    AAPL - A bloodbath in the making

    I think the important thing to note here is that AAPL shares have broken the uptrend that they were in upto the time of the stock split. At this point it would seem that a correction is forthcoming, though this could be a dangerous short right now given the upcoming quarterly results (which...

    AAPL - A bloodbath in the making

    Well, to be specific, the comparison of the two companies was actually originated by a previous poster that was talking about trading the two of them as a pair. As for the Xbox, cumulatively you are correct with regards to profitability, Microsoft is still well in the red, however the Xbox...

    AAPL - A bloodbath in the making

    I hope for his (your?) sake that a bit of correlation analysis was done, else this might be a really nice way to incur heavy trading losses. AAPL is currently undergoing a bit of a correction, and I agree that right now may not be an optimal time to take a long position, however I would be...

    AAPL - A bloodbath in the making

    Apple has been executing very, very well strategically over the past couple of years, and in my opinion has accomplished many key points that will ensure continued success in future years. Here are a few things that I consider important: - Apple Retail Stores - can't emphasize the importance...

    College grad w/ job offer and questions

    I agree with all posters on this thread that suggested sticking with your primary career path and pursuing investing/trading as a sideline in the meantime. I differ from you in that I'm a business undergrad student, graduating a bit later than you (roughly a year from now). It's likely that I...

    While it may be true that there are now many options for trading in a simulated environment, it can't compare with the thinking and emotions involved when your money is on the line.

    So basically papertrading is...

    You know, that statement actually makes me think that it would be interesting to do some studies on the success of individual traders using their own capital as compared to that of a hedge fund trader. There is a theory in finance called principal-agent theory, which basically points out the...

    Contracts for Difference

    That was actually a course that I was considering completing as well (CSC), either while I'm still finishing up University, or immediately after.

    Contracts for Difference

    Wouldn't that approach mean that your costs would rise significantly when trading equities through other brokerages, since you would no longer qualify as a "non-professional" individual? (e.g. quote stream costs)

    Contracts for Difference

    Interesting that you should mention CFDs, I first bumped into that myself this week after seeing an advertisement for Shorecan on ROB TV. I found the concept interesting, but a few things made me quite leery, one being that they allowed huge amounts of margin (95% specifically). Great way to...

    How long will it take to turn a $5,000 account into $100,000?

    I could see this being possible within a year if investing in equities, but it would involve being leveraged, so you could just as easily blow out your account if your capital and risk management strategy isn't sound.

    Anyone else think Elliot Wave is a bunch of hooey?

    I'm quite new to trading, and I make my decisions based on both fundamental and technical analysis. My opinion with regards to technical analysis is that many of the indicators add value to a trader's decision making process, but that they should not be used individually as the sole reason...

    part- time Vs Full Time

    My line of thinking is that the next year or two of University for me will give me the opportunity to trade part-time. Once school is finished, I will likely continue to work part-time at the very least, or possibly seek a full-time job that would allow me the flexibility to trade for at least a...
