Sorry but this subject has been around for the last 20 years. Many newsletter companies have made bank on that subject and they will for the next twenty years. I used to let that depress me. Don't fall for that. Just keep your own house in order and live a happy life. Don't fall for the dreary...

Yeah that would be great! Imagine printing and circulating more money that would crate inflation and as a result stocks would have to go up so we would all have huge profits. Of course those profits would just make up the extra we need to pay for that loaf of bread. BTW we do have inflation in...

The whole globe is not going to go insolvent. I'd make an agrument that it too must be zero sum game. You would think that at least. However, when valuations come down the sum total of all investments is dropping, so that mean everybody loses. That's why I do not belive at all in zero sum...

If you are a fundamental trader a service like that might help you get more info but I can't see as a technical trader how the fundamental data allows one to make timely decisions. But that is what makes the market place interesting and the difference of all viewpoints is what makes the...

The question si do you trade the news or do you trade the technical info ffrom your charts. It is important to know what your method is. You need to define that and write a trading plan, stick to that plan once you know it works. It takes patience and discipline, lots of it.

I have to have 30 posts so here I sit and adding dribble to the boards so I can get to 30. What was the point of that?

One idea is to buy the LEAPS and sell monthly premium against them kind of like a covered call. But before you do that you should get educated about that strategy.

VIX way up today and that trend is the way for the foreseeable future. I think we may see a VIX in the 40's again which will be great for optinos writers, even if the volatility makes their jobs a little harder.

It was down a lot today and the trend seems to have turned down

Yep and the short gold ETF 3x is one also

Cool I'll buy your shares!

Why hit the little guy who is already having the fight of his life against the institutions?

You make some very good points. It would indeed seem that similar R:R would require the similar amount of risk. It is probably so. The absolute risk may be the same (going under), however the trade risk would be different. An ETF would not be subject to the wild gaps that an individual stock...

It is a large cap ETF. If I understand you question correctly about" blowing up" then I would sa that a small cap stock can have a very large gap from one day to the next and this I would indeed consider a "blow up". If you mean "blow up" as in the company goes out of business then you are...

OK but a stop limit may not let you out of the postion at all in a fast moving market. If the stop is hit and the market keeps dropping right past the stop price, the limit order created by the stop order will not be in a postion to be filled.

A few items to respond to: 1. The message 'OK thanks guys' was sent just before the next post and should have been posted before MRWSM's message, but he beat me to it... 2. MRSWM: I made a mistake in the post, "12:42 today" in first paragraph refers to 4/14. Well seen... I try to only use...

OK, thanks guys.

Just look at the images shown on French and Dutch TV of Iraqis throwing stones at out convoys with food and supplies. How they are taking hostages of all nationalities. They hate all weterners and we have absolutely no business there. Let them rot in their own juices.

I just opened account with Xoomtrade. Commissions way higher than at Freetrade but when I look back through my trading log I have lost more in slippage than commissions would ever have been and also lost trading opportunities because their system is so slow. Get what you pay for, hey? I would...

I placed a market order to cover 6000 shares of QQQ at 12:42 today. QQQ was at 36.87 I clicked the review order screen and did not get a fill, I wait 30 seconds and still no fill. (This is a market order OK?) another 15 seconds go by and click again, this time one partial fill for 1000 shares...
