i had a list of stocks i wanted to buy before this tragedy occurred just because they're oversold--and so is the market on a short term basis IMO. if there is a sell off when the markets open, we'll be even more oversold and i will get my list of stocks at even cheaper prices.

Obviously today was a terrible day, however, let people discuss whatever they want. I saw a few posts suggesting not to discuss this.

Hello everyone, I came across a stock with a great chart since the beginning of the year. The symbol is MOVI. I've been trying to figure out what exactly happened to make the stock take off either fundamentally or technically. The move started around 1/5/01. The following news also came out...

I also just want to say that I don't believe rtharp is hyping. I've read many of his posts and I've read his father's great book. Later, David

praetorian2, if you don't mind me asking, what day did you go long ELY? Just curious.. The daily chart is interesting. Thanks

Well said ArchAngel, I'm 23 and I just paid $30,000 in federal taxes, plus $6,000 for state. And someone says I should be happy for that? I agree we should all pay our share of taxes, but we are highly overtaxed right now. Most people don't pay attention to politics to understand what's...

Hi, Does anyone stick to this saying? Is is smart to? I'm generally a swing trader and my exits are typically between -4% to +12%. I do use trailing stops, but say at the end of the day I have a gain of 1% in a stock. Is it really smart to move the stop loss to break even? Or should I still...

"it's weird but i've noticed many traders make their breakthrough at the very time they contemplate giving up." I could not agree with that more. I haven't been at the point of giving up (I will never give up), but a few times in the past I have been discouraged. However, it was at those...

Hey everyone.. I read an interesting article on the Internet the other day but I forget where. Anyway, the article was about how in order to consistently lose money trading stocks, you must be doing something right. However, what you're doing right is losing money. Because if you think about...

Hello everyone (this board is great), Once you enter a trade, is it somehow possible to place 2 orders to exit and whichever doesn't happen first gets canceled? I ask because I use Datek and I can only place an order to exit a position in one direction. For example, if I wanted to either make...

Hello, Can someone tell me if I am eligible for an SEP-IRA if all my income comes from trading stocks? Does that classify me as self-employed? If not, how can I set up an IRA if I have no other job? Thank you
