If you ever consider a position outside of trading I think you would do real well as a fiction/non-fiction writer. You certainly got me and a lot of other folks plugged in and know how to tell a story. As Mark Twain said: "Truth is stranger than fiction because fiction has to make sense"...

I'm following several stocks that have been trending up on weeklies: BA (Boeing), FON (Sprint) and so forth. If a stock that has been on an upward trend fails to go down in price when the market goes down as much as it did today, is that considered a buy signal? Would like to read some...

When I began trading in February I immediately found myself getting plugged in to the five basic emotions: fear, shame, sadness, anger, and happiness to the point where my decision making became emotionally dependent. As I would observe events taking place my behaviors became increasingly...
