Maybe you can tell me how you post the PDF files? XLY is the dow transportation average. Also a lot of Truckers are showing up in my daily scans. And I agree, the transports are not much of a use for day trading, nor are fundamentals. Just my predictions based on the longer term view...

Came across the chart of GE in 1929, it drops from $400 in 1929 to $20 in 1932, looks like the chart of YH:eek: :eek: !! Funny how the more things change the more they say the same. My predictions since I can always change my screenname if Im wrong. The September lows will hold for all...

I have found that since Todd Harrison left RM that I read it less and less. I did email Cramer and tell him that I thought as AAA said that one membership for ALL products would be good. He agreed, but there is no way in hell I am paying $2000 for the PRO. When I joined you got all these guys...

This is probably not exactly what you are looking for, but the island book viewer on Datek provides a Last Match at the top of the book. They also give you a few cool things like #of orders placed in the last X minutes, etc. I think Streamer is still free.

Hard to say how many in total. Last year when I met my girlfriend she took me to a seminar by a guy named Gary Williams. It was basically rehashed Wade Cook stuff, yet there must have been 200 people in the room, I think the cost was $400 per couple. All I know is after I lose my first...

First off I goofed on the DIA, the breakdown took place 1/14/02 of the low set on 1/2/02. What I think is that on a trade like RYL you have to trade in a way that you feel comfortable and a way that makes you money. For instance, I would argue that if you had bought each time RYL hit its 150...

Hapa, you are on to something, but shorty is right, absent of a trending market, this may cause more frustration than it is worth. In his book Winner Take All, William Gallacher has a similar system called "Plodder". Basically you looked at a ten day chart and if the price broke the 10 day...

I was wrong on the schedule D, does look like Desert was right and line 14 on 1040 would be correct. As for the 3115, here is the quote from the page IRS LINK: After making the election to change to the mark-to-market method of accounting, you must change your method of accounting for...

Desert, I said use 4797 to list your gains and losses, but if you did not roll it to schedule d, then where to you put the gain or loss?

The Tax Guide refers to mark to market for day traders or active traders under section 475. Also the tax guide is for year 2002. I usually get one each year, they are about $14 E&Y also sells one and Arthur Andersen is selling a Tax Guide/Paper Shredder combo this year from what I hear. If...

Faction and JJ. I would also look at Silicon Investor. They have great screening and charting software that you can use for free. You can store both portfolios and screens. They also have a pay product which is about $30 bucks a month. The pay product was not what I was looking for, but...

Swish, This is speculation on my part from Section 475 pages 508-509 in JK Lassers Tax Guide. You can report gains and losses on 4797 as a single line and roll it to Schedule D. However, if you are audited you will need supporting documentation of the transactions. additionally, if you...

For what it is worth, Silicon Investor has some great, free, stock screening, charting, and portfolio watch list services.

Reply to this quote: "Check out this link to Larry Williams. you gotta give him some credit for at least addressing a lot of this." Other than saying that this is the same crap that Wade Cook, Ken Roberts, Carleton Sheets, Don Lapree spew about why they sell the "secrets" to their success...

Not really, I get the morning report about 9:20am and an evening report by about 5. Personally I don't do much with it other than a quick read of upgrades and downgrades. Two recent examples, ARBA was upgraded yesterday, the move had taken place by about 8:30. Depending on your strategy you...

JJ, not sure if you are still looking at playing broker upgrades or downgrades. If so, I get two daily reports from Goldman Sachs via Charles Schwab. The reports list upgrades, downgrades, earnings revisions, etc. I assume they send them since I am a client, but you may want to check the site...

Don I thought your post was a good one. I mean whose to say that someone got the brochure, sent the money and blew their life savings on some BS system could not have been saved by reading a post or two. I just got some crap from Larry Williams, didn't he win a trading contest while...

Ed, for what it is worth, as you go through life you want to have options. For most people this will come through school and a good education. If you hate school, and at 14 I sure did, find a part time job and learn a skill. Learn to manage your money, one book I would highly recommend is...

Arky, One thing that I looked at over the past year is how much I paid in commissions. When I reviewed my trades over the past year, commissions were a big chunk. In the case of daytrades (which is not many) often my losses were caused by commissions (along with some stupid trades):eek...

JJ I tried the link directly from a Yahoo search and could not get it to come up. Not sure if this is another site that went bye-bye. I did a few searches under "analyst rankings/ratings" and you do get a lot of hits, but most are pay sites. Sorry I could not be of more help. One parting...
