    What will the stimulus do to mkt?

    Yea, we already are laying on the bottom. Good stocks wont get much lower, so buy now, and sell when the next sizeable rally. Then buy more after a sell off, etc etc. Its great. Anybody can make money now on even the really crappy stocks like FORD when it pops up on the 17th when GM and...

    im long some RIMM

    Ok, we are back in the races again. Bearish news about all these rescue plans didnt spark a big selloff after the run up, but if a small pullback, then Ill just buy more RIMM. The market overall may be experiancing a little of a suckers rally, as some call it, but RIMMs believers just seem to be...

    How to trade a pool of money?

    Im not 100% sure, but I don't think what you are talking is legal. It is my thinking that to trade other peoples money, you have to be trained and licensed as a stock broker. That way you know how to fully inform clients of risks, and protect yourself with state backing, if the trading goes bad...

    Is it possible to short your own stock?

    over 7000 posts and all you can say is SICKOs? I dont have time to post that many. Im too busy trading.:D Anyhoo, say you got a 10 point movement in trending direction, but got 8 1 point reversals before you get there. Let me change that, its too complicated. Lets make it 2 - 1point...

    im long some RIMM

    Well it will only run as far as people are willing to let it run in the short term, and people seem to be itching for a pullback after this run. So its getting to be anybodys guess how much further it goes. But now there is rumors that the stimulus is coming together, sort of like what they said...

    im long some RIMM

    Oh yea I'm sure its good for RIMM. They get a kickback from those contracts. Palm data plans cost the most which partly pays for the phone and they get a continuous subsidy on their use. And I'm sure the initial phone price is inflated now because we normally see phone prices after contract and...

    Is it possible to short your own stock?

    Why sell the position, if its a good position? Just snip out the short reversal with a in/out against the box. No need to put up with reversals when you can make even more money with one quick in out. Plus its more psychologically acceptable when taking profits. Your long may not be sitting in...

    im long some RIMM

    Well once again Im left scratching my head wondering which way its going. So I hedged my shorts at 59 to protect their profit. Now Ill sleep good. If it gaps up, Ill just add more longs and watch what happens. If it gaps down, Ill dump the short and add more longs. Sometimes you never know till...

    im long some RIMM

    I have been very busy trading shorts and longs on both ends of 59. But there comes a time when im now fully short and will ride a pullback. Its friday. People are going to take their gains. Its expected to take a little breather before moving up further. We still have 4 weeks till earnings and...

    im long some RIMM

    Ok folks. Right this minute, I really dont know which way RIMM is going. So, when I get in this predicament, I got long and short an equal amount. And thats what I am. We hit our head against 60. certainly very temporary, but its a Friday with a big run up. When we get some kind of a pullback...

    im long some RIMM

    SWKS makes radio chips for cell phones and they dont do to bad. But they warned yesterday that revenues will drop 20% next quarter and their stock is up today over 30%. Unbelievable reaction. Who could have figured. Folks, we are on a bottom fishing tear rally up. Congress gridlocked, AND the...

    im long some RIMM

    And a little birdy told me that it will hit $873 by next month. Comon man, if you post stuff like that, then post the link. We want to know exactly what people are saying and discovering about this company. And we also want to know what their credentials are. Thats the point of these forums. To...

    Why did stocks go up today?

    If you grind this market down long enough, ie, all year long, we may be able to get that low. But I just dont see the kind of news in the pipe to do that in the next few months. And for right now, there are just not enough sellers, versus bottom fishing buyers, and not enough shorts available...

    Why did stocks go up today?

    Yup, hes right. Do your homework and try to figure the most probable course and prepare. But keep a sharp eye and watch before you fully act. Congresses vote may yet end tonight in gridlock so you never know for sure. But if they do pass their bill, I am thinking it will take really really bad...

    Why did stocks go up today?

    I just try to keep answers simple. Freetradingvideos.com is great for the indepth chart analysis. And as far as Congress doing the right thing, I highly doubt they are, but right now the market is simply looking for something other than gridlock. If they make an anoucement that sounds better...

    Is it possible to short your own stock?

    I only have one account and it registers as 2 seperate positions when I do it. If news pops up and reverses the direction, I have bought double hedge to make money on the reverse if I think it will run abit, like in a rally. When it peters, dump the hedge and Im further up making money on down...

    Is it possible to short your own stock?

    Don't knock it till you try it. My trading account just goes higher and higher everytime I do it. And I will always do it when the movement calls for it. I shorted NOK way up in 15s and had to wait a month for the pathetic earnings that eventually cut it down. But in the mean time, that thing...

    Is it possible to short your own stock?

    I do it from time to time and at 1000 shares at a time. I do it with my NOK trades. If I'm with the trend and another day it starts to back up on me, Ill buy the other way to stop my loses. All it takes is one commission. When the reverse movement peters out, I dump the hedge trade and I have...
