I think O'Neill only holds about 6 or 8 stocks at a time. Learn his methods and then "tweak" them to suit your own personal style and financial capacity. He cuts losers and increases winners. Most do the opposite Pick out the real thoroughbreds and stick with them for the ride. I...

And to pound the table, preach and pontificate while the cameras are rolling. Makes them feel like they are actually doing something. Steve D

The basic reason more houses sell in the first six months is very simple: Families want to get settled in for school in Sept. You can do charts till you are blue in the face but that is the over riding concern of families with school children. Taking "stock market" logic and applying it...

If creditors can establish the money used to purchase the annuity was fraudulently obtained, he may have to give it back. If you think Bush is going to pardon Ken Lay, you really don't know Bush. Ken Lay called the White House when the trouble started and they wouldn't even take his phone...

The "Club Feds" are mostly closed. I had a friend out at Lompoc where there was no fence, only a lime line (football field type) that told you where not to cross, LOL. No one did. These are not stupid people. He said he was in the best shape since high school. Lay and Skilling will do...

In '87 you had selling begat selling begat selling. Now there are "curbs" in place that will stop program selling once markets drop a certain per centage for the day. Lots of different rules in place that were not there in "87. Much more controlled environment. More experienced traders...

It is my understanding that "retail" trades are a single digit per centage of the trading activity of the markets. I really don't understand how a MM/trader that has an order to buy 500,000 shares of MSFT really has the time or inclination to waste with a guy from Elite Trader who has 300...

Upgrades are issued on Mon-Wed-Fri Downgrades are issued Tues and Thurs Companies from A-L are before the market opens Companies from M-Z are after the market closes This should help some SteveD

Christians have progressed in 2000 years. Muslims have not. Just look at the US versus the "cradle of civilization" any where in the Middle East. If it wasn't for oil they would still be eating camel dung sandwiches. The Islam religion is headed for the trash heap of history. Just like...

In the next 5 years you will see the deportation of ALL Muslims from Western Europe and then from the US. Let's get something out in the open..... ISLAM IS A SICK DEMENTED RELIGION WITH SUB-HUMAN PRE-HISTORIC FOLLOWERS. We are now at the beginning of the end of Islam. It will be wiped...

But Buffet has well known holdings/investments: Coca Cola, US Airways, Solomon Bros etc etc. He has bought private companies Dairy Queen, Star Furniture etc etc. He is famously short the US Dollar. I have never seen/heard Jim Rogers on any specific trade/investment that he has made. 1...

I think he is mostly "Big hat, no cattle" talk. Looks spiffy in his bow tie and shows up on the talk shows. But I have never heard a single actual trade reported!! He makes very broad sweeping predictions like " I think it will rain somewhere in the US today". Duh He got fired from...

Let me see if I have got this straight: SAC, a large, smart hedge fund, decides to "short" BVL and OSTK. It hires an analyst to write a "very negative" report on the companies. The delusional CEO of BVL says that the report is kept secret till the hedge fund can complete it's investment in...

Ask your broker for some shares. Do some research after a company files for an IPO and request shares "when issued". Simple as that. Good luck. SteveD

I thought "wash sale" only applied over two tax years. If you sell a stock that has a loss on Dec 26 and buy it back on Jan 2 is a violation of the 'wash sale" rule. The IRS reasoning would be you have taken the loss only for tax purpose as you had some gains you wanted to off-set or...

the guy is cooking the books big time. Why do you think "DAD" jumped ship??? This guy started a company based off of his father's reputation. It is a bad business model. Very difficult to actually make any real profit. Sell at a lost but make it up in volume??? That is why the...

This reminds me of Jeff Skilling calling an analysis an "asshole" for asking questions regarding Enron's profits. Of course, Skilling is now pre-occupied trying to stay out of the Federal pen for stock fraud. Don't be surprised if Overstock is a giant fraud, phantom sales, phantom inventory...

I have always assumed that "flytiger, ratboy" and Byrne are all the same person. Funny thread. Reminds one of the old Bre-X gold mine scam, LOL SteveD

A more interesting question: Has anyone taken $50,000 and turned it into $1,000,000 since Jan 1, 2000??? Any type of trading is acceptable. PS. People that trade Forex are the same people that buy lottery tickets. Money in Forex is selling the programs, systems etc etc. SteveD

In the 30's Churchill warned repeatedly about Adolph. He needed to be eliminated!!! He was called a "war monger" and a "nut". And, of course, that lack of action cost 50,000,000 deaths in WWII Liberals have a long trail of failures. Even the USSR gave it up but yet the good ole American...
