Cramer is always ranting about watching a company's financials and I've found him to be right about that discipline. Right now I'm watching something developing that could really rock their boat hard. I just can't see how it's happening and how a publicly traded company could...

This may be elementary for most of you but I have found that using my rsi(2) and MACD scans works best for long term rising stocks, helping me to essentially buy on dips within an overall rise. The reverse has been true for me when shorting using rsi(10)EOD on stocks that have been falling...

when you stop learning...........you stop growing. I am always on the search for a new perspective. I look forward to your posts. Thanx in advance, eb

I get the general jist of opinions about "market gurus" on this site but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Larry Swing of SWINGTRADES and his various services and software. He emails me everyday with tips and angles for trading and some of his stuff does make...

RSI(2) is charted on the "daily" chart. Those guys often used it alone but it's no Holy Grail. I use it as a confirmer along with the others I mentioned, as a short term trading help. I'm usually in and out in 1-3 days.

The old saw that it's capital preservation that saves the portfolio is true for me. My strategy picks tops and bottoms OK, it's the failure to stick to my stops that erodes the balances on trades that are placed too soon. As for the learning curve and am I getting better, yes, slow but sure. But...

A pretty smart guy once told me years ago that we all have pretty much what we want. I didn't believe it back then, but the older I get, the smarter he seems to have been. In our society, there are apples hanging from trees almost everywhere. It's up to us to figure out how to pick them. A...
