Good luck this month. I hope your excellent trading performance continues.

I follow KLAC every day. To me it looks like its being accumulated right now for a run later in the day. I think this is a good spot for a long swing entry. To me shorting down here is playing with fire.

Make sure you really want it. The last time I checked the failure rate was about 95%. Know that before you start. Remember, you can still trade and keep your job if you do swing or position trades. Actually I think that type of trading is better in this market because many stocks make an...

Why don't you post a synopsis of the article instead of having us click a 'link'? For all we know it could be a 'pay-to-view' link that just wastes time. Just like the guy a week ago who posted a link of traders in an area which required a $60 fee. Give me a break.. PS I did NOT click...

How can he short an illiquid stock like that under $5? To my knowledge no broker would allow anyone to short stocks trading under $5. Even if it was shortable at the time, how many shares could he get off? The stock only traded a few thousand shares a day. Something is not right in this story.

I signed up with Quicken a couple months ago and think its a great service. I really enjoy the unlimited symbols and charts. Reliability has been great also. As far as I know there is no other service out there right now that gives all this for a reasonable price like Quicken does. I...

That's real interesting what you wrote about the commodities predicting an event not seen in a long time. It definitely portents something ominous. I hate to sound off any doom and gloom, but in 12 years of investing/trading I have learned to never doubt markets. Another thing is that...

I read a couple posts that said to avoid IBM because of the specialist. Personally, I don't think IBM is that hard to trade, and the specialist seems fair. Never have I had a problem regarding execution; even when going short when IBM was downtrending. The stocks I do have a problem trading...

I see where you are coming from about the mutual funds selling, but the same could have been said about TYC and VRSN not too long ago. Both of those were/are heavily owned and followed. TYC went up almost 50% top to bottom. VRSN has edged up 3 pts. I'm really wondering how the specialist...

I've noticed some traders on this site are into picking bottoms on oversold stocks and then riding them up a few points. Personally, I beleive that is one of the best ways to play the market right now. But the trick for me is to differentiate between a stock that goes down and stays down, and...

thanks for that link Good info could use it on a day like today....

A couple of questions: What does Innerworth charge per month/year? Is Ed Seykota a contributor to the site? Thanks cp
