He's a fireball of enthusiasm and he loves the markets, just like I do. so I like the guy. His stock picks suck though.

Hi Gary, I guess my post about position trading wasn't very clear, I trade stocks, not futures. I look for stocks breaking out with heavier than usual volume, (you can use your tc2000 to scan for them, they have a pre-canned scan called 5 day volume surge, or you can write your own pcf), and...

What good is all that fundraising going to do for a candidate who is not going to be elected?

I voted something else. He was a homeless guy running around in the dessert babbling about being the son of god. Which makes him all the more fascinating considering his influence thousands of years later.

In 1997 I paid $30 a month for real time snapshot quotes from a site called Interquote. I got 300 snapshots a day, and I rarely ran out, since I wasn't really daytrading anyway. As you would guess, Interquote was eventually taken over as brokers started giving away free real time on the...

I was still phoning my broker as late as 1996 to place trades. I think my last phone order was in January 97. I opened up an account at Scottsdale Securities in May of 1996 and I still have the brochure to this day. It compares it's commissions to that of other brokers. For 100 shares of...

Wow, now that I look at it, I have notes on EMKR going all the way back to June of 05 when it was making new 52 week highs.

BTW, I noticed EMKR back in July when it was rising on higher than usual volume. I never did buy it though. Missed a good one.

stoney, you never answered my thread about ZIXI? I see you bought some a long time ago and I'm wondering if you held all that time. It has really been jumping lately.

I'll bet 90,000 of them were about Jack Hershey.

Charged with murder? I was thinking more along the lines of buying him a steak dinner and asking him to move next door to me.

MIT back tested a proxy for a typical hedge fund strategy used by quants. It involved buying buying the previous day's losing stocks and selling the winners. In 1995 the strategy delivered a 1.38% daily return before costs, by last year it was down to 0.15% a day. (from an Economist.com...

I have never paid any attention to Hershey other than one post where he claimed that he lounges at Camp David and autographs his books. That was some months back and I'm sure the thread was deleted. Anybody who would make the claims that he makes is probably a bit nuts. I'm not talking about...

The first clue that somebody is a bullshitter is when the tell you "X% FAIL IN TRADING". How do you determine when somebody has failed? After about 8 months of my first venture into trading, I blew my account out from trading losses. So does that put me in that X% of failures? Well 11 months...

Are you still in this? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1440137&highlight=zixi#post1440137 I bought it November 19 @ 3.65 and I'm stunned by what it's doing. I don't see any real news on it, just some rumors about favorable legislation in DC.

I started out as a broker in a couple of penny stock boiler rooms back in the early 90's. I also worked a few years in telephone sales in other fields. Trading and sales are similiar in that many are called but few are chosen. After that, they are polar opposites. You can be blunt, abrupt and...

If I remember correctly it means buy the breakout above the NR7 bar, or sell the break below it. I researched it a few years back and found that many NR7's are followed by an NR8. And that most NR7's occur in a holiday week when trading is light. I also noted that you are quickly stopped out and...

Cramer was touting SHLD last year on his radio show. I even remember one specific caller thanking Cramer for getting him into it. The stock was still going up at the time, and I have no idea if Cramer is still into it or not - his radio show was canceled out here on the West Coast.
