I'd say your off to a good start. I was thinking about this post as I traded in some longs for shorts today. What tools do you use to come up with your analysis?

Way to go. Good to hear your still holding. It cleared the 50% retracement with no problem and closed above the July highs on good volume. The 62% resistance is around 31.05, so keep that in mind.

Nice job. ARA looks like a good one.

Definitely, know yourself. If you don't, the market will teach you to soon enough. But, should we view the market as the enemy? If so, I like Lao Tse's quote: The best soldier does not attack. The superior fighter succeeds without violence. The greatest conqueror wins without...

Really great points there. But I think they act of "wanting" something, per se, is psychologically damaging. The very act of wanting something pushes it away from you. What you need is more than a sense of "want". You need to already believe in the outcome you wanted. You have to live as...

Nice going! The stock had good momentum, good volume, and was beginning an up cycle. So, you timed the purchase well. And as they say, "when" you buy is much more important the "what" you buy. If you don't mind some comments... I show ADBE with a relative strength ranking of 69. And...

Thanks, thenewguy. I restrict buys to RSR above 80 and short to below 45. Note however, this is not RSI. It is RS "Rank". Like in IBD. Comparing the stock's performance relative to the whole stock universe... I think.

I think it is very important that you get rid of any fear a losing streak might cause. Maybe take some time off, just studying the markets and maybe doing hypothetical trades to test yourself.

I shorted BLI (Big Lots) today. I also like TLB (Talbots) as a short.

You know, I've been thinking about that, and I think I will. Its just deciding, how long...
