There is nothing worse than a reformed: Smoker Drinker As their zealotry becomes unbearable. I would add you and Trader, as you anoint yourself Savior of the downtrodden , saving them from themselves. Talk about arrogant, and demeaning the intelligence of those who seek to try for...

If you have seen other FED days , you would know that the first move is usually a headfake. That was like any other FED day. The real move usually happens 2-3 days later. If that first move stuck there would be no thread as another poster echoed.

This kid is too far gone.

Poorly. See 2001-2003. Brokers are a proxy for the econ. an sp500.

If you recall 2003 was a monster up year..went further than people thought. So my buddy would short EBAY, and AMZN, RIMM made detailed cases for why they should tank, etc. I agreed to a large extent with his reasons, but was not the right time. He was convinced they would open down 10-20...

I agree, to a an extent, but his need to be right, exceeded that of making money. Which is the goal at the end of the day. He said everything you said almost daily. Find out what's blocking your progress, or learn to use what you know in a diff. way. I was just trying to suggest an...

Narrow your focus to one or two stocks, and observe how it acts, where the prints are, how it moves with the market, etc ... Your'e overwhelmed with all that data. Start narrow, and small.

I was just referring to your frustration ..I never asked about you P+L... Insecure?

Every thread you start is about this..man your frustration is so thick ..I'd swear you were in my house... With all those negatives, the market is still going up..it's talking loudly so far, and you are not listening. You remind me of a friend back in 03, who was short ebay, amzn, rimm...

Short what good news? PFE has been in a bear market for 8+ years ...focus your efforts somewhere else, the senitment on PFE and DRG in general has been abysmal for years ..time to buy Check the inverse H+S pattern on the 5 yr. Done going down. See MRK also.

For nutrition Gnome and Illiquid had that covered ... Not for the faint of heart, but assuming you are in decent shape add this to your arsenal: http://www.crossfit.com/ I started this in Feb/06..the gains are unreal, and amazing. Ex. 2/06 5-6 parallel dips 1 set/max 7-06 17-20...

Also not many serious market declines have started from a P/E of 14.7, and an earnings yield of close to 7% And for all the talk of a bear market, the SP dropped 7.5%, well within the paramaters of a correction... Add to that , that the market has been essentially the same price on...

Market is guessing the next fed move will be a cut in 4th qtr, 1st str 2007... greasing the wheel for the next cycle... Looking ahead 6-9 months

It takes a quite a bit of feel to trade earnings, so if you are new i would just watch for the reactions to a report +/- .... That said I would watch stocks with heavy sponsorship and only when they report a good variance from expected, and a material change in outlook.
