Fantasy Trading
Tuesday, September 25, 2007 at 10:41AM
The market isn't doing much. My watchlist is published, and fund managers around the world are leaving messages, sending e-mails and re-balancing their funds accordingly. I'm not really hungry, I have no exits to take, or positions to enter...so I guess I will blog.
About what, you ask?
Halo 3 comes out today. Have you ever played Halo? I played the first one, once. I dominated my opponent to the point that I was never invited over again, or talked to for that matter.
From the beat on the street, and the price point, it looks as if this game will single handedly push the "Softie" up to it's prior highs. You know I am struggling when I start blogging about stocks like Microsoft.
I could talk about the season premier of the Bachelor last night?
My old lady tells me that the claim about this guy being "the hottest bachelor yet" is true. After making her sleep outside, I figured I should have an underlying interest in this show so I can monitor her intake. Since I am emotionally involved, I have confided in DeAnna, Mallory, Jenni and Solisa as my Final Four.
Since I am bored, I am also toying with the idea of setting up Option Addict "Fantasy Trading." We could do this one of two ways...
One: We all compete against each other, and I dominate.
Two: Just like fantasy football, you select your teams based on trader stats, and create your own "trader franchise."
If we decide to go this route, you will want to select the bigger stronger players for your team.
Leave players like Winston, for me. They are easier to teach.
Recommendation: We'll need statements & confirms to determine stats :)
Long: Patches O'Houlihan
Short: Winston
Disclaimer: C'mon, I wouldn't dominate.... I wouldn't play.
(Just Having fun, have a good one!)

Your "old lady"?? I think Amber might have to kick you in the ass for that one! That sounds like a comment my father would make!
I think fantasy trading sounds like a great idea! Although collecting and analyzing statements and such might be a lot of work! And of course my "live" trading is more recent, so I won't have much. However you decide to work it, I'm game.
I don't watch the Bachelor so no comment there. But, I can dodge a wrentch so I can dodge a ball. :-)
Hilarious!
She'll kick me for sure. It was calculated.
Great watchlist, as always! I appreciate all the time and effort that you put into it. Thank you!
Fantasy Trading?? I think Brett and Raimo have an advantage but what the heck - I'd play.
--Patti
You know you need me.
BTW, love, the Yoda pic. I discuss I every trade w/my talking Yoda doll. Have a soft spot for anything Star Wars,guess that would put me on Eric's team. But you are the jedi master when it comes to trading.
--Patti
Laney called me Yoda. BTW, have you two been properly introduced?
Laney, Sarah...
Sarah, Laney...
Sarah is the one that provided the DVD's that Laney won.
As long as Brett has that pic, I want Brett on my team.
Well, that, plus Brett just ICE'd me..LOL..
Sorry, I didn't call you Yoda. I don't know Sarah but I am sure she is a lovely person. :-)
Was it Gloria??
Hey, I think you should play, too.
Calling Amber your "old lady" might get you into trouble. You'd better pick up some flowers.
Okay. Jeff, since you're bored, do you see a descending triangle on CME? I can't trade it anyway today because my account says I'm day trading since I closed out a small gain on the trade I took yesterday.
Michelle
Laney, so sorry.... I meant Loretta.
I'd pick you. I'm the nincompoop who bought puts on CROX on 8/16 and held them until 8/20. I'm brilliant, I know.
Plus, I spelled wrench wrong.
ICE just made me think of that movie, plus my husband just quoted it to whomever he was talking to on the phone.
Michelle
You might be able to make out the shape in CME, but it lacks the appropriate trend, which is just as important of a consideration when looking for this pattern. Remember, descending triangles/downward trend.
