No, I'd say it's more like his actions belie his words. I didn't make any determination in the post about his being right or wrong. My observations of his actions/words led to a question with two probable answers, assuming we all live on the same planet, that appear to be in conflict. From that...

You can only state your position, but you can't possibly disagree that it's spurious for him to claim, without any basis, that 678 people are not only all in agreement, but that they are all in agreement on one specific point. Well, you can, but without any basis to your argument as well :) And...

There you go again, making this spurious conclusion. 1. The 678 is a total tally of number of subscriptions. Not all of the members are active at this time. 2. You do not have a statement from all 678 members wherein they state agreement that they think your boasting is "fun also"...

This latest virus has a zip file as an attachment. You may recall if you've unzipped an email attachment recently or not. The best protection of course is never to open an attachment if you don't recognize the sender. But then again, sometimes the infected computer is a friend's. So it pays to...

I once found a whole thread on ET devoted to that very topic.

So the answer to my question then is that your capital is divided up per investment "stream", rolling over and compounding the capital from trade to trade as profit targets are met and trades exited, but if the stream is currently in a position where the target has not been met, and a new...

"Sometimes, not often, these stocks don't make it to 15% and languish. That's ok too...what has happened is that these stocks have metamorphosized into 'value' stocks" is like a trader who, because his stop was blown and is now holding a losing position, decides to increase his timeframe and...

No, that's not quite it. My dad was in real estate, and the idea with fixer-uppers was to buy the cosmetically beatup house in the desirable neighborhood, not gamble on a wreck in a undesirable neighborhood on the chance it would work out. You wouldn't want to put a ton of money in a wreck, and...

So then, you have now about 10 or so positions being held but not profitable. Assuming 14 total positions, your other 4 positions are profitable but haven't attained 15% so as to meet their target. Now you come up with a new opportunity, and so you pass on it, is what you're saying, because to...

I disagree. He's been posting since 10/02 and has over 600 posts to his name, and through it all, he's had many others put him to the test. His response tactic in return is to avoid, spin, insult and brag. If you agree with him, he pays you a compliment. And for all the mentions he makes of his...

Someone call trend_fader and tell him here's evidence of a market top. ispurlock, try moneycentral.com's stock screener for selections. You can set the criteria for price, volume and beta.

Then you got your answer. It depends not as much on the ratio of wins to losses but also the amount of profit vs loss, to which I might add, time spent in the trade is money too as it costs you for lost opportunities to compound quicker. So your results seem OK to some in the buy and hold...

Is that eventsherpa.com calendar in response to the part of KiasuTrader's question that states, "when it isn't really telling you anything"?.

Some use a smoothed average of the Advance/Decline. Some also look at the A/D volume for more of a story. Some compare the A/D action to an index, such as the DOW, and look for divergences.

Here's a post I'd like to see because it would be refreshing (what follows is satire): Today I'm still holding PTSI at 17.33. That's a 30.23% loss from my purchase price of 24.84 on April 15, 2002. All of this was achieved from holding the stock for just under two years. Over the same period...

Why bother asking when you don't really care what the answer, that others routinely are making 15% or better within a few days, is? And IPAR makes your 10th consecutive loss of 13.7% (average loss).

Must... resist... but.... can't.... So, what do you do with your other hand?

As to my ET based indicators, I'm jesting. (unless they're right).

According to my proprietary ET based indicators, this very poll acts as a contrarian indicator, so it points to a higher move. Also, mrmarket posting here again points to us still being in an uptrending market. See...

I didn't mean 'entry points' as the next thing to ascertain. What I meant was that after selecting from high EPS/RS rankings for long candidates, you'd want to further narrow down the selections of those from positive sectors (as you mentioned), then I'd suggest you also then pull up charts and...
