great stuff everyone I really appreciate the education. I have decided to continue holding for the long term as originally planned. Having $20k wrapped up isn't a big deal and even if it were to all disappear it wouldn't change the way I live, I am not wealthy my any means but am debt free with...

Thanks for the comments thus far everyone. I planned on this being a long hold at purchase time and admit that because of my commitment and belief in the company I did not set a stop loss or even have an idea in my head of a % drop that I would exit. In my mind I planned on selling as soon as it...

Took a long position last November in a company I believed in (and still do). It is an oil and gas company named Cimarex Energy (XEC) and I have worked with them off and on since 2010. I bought 220 shares @ $90.58 for a total investment of $19,928 and it has basically steady dropped since my...

I thought traders were supposed to do pills and snort lines out of strippers butt cracks each night, not weed.

endurance athletes have better hearts (ET = endurance trained, ST = strength trained): "In conclusion, ET athletes had a better diastolic function compared with ST athletes. In ET athletes population there was a better diastolic function at rest and low LVT, UTW and AVCS values associated with...

I know each trade is different but curious how far away you typically set your stop loss in % lost?

that is correct. The only problem is that you are trading out of an IRA account and have to pay a 10% early withdrawal penalty if you touch it before 59 1/2 YO. IMO it would be best used as an "investment" account rather than "trading" but I think one's age is a major factor in that decision.

Agreed, Nothing worse than fake natties. Steroids do provide a major advantage to muscle growth and general body composition improvement...especially when used by people who knew what they were doing. And I agree that it is no small feat for the average person to max out their genetic...

A lot of bodybuilders and fitness models are involved in "G4P" or gay for pay where they do sexual favors for men in exchange for money or other things. It is widely known in the bodybuilding community but not accepted as normal or good. As far as steroids go I agree with the above that you...

you are for sure a down low brother.

I wanted to give an update to Interactive Brokers idle cash interest policy after speaking with a representative... - They pay 1.68% on idle cash in your account. - They pay that interest ONLY IF your account (including equities) has a value over $100,000. - They do not pay interest on the...

I understand what you are saying. I have been doing some research and I think a CRUT really only becomes "a tax haven" if someone is about to experience some serious capital gains tax. Also I didn't realize the distributions to the beneficiaries was considered taxable income.

Not sure which forum to put this at... My father in law has a CRUT that he is wanting to set up with a brokerage account. After talking to him about it for a while I was thinking "why the hell don't I have one of these". No capital gains tax and you are able to write off contributions. I...

I just ended up putting my cash into my IB account. 1.4% idle interest and it is ready to go when I see an opportunity in the market. Thanks for all of the input everyone and by all means keep it going with suggestions.

Im currently taking a long position in AR lowers and .22lr bullets. Not that I would ever buy either with the sole intention of selling for profit. Only to "improve my person collection".

I appreciate all of that but man I believe that as a bit more than I am willing to do for now. Im sure others will find that helpful though.
