So everyone is pessimistic on LVS la?

Guess i should sell it ASAP. Take profit and run. Wait for next dip.

My Q for 300 LVS shorts 18.60 didn't get hit.. oh well lowering to 18.50.

This morning pullback are just the small caps stocks. The real estates and financials are doing well.
Energy sector is flat.

The pullback attracted some dip buyers on the side.

We shall see if bulls can hang on.

i set the LVS sell price at 18.80 today lolz.

Guys, in the process of upgrading my account (Etrade) to have margin facility (to be able to short shares). Minimum requirement for initial margin is $2000. Is the current equities held in my account (my cash holdings is only around $500) counted in this case or must I add more cash for me start shorting shares?

Dunno about E-trade but my Ameritrade counts Total equities (both cash and stocks).
Feel free to ask E-Trade customer service. They're pretty user friendly and post your results here. I'm sure others are interested to know.

just sent them a message, will update here once i get their reply.

It certainly looks like the bulls strength are weakening these past 3 trading days. We can hardly go above S&P 1110, hovering around this area only. Still, we don't have enough bad news to cause a major sell off yet. I think it will come soon.

But,.. a bit of good news for BAC:
http://www.economy-news.co.uk/bank-of-amer...ation-1811.html

Therefore, some of you may want to buy some during this dip (if it does) for BAC during the weakening of the major indices.

C may be riding on BAC strength today.

Update @ Closing 5:24am
Dow 10426.31 -11.11 -0.11%
Nasdaq 2193.14 -10.64 -0.48%
S&P 500 1109.80 -0.52 -0.05%

Dip buyers came in at last hour to buy back.. almost flat.
This pullback didn't work well for bears.

But, it is good to see C got some strength today, riding along BAC even on down days.
C may start re-testing 4.40 barrier soon.

For LVS, bears won. Came back down to 17.x from highs of 18.50.
Congrats to you if you were able to sell above 18.

Got the margin facility already and according to their reply, all marginable securities are counted as part of equity.

Negative divergence in Dow Jones and SP 500 daily chart.
Bear will overcome the bull soon.
Preparing bullets for put. hehe..

LVS downhill. Nice, now move to $16 quickly.

S running wild. While holding, its not moving. Now throw, it moved. (LONG at 3.43, STOP at 3.5), now moving near $4.
ETFC moving, hope will breach 2.00$

opinion wise, it looks confusing, how come market so resilient with the bad news?
momo expecting / sensing sumting better ahead?
but to do tat, a heavy pullback is required (then can short lvs & wintercampers to longkang )

new high failure - vprt
swing trade failure - gok, aro, acmr,
swing trade watching - pl, icon, ire, atpg, ocn, stec
waiting pullback for pyramiding while riding new high - nflx, iag, amzn, med
case study to make traders tire & exit position - spar (base on experience with tis type, after i sell, they go up but if i hold, it either go down or continue tidur ) no prob for FA to sleep thru it

imo, if u r gambling cheap options with expiry tis friday
market makers will drop stock, if too many call buyers
& will up stock, if too many put buyers
sometimes, stock no move, then call & put buyers mati bersama-sama, haha...
tat y i prefer longer expiry date
means nex week, i expect some real movement

opinionwise, it would be nice to hav a correction... then use buffet method buy maxis
FA lovers, is maxis under / over value? seen the thread, but nothing on tis value thingy yet

anyway for now, market is alwiz right, so no choice hav to follow trend
darn, i need to read louyah analyst report again...

Stocks slipped Wednesday, dealing a setback to the market's renewed uptrend.

The indexes reached their session highs within the first 15 minutes of trading and then remained on the downside the rest of the day. A weaker-than-expected housing report rattled the market.

Declining issues led gainers by a 3-to-2 ratio on the Nasdaq and by 5-to-4 on the NYSE.

The market, however, remains in an uptrend, and a strong finish lessened the sting of Wednesday's losses somewhat.

All four major indexes finished in the upper third or better of the day's ranges.

There's also been some encouraging action among leading stocks in this fledgling uptrend. A number of breakouts among highly rated stocks appear to be working. The uptrend that began on Nov. 2 — and confirmed as such with a follow-through day on Nov. 9 — has yielded about 10 noteworthy breakouts so far.

They include gold miners Iamgold (IAG) and Barrick Gold (ABX), up 22% and 8%, respectively, from their buy points; advertising services firm DG FastChannel (DGIT), up 17%; China-based banking software provider Longtop Financial Technologies (LFT), up 5%; fertilizer company China Green Agriculture (CGA), up 14%; and China-based heat-recycling products maker SmartHeat (HEAT), up 7%.

China Green Agriculture and SmartHeat broke out Wednesday as Chinese stocks stood out.

Another plus is the Baltic Dry Index. An indicator for the world economy, it measures shipping demand vs. the supply of carriers. It recently pegged a 52-week high.

My first cash withdrawal from my SOGOTRADE account went smoothly. So for those who still skeptical about SOGOTRADE, you can leave your worry aside.

Wanted to average down my ETFC but ran outta bullets.
On another note, here's some news on ETFC and it probably explains why it went up yesterday:

nyum nyum... look at futures - izit for real? then, cheaper maxis, here i come
also, soon its time to pay a visit to longkang? wonder who could be the lucky candidates
i need confirmation...

if ever Mr Bear come pay us a vist, i would like present a case study on 'assumed trading behaviour', it exist or not?
then, its a game of chicken
if no Mr Bear, no maxis case study

the brave ayam will hold it for dunno how long, no matter how low it goes, i guess they show no fear at all
the speculative ayam would have cut loss, coz dunno they use own money, credit card, ah long or etc to buy maxis & attempt t+3 contra
the contra ayam, sure mati
the smart ayam will use this opportunity to collect as many as possible, but they 'momo' got almost unlimited peluru & they have patience to wait
....waiting to update my above teori

Why stop playing already or earn enough? U transfer to your US account?

Finally, Bears should be happy today...

Let's ride this baby down... let's hope for a good 10% pullback over several days be good for
the Dow and S&P.

if bear pullback its for real, my 1st candidate would be the noisy lvs - no offense...

& to close off all swing trade position & new high gambling portfolio too... pls Mr Bear, come back

Yup withdraw to US bank account. I just withdraw only 30% of the fund to transfer to my other account at Just2Trade. Still playing.
