Bearish conditions? Maybe, but this is no 2000... The techs burst in the Qs was burning rocket fuel, when it ran out the burst affected unrelated parts of the markets. Look at the Dow, its quite a bit higher than in 2000. S&P is in the same area as in 2000. But the NASDAQ isn't even close to...

fun posts, but I've got to ask... How the hell is this thread still in "Trading"? I'll give 2:1 it fizzles before page 7, or 3:1 it hits "chit chat" before page 8.

I remember the bubble burst. In fact I was just starting out back then. Everyone and their Mom were yelling DOOMSDAY! AHHHH! It was a really great market to learn in. I personally love large retracements and downward spirals. They move big and do it a hell of a lot faster than holding indices or...

That's better than 1 inch 9 times... lol Are you going to tell QQQBALL's parents on him too? Something about his past posts tells me that he's one guy that wouldn't give two shits... Like the Trading and Dating posts. That was a good thread...

aha! I personally use a crude oil powered Mac... while using Google, from my iPhone...

Alas, a brilliant idea! In fact, so brilliant, that someone else thought of it first. Look at the top of the page, and to the right. This magic feature you seek is called "Search." It is quite a novel concept, and I think it will revolutionize the way people "surf" on the "intra-web."

Trading is like playing Razz, 7card Stud, and Omaha... Most of the amateurs involved have no clue what they're doing. They jump in head first, lose more than they can afford to, and then go complain about it on internet forums. :D

Is this your trading Plan of Action? You "specialize" in less than ten stocks, 90% of your trades come from these stocks, and usually from only one or two of them. You only have one time frame for trading (ie 5min-30min). You'd rather miss a trade because you couldn't get your limit order...

When I wrote my post earlier in this thread, I had thought his prediction was for Dow. It is in fact for the S&P. My mistake. In this case though, I'd say the S&P could turn bear down to 1100-900, but I highly doubt it will happen as fast as the drop in 2000, which in turn would make it less...

I say Dow back to 12,900 to 13,300 by year end plus or minus a month... but definitely not down anywhere near 40% by Q3 2008. That would be one and a half times the size of the 2000 bubble burst... Although I would love to see that short market and get that kind of value on the long side after...

i was recently informed by a buddy of mine that I, and many others, are doing with the open what the SOES bandits did with scalping... I just laughed at him. (he works for Edward Jones) Scalping is dead. It was called decimalization. It sucked. Move on. The only thing even remotely...

UMBF's afternoon peak and valley was nice. I rode both sides. Morning shorts were good, but started getting shook after the bottom at lunch. I anticipate flat, uneventful charts coming shortly, the Dow probably confirmed that notion today. Volume without much volatility, then probably a...

Just like I did with mine!!!! ..! !!!!/ .!!! YEAYE!!!!

Wow. That was a pretty good post. I think I'll pat myself on the back... :D Like I said, I'm not on very much anymore but I think this thread is about the only worthwhile contribution I've made to ET. So I'm going to periodically bump it so beginners can easily find useful guidelines and equally...

And the other 8 would bitch about it being made out of cardboard and asbestos... Mmmm, pie throwing. Droooool... hahaha... great posts. Oh, and AAPL is at a peak, imo. I like ILF. Here fishy, fishy, fishy... :D

very well said. Harsh thread, but overall it's a good warning for beginners.

another bump. Beginners: I'm not on ET very much anymore, but if you have questions post them on this thread or send jho a PM and ask him for his take. I'm too busy these days to even check my email, let alone throw pies at people on ET, but I wanted to give this thread another bump because...

bump.

100% agreement.

Or their damn college loans start stacking up... Seriously though, this guy deserves to be shot again.
