    adbe long

    I agree 100%. It may stay down for a few days but it will go back up filling the gap. I read over the weekend that ADBE purposely was cautious in their prediction of next Q so as to beat it by quite a bit. I trade size and therefore have several thousand shares with a breakeven about half way...

    SHORTING - Anyone doing it here?

    I agree to be a more profitable you have to be able to both short and go long. The market is in an uptrend right now and you have to be careful. Example: I shorted YHOO on Tues after it had trouble breaking it's 52 week high at 26.25. Around 26.90 it seemed to level off and I shorted 2K...

    Adding to Losing Position or Averaging Down Cost ?

    Like most of the guys I would say it's not a good practice. I would not average down in against a trending market. A well known poster did it here last October when the market hit it's low and started going back up. He shorted QLGC and a few others and as the market moved up he shorted more...

    Like most people selling crap like this to newbies it should be made a crime if it doesn't produce. They should be made to at the very least be forced into giving full refunds. I have a friend who is trying to learn trading. Like thousands of other new people, he thinks because he is having a...

    Connectivety speeds and importance

    In my opinion a DSL line is fast enough. I use a DSL for over 2 years, and all though I use Cable now I don't see a big difference. If you are together with the way you trade and are doing okay you don't need a T line of any kind. They are very expensive with Broker fees, SEC fees, ECN fees...

    Throwing in the towel

    Everyone is not suited to be a trader. Just as everyone is not suited for many careers. Find what you like doing, and then figure out a way to make money doing it. Then do it. Nothing wrong with someone who says this is no longer for me and gets out. Most of us here all enjoy the money as...

    I am not saying it's not more expensive out here, but come on 900K for average house. I just sold a big 5 bedroom in Huntington Beach for a bit over 500K and am living in a 2 bedroom in Costa Mesa (next city over) for 1300. Both my house and this apartment are in very good areas. I will add...

    daytraders, how do you determine your stops?

    In my case it changes depending on the stocks I am dealing with, and what time of day it is, what the futures are doing etc. I trade only a few different stocks and my advice to you would be, do the same. Get to know a few. Watch what they do. Even on up days and down days there is a stair...
