    My Plan (part two)

    Bear market rally huh? I don't think this market is going to rally another 50 percent near term, but it will certainly not get anywhere near the lows of this bear market. I will not lose 80 % because unlike you I think with a level head and don't get all emotional about the market. Good like on...

    Ford: Government gave us massive pork & all we could manage was +21%. FEAR the next Q

    wow ford cannot beat sales estimates even when the government is throwing money at the consumer to buy cars. With the new and improved (maybe) GM coming back next year, I think ford is way overvalued right now.

    look for a beta much higher than 1. You can type that into just about any stock screener. If you dont know what beta is then google it.

    Getting long Ford

    I believe Ford is probably the strongest US auto maker. The worse Chrysler and GM do the brighter the future looks for Ford. I think Ford is a strong stock, for the auto sector at least. However, why would you want to get long on F right now? The timing is terrible imo. Buying F after it just...

    Where did the "90% are losers myth come from?

    so 10 percent of all traders succeed and 90 percent fail. That doesnt sound like a lot. But, there are 300 mil people in the US. How many will try to trade this year? A half of a percent is a very conservative number, so we'll go with it. So thats 1.5 mil in the US will try to trade. If ten...

    My Plan

    Thanks for the advice. I want to be an investor someday and I will be studing finance, math, and science in college, and I will be trading small share lots. I did say something about not being a normal 18 yr old but you sort of took it out of context. I didnt mean I was special, a genius, or...
