These institutional data vendors are taking their cues from Martin Shkreli. They reckon that hedge funds and other pros are not price sensitive, and even if they lose 75% of their customers, they'll still be net positive on the price raise. They're no different from the private equity firms...

I BEG TO DIFFER ... YOU GET OUT OF IT WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT ... PROPER PLANNING AND LOW EXPECTATIONS ALONG WITH SUPPORT SYSTEM CAN CREATE A GOOD DAY TRADER WITH PROFITS

I concur ... many traders who leave "in the know houses" are plying their wares to unsuspecting firms who will put up money for them to trade based solely on track record they created with "in the know " firms . It is totally different game when you have no news,no order flow nor "in the...

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY THIS STOCK HAS SUCH A HUUUUUUUGE DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO..... PRETTY SCARY

SELLING RALLIES IN PCLN IS WAY TO GO

There are many fly by night outfits out there that just want your money in their "pool" ... they claim they will teach you IF you put $10,000 - 50,000 up in an account for A YEAR (THAT CAN NOT BE TAKEN OUT WITHOUT PENALTY BEFORE YEAR IS UP ) They let you sit in their office for a while ,while...

I thank all for posting and giving their views... as you can see this was first posted May 9th and PCLN was at $720 ... It seems to me selling the rallies may be a better strategy than buying the pullbacks considering the Facebook debacle as well as ALL the uncertainty in the markets...
