Seems to me it's a good idead to go long BIDU (definetly another momentum stock) @ 285.00.

I don't get it, why would you rob yourself of hundreds of thousands by not compounding? You've multiplied your 25k account by 7 times according to you without compounding. If you do the math you'll see 600% on 25k is 150k in profits. If you were to double your trading size every time your...

Seems BIDU AMZN & RIMM all up from 2-6%. Way above the overall market. So much for shorting leaders; Cut or no cut.

Why short leaders?

My point is that it's way too early to say we're in a long term bear market. A lot still has to happen before things become clearer. I for one wouldn't be surprised to see this market chop between 1550 and 1350 right through to next year.

Since when is this a long term down market? The highs were less than two months ago.

Whatever became of this?

Even if you don't believe the stats; simple common sense will tell you the easier the barriers to entry, the higher the failure rate.

The succesion debate is a big thing here at the moment with everbody playing cat and mouse. The ex-vice president Jacob Zuma, doesn't stand much chance of coming out ahead. There is a new breed of black capitalist in this country who want to work towards privitisation and free markets. There is...

I live in South Africa and I'd say our problems may be big but at the same time this country is made out to be a disaster zone when it's not. There is so much opportunity here and that may be because where there is greater risk there is greater reward. We rank near the top for the most new...

This is exatly the same as buying puts.

Give him another couple of years and he could look a lot like santa claus.

No that the thread has turned into a thread about race, I think I'll chip in since I live in a country where this is very relevant - South Africa. What we have over here in the business world has become akin to reverse-racism (if there is such a thing, some might call it just plain racism)...
