Yeah that's great, but notice the title of the post genius, he doesn't trade, he invests. And many of his investments are purchasing whole companies. Unless you have that bankroll, I doubt if it will work for you. But then again, I shouldn't even be commenting on your useless smartass...

ummm.....depends on what AC stands for

I use a casio solar powered calculator for all of my data crunching.

You'd be better off with a pH indicator.

it's beyond ballsy to enter into a position afterhours on a stock RIGHT before earnings announcements. You'd have a better chance and more fun gambling. Unless you have the inside info.

I thoroughly enjoy the way you called that extremely valid point "opinionated, ill-informed garbage." Nice rebuttal, as if simply SAYING the OBVIOUS counter to the validity of this "tipping service" is garbage somehow makes that counter invalid without providing any real proof against it...

yeah articles talking about this has been around a few years. A major problem would be side effects, including emotional. (nothing is free) I'm sure there would be plenty of people that once they got a taste of it, would illegally dope themselves up as much as they could until they are...

The title is pretty self explanatory, but the reason for this post is to see how prolific a new trader needs to be at seeing profitable patterns, and from these patterns devising systems to trade. Whether it's a computer program or a dartboard, how long have your methods of trading lasted...

could someone quickly give a definition of "edge" and how it's used in context to these forums? From what I'm hearing in multiple threads it's just a system that works to make money consistently, but I keep wondering if there isn't an extra part to it I'm missing.

Hmmm...I guess looking at end of day data and swing trading could be the right path to maintain both a dayjob and trading. I have a feeling that will involve a lot more risk %-wise than what I am used to. I'm more comfortable with small consistent gains where I close my position at the largest...

Good point, due to parent pressure I would probably have to get a job out of college no matter what. But because of the job market I'm looking at 2-5 months of applications and interviews (my friend with the exact same field of study took that long to find one). So I guess during that time I...
