Institutional investors, as a rule, don't bother with "cheapie" stocks. The lack of correlation to the primary benchmarks is indicative of apathy. If a cheapie stock bears no correlation to a small-cap index, then nobody really, really gives a hoot.

It must be Sears? I bought a lawn tractor recently from there. Is there still uncertainty about what all of the real estate holdings are worth?

If you're good at "forecasting", being first in the queue can be valuable. It's only a problem when the market spikes through your "supportive" orders when you're initiating new positions and doesn't retrace at all. If you're indeed a scalper, you ought to be hitting bids, taking offers &...

But seriously..........focus more on executing your system and don't be concerned with the "arbitrary" 26-day profit streak. It WILL come to an end but your profitability doesn't have to.

Confirmation of the Obvious....................Adding-on to winners is a good way to create bigger profits. Adding-on to losers WILL eventually destroy you in one fell swoop. Regarding multiple consecutive losses, you should continue trading if indeed you have a good "edge" in the market. Who's...

Take a look at the "Market Profile" books. It's a decent "tool" that can be applied on an intraday basis.

You'll be trading French Francs by day and flipping french fries at night and on weekends. You need more personal savings in order to prevent yourself from doing anything reckless if you find yourself having difficulty making money. "Giving it a few months" is not a good attitude to have.

Look for stuff authored by Richard Wyckoff or Mark Leibovit. They are the "Volume Meisters" in addition to Shaleen.

Can you handle the truth?.........The CAD/Canadian Dollar System took 5 years, from 1977-1982, to finally get "in the black" and stay there. That indicates inconsistency. Most customers in today's "2005 environment" won't be patient enough to wait that long for results. In 1983, 1996, 1999 &...

Crude oil, at its current level, will always be more volatile than the meats. As a rookie, try to stick with electronically-traded markets. Open outcry markets are operationally frustrating. That said, consider trading the (CBOT) 5-year note and be aware of when the major reports are released.

You've got to sell Mortimer! Sell! Sell! Sell!-----Historically, foreign(Chinese) investors are notorious for buying our domestic(USA) industries at long-term tops. It makes more sense to buy oil-related assets when crude is ~$20/barrel instead of ~$60. Let those slant-eyed fools buy all they...

The high speed trains won't be built because congressman will attempt to have too many station stops along the right-of-way in their own districts which will slow the trains down too much, similar to what Amtrak is already. You can't have a stop every 20 miles between Chicago & St Louis and...

(1) Go to the CBOT website and look for the "MIDIS" feature. You should be able to go back to 1848 for corn & wheat. (2) Contact Jake Bernstein at MBH Commodity Advisors. He might sell you the data if the CBOT can't help.

(1) You'll tend to sleep better if you start the day "flat" and you'll be able to respond more objectively to how the market opens with a "clear head". (2) If you want to initiate positions on-the-close, focus on the contracts that don't have overnight electronic trading, i.e. meats, softs &...

OK, try this logic out------Increasing energy prices are indicative of a healthy economy because users can afford to pay progressively higher energy prices while their earnings are increasing faster than the oil price which then means they can buy bonds with their surplus and further drive down...

I thought he put his North Shore house up for sale last year. I'm not completely sure of his address but it hasn't sold yet.

Look for a guy named Clarence Beeks. He receives the report the day before it's released.

For what it might be worth............there's lots of foreign money flowing into Germany. That buying pressure will continue to lift the DAX, regardless of the "fundamentals". The percentage of German stocks owned by foreigners has surpassed 50%. Historically, when outsiders buy into a market...

On a clear day, you could probably see Cuba from the roof of such a building. This is a great, great sell signal! Super tall buildings always get proposed at market tops, i.e. Empire State, Sears Tower, Petronas & Taipei-101. As a previous poster said, insuring the buildings could be a big...
