Good call!:)

Interesting. If I had taken this advice, I would have had an opportunity to buy my pick of the day (Aria) at .86 and rode it to the close of .98. Nonetheless, even if I had purchased ARIA at .91, the opportunity still existed to sell within my target range of 5%. Used a trailing stop for...

Trading Thoughts for 1/5/09: Aria Pharmaceuticals if it opens at or above Friday's .91 Close.

Interesting perspective. Since this one was a little iffy for me, I think I'll sit tight to see how it develops. Thanks.

Thanks. I appreciate the insight.

Alcoa (NYSE: AA). If this breaks through the 12.45 upper resistance, there should see a pretty good run on this one throughout next week.

As I began typing this reply, I had to backspace.:eek: I was going to say that I wanted to trade like most others on this forum. Even being relatively new to trading, I recoginize that would be my first mistake. Thanks for the response!

Okay...after reading a few posts on ET, it has occurred to me that "Penny Stocks" are frowed upon on ET. Didn't realize that. I'll keep looking for something that's a little more "respectable".

Bought (3) CME @ 191.85 on 12/30 and Sold (3) CME on 12/31 @ 207.7706. Bought (31) GE @ 15.68 on 12/30 and Sold (31) on 12/31 GE @ 16.24. For these, I simply looked at the price versus the 10 and 50 day moving average. It worked, but I'm not sure that I will use this strategy again...

-$1060 for '08 :( Fortunately I have another source of income to fund my stock trading "education" :) But in all seriousness, I really appreciate everyone's posts (good and bad). Thanks! Oh, and Happy New Year to all!:)

+45.36 for the day :D

Spent another day setting up various screeners and watching the market. I'm not sure what other trading platforms offer as far as analysis, but I am pretty happy with TD Ameritrade's platform. The surprising thing is that there are over 300 stocks that closed up at least 2% according to one...

Just reading my opening thread. I really hate it when people forget to correct grammar.... "Hello and welcome for visiting my Journal." :confused: How about.."Hello and thank you for visiting my Journal.":D

Taking Advantage of my time off during the holidays and learning how to set up custom screeners and using backtesting using TD Ameritrade. Not quite sure yet about the backtesting but I finally had an "ahaa" moment when I dug into the stock screener capabilities. Trades that caught my...

Reading Erik Kolodny's post "Day Trading Thoughts For Tues. Dec. 22" I did a little research and bought into CMLS. Not much action yesterday on this stock, but this morning I watched it go as high as 35% above my buy in. This wasn't so much a lesson as much as it was a reminder. I sold...

My thoughts exactly. Not that I am looking for tips...but to have a "short list" of stocks to consider would be a tremendous help!

Excellent information. Thanks for the insight!

Hello and welcome for visiting my Journal. I am interested in making some discretionary income with my limited funds (1K) that I currently hold in my TD Ameritrade account via swing trades. The theme of this journal is going to be for me to learn from my mistakes and try not to repeat them...

I'm a GM fan with a first generation Camaro that I personally restored over a 5 year period. I nearly grin ear to ear every chance that I get to drive it. No doubt that the new Camaro is a truly awesome car, but I am really starting to second guess GM's future.
