.25 flat per contract. Would love to get lower than $1. tq

QUOTE(danmooncake @ Nov 7 2014, 10:11 PM) Wow.. the jobs numbers are good. 214K private jobs, UE drops to 5.8%. More fire power for bulls. BLS estimated 137K new jobs from small and new companies. Without this inflated number, the total would be very small.

They also look at the average number of stock options contracts traded (of course bro J's is in a league of his own  ). On OX, mine's also $1 per stock options contract and my a/c is definitely below 6 figures BUT (there's always one around  ) with minimum $9.95 or higher per trade  FYI - my contracts traded per month averages about 200+/- depending on opportunities for iron-condors or not Just sharing This post has been edited by wongmunkeong: Nov 10 2014, 10:20 AM

Correct?

QUOTE(Brother J @ Nov 10 2014, 10:01 PM) monthly on average 5k-10k contracts with minimum from SPY/QQQ/IWM amounting to 3k contracts, but I am having crappy connection to TOS, thus not considering their offer atm. TOS platform is like BMW/Mercedez but I am fine with proton atm (OX lol) It's the driver skill that matters QUOTE(yok70 @ Nov 10 2014, 11:02 PM) so breakout of 2015 is really getting interesting here.
