Lobster, of course i can't... if I did, one little thing I say wrong could land me in jail. Who would be willing to sentence themselves to that kind of punishment?

I don't think I've found the Holy Grail as I probably couldn't duplicate this again, unless of course, I don't sell this week, and next week is up big again. I think the Holy Grail is hidden in the phrase "Buy and HOLD, or stop out" I think the holding the winners is the holy grail. And...

i think thats too advanced for me at this point. I don't have any experience with it or how to do it properly.

[ QUOTE]Originally posted by sabena Permabull, Change the word "cynic" into "critical", that's a good attitude for a trader.... Maybe this broker known's what he is saying......(is an exception on the rule) actually, i think the word is nasty. There...

It looks like an overwhelming majority of traders think I should take all my profits off the table. This does seem to go against the rule, or should I say good habit, of "letting winners run". I read that is one of the main reasons why daytraders fail. Because they don't let their winners...

wow. I've found on my brief visits to ET that most traders are cynics. I wonder if becoming a cynic is the result of being a loser or a winner.

I don't know what kind of bad experiences you guys have had with brokers, but I generally have had only good ones. Charles Schwab is great for starters. My broker friend is pretty savy. He uses fundamentals and what he calls "market internals" plus he has connections so he knows about...

most buy and hold investors didn't invest 6 months ago, or even 2 -3 years ago. buy and hold investors buy when P/E is low. The investors that bought during the bubble were more like traders in the sense that they jumped in because there was momentum, not because of solid investing criteria...

Since I bought my combination of stocks, stock options, and eminis 9 trading days ago on the 2nd of August, my universal IB account is up 100%. My question is: My broker friend is saying that this is just the beginning. The markets will rise alot more. He hand fed me the exact stocks...

I only play the market long as you guys would say. I could have just lucked out when I bought two fridays ago, but I have a feeling it had more to do with my stars. Is this the bottom? Is what the bottom? Markets are all up off their lows, so what bottom are you talking about? Do you...

I'm long. Thats all that matters to me. I didn't catch the exact bottom thats for sure, no one catches exact bottoms. But my broker got me this far, and he says we go up and up and up. That said, yes I think the bottom is behind and below from where we are speaking now.

since I only ever buy into the stock market like once a year, I really try to make it count when i do. I want this baby to reach for May highs, then I'll start taking money off the table. My broker says new bull market, but I have a philosophy about buy and hold investing. It involves the...

my broker friend just called me up and he's ecstatic. All the clients he advised to go net long on Friday are calling him up with more money to buy, and he's telling them to load up the boat. I'm pretty happy too but I wouldn't say I'm ecstatic as we take out fridays highs. I wanna see us...

most daytraders eventually lose all their money most buy and hold investors eventually make money. the market didn't go down because of short selling, it went down because smart money took their profits. Short selling is just a small part of the bigger picture.

most software services require you to have multiple licenses to do that stuff, or they specifically state that it's illegal in their license contracts. that doesn't mean I wouldn't do it, but it would certainly put it in perspective.

Did the bull market happen because of earnings? Earnings aren't really a factor for me. The market sentiment is almost 100% bearish, thats why the smart money, and I mean loads of it, are buying here.

Trust me, the smart money is buying right now. My money is smart, my broker friend is smart, and u'd be smart to buy now. I'm talking strictly buy and hold. The buy and hold crowd that bought oil companies like Texaco for 10 cents a share, they are buying the Nasdaq now, and some Dow...

gerry, i buy because broker friend says buy. He says smart money is buying and shares are cheap, thats good enuf for me. sides, ENE is cheap :D

my broker friend says we start going up this week, so I guess I put my stop loss on stocks just below last weeks lows.

We get a 2 year bear market and everyone thinks the market has to go to 0 now. This group of elite traders is going to get taken completely by surprise when the overall trend resumes up and we get new highs on the dow and the nasdaq composite. Why is everyone so bearish on a little...
