    Odd-Lot Short Sales on the rise

    nusrat, I tried my password last night, but was shut out. I was in the past able to view back issues, maybe a years worth? I saw at Barrons.com that there was a preview section. I tried that, but as an old member I was redirected to the call us screen. And today I was spammed for a...

    Odd-Lot Short Sales on the rise

    Chas, I do hope that down channel breaks at some point, or we are going to be in a world of hurt. There is also the possibility of a reverse H&S if the July low holds on the dow. Jus Dun No?? What does concern me it the lower low on the Dow, and it's failure to take out the Aug high. It...

    DUBYA and a pair of binoculars

    I suspect that: Judging by the distance of the binoculars from his eyes The angle of his head And the only piece of sunlight being right under his eye That this photo was doctored. But it is just one more example of why the internet is so useful and entertaining. There was a...

    Immortality?!

    Gordon, Actually, I am glad you did ask. I was making some supper, (read soup), and it got me thinking about a few things. The whole thread really did, even if Kat = FPC, but I'm not so sure. Regards,

    Immortality?!

    GG, I do and I don't. But we, he and I were both very heavy drinkers at various points in our lives. He told me some stories that really helped to put some perspective in my life. Sorry I won't be more frank, but there are some things that just belong where they are in the past.

    Immortality?!

    I would agree, living for the sake of living is pointless. It is what we add to our lives and the lives of others that makes life worthwhile. To give an example, I am 32. One of the people who has had some of the most positive impact in my life is a Vietnam vet I met when I was in college...

    Immortality?!

    Katrina, No I would not want to live without sex. But what makes sex fun is that you take time out to do it every once in a while, and it feels great. If I could just snap my fingers and have any woman I want, well that would be really cool. Then living forever, thanks to Viagra would be...

    Immortality?!

    Stu, No, I was not kidding. I see no point to living forever. I just wasted an hour or so taking a nap since my last post. If I was going to live forever, I would have went back to sleep. As it is, I have things to do. I am going to the grocery store, am going to open every freezer door...

    Immortality?!

    Katrina, Why not live another 100 years? I guess my thought is why live another 100? Largely I have done a lot of the things that I have wanted to do in my life. And, I get to do the things that I enjoy on a frequent basis. This morning, I had a nice walk with a friend in a huge state...

    Immortality?!

    Katrina, Sort of an interesting thought of living forever. Personally, not me, life has been good, but I would not want to go another 100 years. Don't want to float in Heaven either, just want to give my organs, and be cremated or buried in some guys lake, whichever is easier. As for the...

    reasons why certain stocks move

    JSL, Probably the most important thing to learn as a trader or investor is the reason does not matter. THC is a good example. Two weeks ago it was a $50 per share, Friday $14. PE can be a reason, but a cyclical stock like GM would be the most dangerous when the PE was low. Reason Being...

    Odd-Lot Short Sales on the rise

    Nusrat, Sorry I meant to reply earlier and ended up going out and forgot all about you, that is just how I am. I will say that it is pretty comprehensive, but all I am just not sure. What I do remember, and I used to track a lot of this stuff by hand. I was looking for some New High...

    Concurrent long and short same security?

    8hcap, I have been working on this most of the year with some decent results. One thing that I do in this market is use ETFs to get long and short some individual names, plus some ETFs. The theory being, at least currently that if something bad happens either globally or company specific...

    Efficient market theory; Total junk still being taught to people?

    Vlad, as much of I have read your posts on this thread, I don't see that you have really laid out any reasons. You are rehashing the same things in each post. How could it possibly be more efficient. If I took George Soros and Warren Buffet to Kroger and said "quick, which is the best...

    How to become a stock broker

    I would suggest the following: Get an old fashion butter CHURN and some cream. The action will help you in week 2 when you find cold calling sucks. Make a list of all your friends and relatives, then you can be RELATIVELY successful from the start. Go ahead and rape your mom, leave...

    Efficient market theory; Total junk still being taught to people?

    Katarina, Say it isn't so, I feel so used. Aphie = Validatior Oh, I have to go rinse my eyes out. Darkhorse, I am tending to lean on the less efficient side, mainly as you say due to the volatility. Now maybe it is due to the 3 year tail spin that we have been in. Similar to...
