    **Patriots First...Traders Second**

    i had a list of stocks i wanted to buy before this tragedy occurred just because they're oversold--and so is the market on a short term basis IMO. if there is a sell off when the markets open, we'll be even more oversold and i will get my list of stocks at even cheaper prices.

    a stock that took off

    Hello everyone, I came across a stock with a great chart since the beginning of the year. The symbol is MOVI. I've been trying to figure out what exactly happened to make the stock take off either fundamentally or technically. The move started around 1/5/01. The following news also came out...

    Offshore Trading

    Well said ArchAngel, I'm 23 and I just paid $30,000 in federal taxes, plus $6,000 for state. And someone says I should be happy for that? I agree we should all pay our share of taxes, but we are highly overtaxed right now. Most people don't pay attention to politics to understand what's...

    never letting a profit turn into a loss

    Hi, Does anyone stick to this saying? Is is smart to? I'm generally a swing trader and my exits are typically between -4% to +12%. I do use trailing stops, but say at the end of the day I have a gain of 1% in a stock. Is it really smart to move the stop loss to break even? Or should I still...

    Great New Pattern

    Hi everyone, I was just reviewing some of the charts for the stocks being discussed and I'm in the same boat as you guys. I've been doing pretty much the same thing. I'm just curious what you guys are using for entry, exit, and stop loss. Lately I've been buying with a stop buy if the stock...

    2 preset orders

    Hello everyone (this board is great), Once you enter a trade, is it somehow possible to place 2 orders to exit and whichever doesn't happen first gets canceled? I ask because I use Datek and I can only place an order to exit a position in one direction. For example, if I wanted to either make...

    taxes/retirement

    Hello, Can someone tell me if I am eligible for an SEP-IRA if all my income comes from trading stocks? Does that classify me as self-employed? If not, how can I set up an IRA if I have no other job? Thank you
