The big "reaction" will come in the last 15 minutes of the trading day.Right now, one of the biggest concerns among traders is the drop won't be big enough to force the house to revisit this on Wednesday.If the market closes less than 600 or so points DOWN the fear is people will look around and say, "Hey, maybe this thing isn't needed after all."

I'm a technical trader.

Whereas the market was bloody the highest traders within the world (who do take clients) were raking in up to three hundredth returns in a very year.

Sometimes I feel kind of lonely surrounded by investor friends who would gladly trade RE for whatever else they might be able to profit on.

Active trader, won some, lost some.

On the other hand, I have a friend who is an online trader who litterally made over a million dollars in 9 months starting with a 30k and is now worth over 40 million.  

Trader Joes Markets, Whole Foods Markets, Walmart Stores, advance purchase entire farm projected growth organic produce on annualized contracts, due to the high demand.  

I am also an active trader for my own personal accounts, trading a pretty wide array of asset classes; stocks, options, warrants, futures, bonds, currencies, and am just starting research in mortgage notes.I've got a few rehab deals under my belt the last couple of years, and I am looking to begin ramping up my efforts.I'll send you a Colleague Request.Regards,-Rob 

I come from a stock options investing background so I'm trying to figure out the parallels to the various strategies available to an Options trader - like call, put, straddles, butterfly, spreads etc.   

In NYC, where studios can be upwards of $1.2, I wonder the same thing -- but sometimes i see the salaries and some starting doctors are over $500,000 base + 150,000 bonus.... bankers -- front end + traders are at this... all at age 29.... real estate sales people, depending on the deals you do and who you know can make $500,000 on a few deals...
