    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    1/14/09: Will have early bias to the the long side in the a.m., then we'll see how the day plays out. Nothing on the indexes looks very strong right now, just playing for a 1-2 day bounce on the markets is all since we are a few days down into a prior support area. Long watch FLIR MON SNDK

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    1/13/09: Nothing looks very strong, but going to be hard to short. Will strictly scalp/daytrade today & only look for the purest of set-ups on my 5 min charts ( scottrade only allows you 5 charts open at a time so my visability is low, plus trading w/ only 1 17" monitor). Will keep an eye on...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    No magic formula. I basically have 4 patterns I look for and try to do those over and over again. I posted the times I took each trade (all trades have been on the 5 min charts) and you can look at them. If you have a question on why I entered the trade I'll give you my thought process on each one.

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    Once I get into my "target area" of a 2/1 risk reward I 1st check to see how the indexes are acting compared to the stock. ex: If the stock is right in target range and the indexes are nearing resistance and starting to turn against me I will put on a "mental" trail stop on the position I am in...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    1/08/09: Looks like we are going to get some pullback in the indexes, but are still in a short term uptrend. If we hold in the AM I will look to some stocks w/ bullish daily charts to possibly buy: GILD GRMN JRCC. Otherwise I will look to the gap list for any opening plays and then look for...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    1/07/09 Looking to short the indexes VERY early unless they gap too far down, if so willl look for a small rally to short. Also looking at a few stocks (RIMM SNDK) to scalp short. If we get a rally for the 1st 20-30 minutes I will look to get into a short around 10am on the first reversals...

    I think you are 100% correct that he did not want to hear anymore that it"s possible to consistently take money out of the market- So he said, in so many words..." Put up or shut up"

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    1/06/09 : Only a few short set ups on daily charts, none very promising. The best short set up on daily charts is DELL. I will be looking to intraday trade again on TUES. Focusing once again on the 5 min charts. Alot of daily charts look bullish if we can get a minor pullback on them in the...

    Mon 1/05: No daily chart pattern set-ups that I use, so today I will be looking for intraday trades only. My "universe" consists of the nasdaq 100, plus high vol. nasdaq stocks and index's (SPY DIA QQQQ , QID mostly). I will be looking for stocks that move against the market in the 1st 30...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    The 70 k was what was owed to me from other deals we had. The water bet was I had to be fully submerged, no distance requirements. That was actually a bet we both entered at a bar one year on a lake with the other "Polar Bear" members on the lake. The fist person to fully submerge in the lake...
