A lot of investment firms have claimed to be changing their ratings from sell to hold or buy. So yeah, it probably is going to bust. :mad:

I hadn't heard of this organization previously, but I did some research and their mission truly is deserving of praise...

Thanks for the reply Spydertrader. I have pretty much already decided what I'm going to do, I just wanted to hear some of the experiences that others on ET have had. Another question for you though, anything significant that you feel should be mentioned in regards to coming back from an...

Professional trading and professional investing aren't very similar, and not just because of the length of time securities are held, and the basis of reasoning for entering or exiting positions (fundamental vs. technical/news related fluctuations) Typically large account sizes like Buffet's...

Thank you Grob. I closed all of my mid & long-term investments in early May. I'm still short a few ETFs mid-term... I'll still have some market exposure, but if I do take a leave of absence it'll be limited. I just think I'd get drawn back into trading full-throttle at the first sign of any...

I'd only want the multi-millionaires here on ET, so about half of ET! :D

I guess that's another good question to ask... How many of you have been totally burned out before taking break? Any luck?

I'm not sure it'll be that kind of vacation. Maybe a week in Mexico, and a week somewhere overseas. I'd like to go to Australia, like on safari. That'd be fun. I just have so much stuff I'm dealing with right now, that I can't keep spending 18 hours a day completely focused on a dozen...

I made over $25,000 in the month of May. $13,000 came in two trading days. That's not a daily average, just a good couple of days shorting. I gave some back, but I finished the month up just a bit under $29,000 Gross (after fees). Close to 9%. At the end of two quarters, I'm up over 30% not...

I have no doubt I'll be a Multi-thousandaire by the time I'm 40. :D

I've been seriously considering taking the summer off from trading. Skipping over the details, I just have WAY too much going on. I'm curious as to how many traders have ever taken the summer off, and what your experience was when you came back. I'm not talking about years, only a couple of...

I got it. George Costanza is a funny little man.

Again, well said volente. I know it looks like I'm spamming, but I can't believe I forgot this one... www.livestrong.org A close member of my family lost his battle with cancer last year. I've worn a LIVESTRONG wrist band every day since. I'm kicking myself for not posting that one first...

Well said Mr. Acura. Boys and Girls Clubs of America is always a good route.

That was hilarious. Real "grown up" humor too. Is this about right Johnny Walker? Needs more punch doesn't it?

I gave about 5% of my yearly net when I was broke. I give about 2-3% now, but it's way more than I gave ten years ago. Rationalizing, I know, it's the first step to pure greed...

I was talking about this... But I do like that Italian one...

Humor is not without satire. Or is it the other way around?... I give to several Wild Life foundations, Special Olympics, Jerry's Kids, the Breast Cancer foundation, and I volunteer at a church serving Thanksgiving lunch and dinner. I also volunteer part of my time helping those in need...

Actually I used to have an account on ET back in 2001. I only made a few posts, and every time I did people went nuts. "This is no time to start trading! Have you seen the Markets? You're gonna lose and have your ass handed to you!" etc. Everyone was complaining about the burst, and feeling...
