I think that having Palin on a presidential ticket AND giving her 48% of votes speaks for itself.... They really think we're that fucking dumb and 48% said yes. (Not that I'm saying Obama is doing a good job).... But then someone will say that we only kept a "non representative" amount...

trading stocks pre market on earnings is probably not the best idea there is....the higher the price the worse off you are because the second you put on the trade you're in the hole because of the spread.....and it could be quite a hole since some of the stocks have a $1.00 plus spread on...

buy MEE?????? Bad news - insiders are selling - P/E 34 - technicals are garbage.... on top of that the company is underperforming its peers... stock took out the trendline on increasing volume... this actually looks like a kick ass short on the next bounce... :D Did I miss...

All About Options by Thomas A. McCafferty Start there.... Nothing extraordinary, but it goes over basic option strategies, and explains the basics very well....

There's a lot of "first mouses" on this forum.... Yesterday did a lot of technical damage, for sure, but from here to talk about the trend being over and the start of a downtrend????Come on guys.... back in july, october and february everyone was already calling market tops and here we...

I wonder how many so called options traders were caught with their pants around their ankles writing puts on GS the last two weeks..... "Honey I had a good week, all the puts I wrote are about to expire worthless, I'm taking friday off and not looking at the screen until monday".... :D I...

Wrong. If you expect to be breakeven you will be breakeven or a loser. You have to expect to make money. It's the dumbest thing in the world, but in the end you get what you wish for. Shiko, I'm no great trader but I was dealing with your issues a while ago... Go talk to your mentor...

I found the perfect stock for you to trade... COMS It's like watching paint dry but you will never get stopped out trading it.....bid it then offer it a c higher....do it 20 times a day and you're gold :D I would also suggest CSCO - nice little stock that likes to find chop areas - but...

If you really like it that much and just feel like you just must have it buy options!! A 175 GS May call will cost you around $350 and this is the absolute most you can lose....you basically pay $350 per 100 shares to find out if your idea is right - GS goes back to 190 by expiration in may -...

pump and dump....so far.... Bying google into earnings is a flip of a coin, just as any other stock for that matter....you're just flipping a much bigger coin...

Write down every trade that you missed as they happen. Write your stop and profit target. At the end of the day, see how it ended up. Every month, add those up, and see how much money you would have won or lost and if missed out on a lot of profits write that number in big ass numbers where...

My thoughts - buy 55 may call for a mere 80 bucks and forget about it... If you're looking for a home run within the next month accept that it will cost you 80 bucks to find out if it works out or not.... Again, that is if your assumption is that the stock can move 50-100%.... Just not...

Sure hope you held the WYNN trade... Nice pick!

Discipline is it. It is a vague word but lack of discipline is responsible for all the biggest issues a trader can face: -lack of plan. -lack of followthrough with plan. -cutting winners before targets are met -not cutting losers timely -entering trades in chopzones -chasing -not...

From a fairly inexperienced trader, I find that sticking to one side greatly improves clarity.......and it has improved my trades...when the stock goes against my original idea, i simply ignore it.

Hard to pull the trigger when you only have 20 bullets.....

Think about something: you buy a house that you can actually afford, remodel most of the house (50K) worth make your payments on time and then your work takes a shit....and you can't pay as much as you could have....you try to do the right thing and the first possible offers are 50K below what...

I guess I'm a dumbass then, because not only I "pissed away" 5000 dollars, but on top of it I'm happy about it!!! I could tell you about guys who make money in the firm, but you'd probably say that's bs too, and it's not really my information to divulge in the first place. And honestly, I...

reggie, I think that a guy with 3 posts has to be taken lightly. Since I trade with the firm, all i can say is that results will obviously vary from trader to trader, mostly based on levels of discipline and one's ability to stick to the trading plan. 90% of traders have no discipline, I...

no other thread managed to answer this questions. Is Keystone good for new traders who want training? --> yes, you can go and take the course and have access to the live interactive room. I believe they offer a free trial of the room so you can check the room out and see if it fits your...
