Well. Posting my thoughts here has been a big help. Kind like an on-line journal of my stock trading. It's been very obvious that i OVERTHINK things, so thanks for getting that feedback. It's part of my training from working in nuke safety to be practically obsessive about "getting it...

i got up to own 1000 @ $1.90 and have been buying more and that price and am now ahead of the line at both $1.90 and $1.91 and was getting fills at both prices, and so far have not had to pay $1.92. gotta see how many shares i have. it's kind of hectic and no coffee yet. i do have a position...

aw shucks. sorry for not replying, topdown. i just learned the hard way that if you write a post here that's too long, this message board loses the text and displays a message saying it's too long and i try to go Back and it says Page Expired. Jeez. i spent over an hour writing tthis REALLY...

You're welcome. We can all learn something. It may have been you (i'm new here and "not good at faces") who said they were surprised that they could understand my complicated post about the health physics stuff. Anway, what i found when at work, is that being able to explain things to people...

Greetings: An off-topic discussion about another stock here at ET http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=87070&perpage=6&pagenumber=9 has veered OT to talk about COR, which had a high-volume upside breakout last Thursday because of the news they announced Wednesday at the...

Thankl You SO MUCH for the RSI ~=90 indicator. That is EXACTLY what i was hoping to find: an objective indicator that the top was very close, which was reached on Wednesday, the day CBLI topped at $13.99. Now i will be using the RSI in my intra-day charts and see how well it predicts tops...

Well, Thank You very much, kind sir! I came here to try to become a better trader. Trading is a lonely occupation. I know that sometimes i come off as very brash and arrogant, so please pardon me for my occasional rudenesses, which you seem to have done. I'll try to be more polite because...

You're right about the regret part. You seem to be on a par with me, though, as to being "condescending, [and] holier than thou." I've figured out the regret part. The distraction actually cost me a good opportunity Friday to buy a micro-cap biotech stock on my watchlist, COR, which had a...

i've always heard it be called Gambler's Fallacy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy

I guess you think Behavioral Finance (BF) is rubbish too. But in fact, your flip dismissal corroborates the truth of my statement, at least in part ... my statement that is. What do you think of me saying instead that TA is an encapsulation of heuristic predictive rules based on human...

had to edit that attachment. Here's that Yahoo 5-day without the below market possibly phony trade @$12 showing.

You must have a lot of faith in that source of information if you sold it for around $10 because you were afraid to hold it over a 3-day weekend. I thought that i might find some traders here who have reasons for their buys and sells besides gut feelings. The only sell signal that i can...

You're right about the economic impacts of an RDD vastly outweighing any radiological-safety concerns. All of that was addressed in a 3-year project i led which resulted in the only current public DOE report on the subject. And i was HOPING for something objective, like TA ...

It's obvious you know nothing about that subject. Bomb? What happens when there's an explosion? It makes aerosols. Duh. I worked on that stuff for over 20 years.

4-day chart of CBLI top. what could have told me to get out at $13 that is an OBJECTIVE indicator, not just a gut feeling that it's "too high"??????? it's driving me CRAZY because i could have had $10 K that literally was in my hands and i let it evaporate away. i'm coming here and...

Well, to address your first question. There are three conventionally recognized mechanisms of "early fatality" for ARS, which i'll refer to by target organ and respective approximate LD50 (in Gy) in their usual order of importance (assuming no treatment) for "PROMPT" internal and external...

Here's an example of the value of sharing successful strategies: classical chart theory a la Murphy and Edwards/Magee. Why do stocks follow trend channels and also bounce off support and resistance points, etc.? It's psychology. If nobody "knew" about technical analysis, then it would be...

P.S. re trading by your gut ... it defies the SCIENCE of behavioral finance (my guide to trading, remember?) which says that market ALWAYS overreacts. well, that overreaction is more frequently to the downside than to the upside, but with CBLI we had Irrational Exuberance to the upside...

stoney, Thanks for your kind words. It's people like you who make me feel it worth posting on a message board. FWIW, my CBLI position was huge! 5000 shares. That's A LOT of Valium to watch it gain 18% for NO REASON! And you seemed to infer only part of my stock picking method, which is...

another explosion? no. i definitely can't handle the worry. so ... since the best (and certainly the simplest!) indicator for a short-term trend reversal is a declining close, and today's last trade of around $12.77 is well below the previous close of $13.38 (by a significant 4.5%) .. i...
