    Fear and The Market 1 of 2

    I'm glad you enjoyed the post. Yes that is another fear I...missing out. I tried doing that too, dropping down timeframes. If I were you, I WOULD NOT DROP DOWN timeframes, (IF YOU'RE NOT USED TO IT). You may be causing more damage. You'll go from being a marksman, to a "tommy gun". I'm not going...

    ACS - getting close to breaking support

    I put my reply in your quote.... I see all that your saying. I see the $41.50 to $43 range as a big thick slab of concrete that's going to need a big jackhammer of selling pressure. However, the overal trend of the stock suggests that this has a chance of happening. It would be...

    ACS - getting close to breaking support

    Welcome to ET. I'll spare you some of the welcomes I have received from SOME fellow Seniors here. I post here to help people as well, and I get alot of questions, most of which are constructive. So here's a constructive question... What's your opinion of all the significant support between...

    Virus ?

    I'd take this route. It'll be a PIA to install and configure new HDF, but worth it in long run. Once a HD chokes like that, I never trust them ever again. from the movie Swordfish...."Now son you've got yourself a 300lb Rottweiler, and you love him. But when he bites you, you gotta put him...

    Fear and The Market 1 of 2

    I’m pleased that you found the essay interesting. I always hold until my target. My emotions of greed and fear have burned me to many times, so I stick the points and avoid situations that will cause my emotions to get the best of me. When the trade is pretty clear-cut and dry, I enter and...

    Women on the wall street

    Nah. Only speaking from my experience with female traders. Very amazing how females fit many of the stereotypes, and none of many others.

    Women on the wall street

    Aside from Elaine Garzarelli, and Muriel Siebert there are not too many others that I know. I will say this, of all the traders I have taught and mentored, women by far seem to have the propensity to be more successful than men, the same is true on the golf course. I've had women play through my...

    Fear and The Market 1 of 2

    The only way to increase control over a situation is to have control over each of its components. When I trade, I try to have control over as many components as possible: - Technology: I learned about networking, firewalls, viruses, install memory, change hard drives, etc. Get comfortable...

    Prop requirements in house........

    Everyone here has said the same thing, and they are right. If you're producing and you're conisistent, going MIA or remote will not bother them. The question you must ask yourself is, can you trade just as well alone. If you can, then you may want to consider other options, like going to a firm...

    Discipline - Continued

    I know very little about aviation, but here's what I was told by someone who flies Cessna-like planes. You cannot tell whether or not your ascending or descending, the G-force has the same affect on the body. I took a flight with him and experienced just that. Many people get so accustomed to...

    Mr Market Methods

    Mr. Market, I have some questions... 1) While I believe there is creedance in fundamental analysis, I have also learned that there is a major difference between a company and its stock. I see them as two completely different entities. When the technicals outperform of the underlying stock...

    Brilliant! This is how it is done.

    This says it all. Once in a while pretend that your not trading stocks, and you own a vegetable stand, would you be paying "X" amount of $$ for a produce news feed. It all gets back to simple supply and demand, really the perception of supply and demand. So many traders overcomplicate the...
