Something to read about raising the INTEREST RATE.

So, LONG all the way?

what tax? tax only apply on DIV received. Else - nothing. Anyway, ask E-Trade, they are in better position to answer you.

best bet is Casino operators. Econ improves, ppl gambles more??

You have BYD, MGM and LVS.

wow.

Dollar got beaten again, GOLD historic high, approaching $1200. What's next? 2000$?

Close INTC, bought x 300 @19, closed x 300 @ 19.45 +130$
Close URE x 300 @6, closed x300 @6.25 +65$

Bought both when market dipped.

Long LVS x200 @16.55. Missed 15.80-16.00 yesterday but looking good for another entry today as 3 mega news to be un-leashed.

Will go for TNA today (35-36$), pre-market reddish.

Watchout for 3 mega-news today. I'm expecting mixed results and market will back down a bit.

- Core Durable Goods Orders m/m @ 930
- Unemployment Claims @930
- New Home Sales @ 11

True but cannot put long as well, coz now commodities are running on steroids. I will not enter LONG position even the dollar is fcuking cheap now.

For stocks, Let one or two analyst write bad about some counters, the market will dive for the day. Time to re-enter.

aiyoooh. reddish across the board. Chinese new year comes early today?

Will re-enter INTC, LVS after d news

shorted INTC x 300 @ 19.45 +18c and counting.

True, listen : FED unofficial news says no interest rate hike until Q1, 2010.

Err bro, what's so good about DSX?

if you know that MGM/LVS going down, why not SHORT sell it?

how many times Danmon and me keep pressing you, its not yet doomsday? Don't you get it?

Dollar is cheap...

XLF/UYG not moving much lately. Still remains in the zone.

Sold my LVS. Now only holding:
C (for kurap) and ETFC (speculation of take over)

what the fcuk?

LONG LVS, INTC, URE, UYG.. GO GO GO

what d fcuk? INTC and LVS rebounded. Hell, just wait and see. Will re-enter next monday, perhaps after empoyment news?

Trade details. Look at the commissions paid

Still, since MBtrading is better in many area such as SHORTing of stocks, fast on-line help, not too strict on the margin requirement, so I stick to 'em.

Attention ETF traders - Margin requirement for ETF x2, x 3 increased ! WTF..

true, "short" sellers are being squeezed, authority "punished" by slapping a bigger fine aka upgrade of margin requirements.

woot, those are CASINO LEVEL chips. Never so far I hold or trade 3x ETF, be it LONG or SHORT

Funny wave today.

Asia all GREEN except Singa, Malayzia and Pinoy Land.

Europa almost 95% red and US Future = GREEN?

rumours from Dubai, the promise land that more to come?

Let visit banks with big exposure in Dubai development.
