I sold my MBI $15 call options for .90 this morning. A 70% profit. Thinking of picking up some Apple put options, I think we may have a pull back in the works and Apple has had a sizeable run up since its earnings release.
^ lol thats a funny comment. using fundamentals or technical analysis does not make you a fortune teller. . . I think mgrunin's previous post proves that. He knows enough of the technical side (or appears to at least) and still lost money. If he does that three or four more times it will take a big chunk of his profit. . .
mgrunin that wasn't a shot at you just that last post was a good example as to why their is no reason why you should get rich in this market.
My account was up 40% YTD about 3 weeks ago now its down to about 8%. . .mistakes hurt.

No one will ever be 100% right in the market, but its about following a discipline and limiting your losses while trying to maximize your gains. Its not easy that's for sure

it's mostly just triangles and lines drawn at inflection points to represent support and resistance levels
