Correct, I mistyped. I think you made an error on your link though. It just takes you to a reply to topic page.

I completely agree. Before I enter into one of these trades I first ask myself, what is the risk/reward. What can I make and what can I lose. If the risk reward is bad, I don't put on the trade even if I think a correction is coming. I answer that question before I answer all others. That gives...

This is kind of a fundamental question, pertaining more towards long term investing probably, but I'll ask it anyway. When looking at financial ratios at investorhub.com, under valuation ratios for a stock there is something called TORBINS Q ratio. What is that. What does it mean? I BINGed it...

No kidding!!! Its my damn thread, yet I have a third of the posts. There is more posting about how and when I'm gonna fail than their is about my trades. One person says I should just put the 30k in a cd and paper trade for now. Then the next guy says I should put 25 k in a cd and trade with 5...

Looking out further in time you may be right. But with this particular trade I'm just looking for a temporary pull back and I plan to be in the position just a 1 or 2 days. If I don't get a pullback late today or tommorrow I will most likely close the position.

No, I'm a guy.

shorted 200 shares of xeno port, xnpt, a few minutes ago at $24.77. Typical overreaction that I see a lot in this industry. Pain reliever drug met mid stage trial goals and reduced pain with only minor side effects. they are partnered with glaxo smith kline, and they are flat right now.

45 LCC oct 09 $6 puts filled at 1.15. Stock pretty volatile this morning, jumped on the AMR news of financing. I don't think a 20% move is appropriate for news of a similiar company getting financing. Although it is good news for the industry, and the industry is up today but I don't think it...

put in a limit order for 45 oct 09 puts for LCC. hasn't got filled yet and stock keeps pulling back so I don't know if it will. Stock rallied 20 plus percent this morning on news that AMR got that 2.9 billion in financing. Also the company recently released a new "envoy suite", which is a few...

Stewart is intelligent for a comedian, but Stewart's writers are the ones behind the majority of what he has to say on his show. I'm not a Cramer fan at all but at least he is putting himself out there with his own thoughts. Postulating about the market or certain stocks knowing full well if he...

I am sure this has been discussed before but after doing a quick search I couldn't find anything. Couldn't you just purchase LEAP puts, 2-3 years out, on a bear and bull 3X leveraged etfs, like faz and fas, to profit from price decay . I mean over a long period of time, say 2 or 3 years...

n*gger= kanye black person= beyonce Might be the truest statement I've ever heard.

lol. Hopefully I can learn something from you and shorten the learning curve so I can know shit about crap by 38. Welcome to the journey.

Under no thirty year period has real estate or bonds outperformed the stock market. Thirty years is half of how long I plan to hold 2/3 of my money in stocks. And that 2/3 is not in individual stocks. Its in spy and dia. Later I'll diversify to small and mid cap indices as well. Even if I get...

I am taking mathematics in college and I have been sim trading since Febuary. But I might as well give up on all that because until I turn 40 I don't know shit about crap.

Thanks, I am not too experienced with the whole cramer bounce thing. I am going to start paying a little more attention to that. Seems to be a legion of people that mindlessly buy whatever he promotes, but after that initial bounce the next day I assume the cramer buyers will all be in and...

Would of liked to short anadarko, but internet was has been down since noon and I just got it back up. Thought about calling in the trade but then I couldn't do sufficient research. Down 1.5% after hours. Oh well.

FLEX puts. 20 oct.7.5 at $.49. Small position and I had to act quick because it is already pullling back. First started looking into it at +10% and when I bought the puts it was down to +8.5%. I couldn't find any news on it other than Cramer plugged it heavily on Mad Money, which I caught...

also, I very rarely trade a stock that has reacted to earnings or a down/upgrade. I feel that 99.9% of the moves related to earnings are completely fundamental and are not an overreaction. The only stocks that overreact to a down/upgrade are usually small or mid cap stocks. Its rare that an...

Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it. I do not consider my strategy a counter trend trading strategy. The stocks that I am trading are reacting, or overreacting, to a catalyst. I believe that it has nothing to do with a prevailing trend. In fact, I often trade with the trend in a way. For...
