    The Pitbull Investor uses a long method based on CANSLIM that uses IBD's stock ratings. He also sells a method of shorting. He says that just reversing his long method would not yield very good results, so I imagine that just reversing CANSLIM would not work very well either. Pitbull shorts...

    Yes. If you read IBD's Big Picture commentary, its basically about advising the longs when they should enter the market. In that regard it is sometimes dangerous to listen to because its always cheerleading for the next bull phase. It can lead you into a bull trap if you are not careful. In...

    Innerworth.com

    I've visited the Innerworth site, and now get the email newsletter regularly. I like the many quotations each one has (in fact I save the newsletters just for that. ) But I have to tell you that the cartoons need to have their quality raised. To me they are positively annoying and off putting...

    If you are reading books then you already know that Marty Schwartz would say you are doing the right thing. He became one of Schwager's Market Wizards with his own money. And that tempted him to move "up" into the Druckemiller level. While he was in the hospital hovering between life and...

    What is the average age of a trader?

    45 years old. Learning to trade with a severance package from a previous job. Last job I had I was commuting for three hours every day for two years. In the second year of that they cut out my expense reimbursement because they knew the jobs had dried up. :mad: I would say I'm really...

    Quiet, is that trading your own money or Other Peoples? If your own, how many figures did you start with?

    After Schwager had interviewed the market wizards (who were all using various different methods of analysing the markets), he came to the conclusion that the specific method of analysis mattered less than the amount of time and experience the trader put into it. I.e., a method might have a...

    What kind of Training did everyone do when they Started Day Trading

    The Photoreading Whole Mind System by Paul R. Scheele http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/102-7292242-6406568 Cheaper than the $200 course. I find that the effectiveness depends on the complexity of the material. Simpler material is easier. Prose is easier that math...

    What kind of Training did everyone do when they Started Day Trading

    I have gone through a number of books looking for good rules for shorting, but I still don't think I have enough good ones to keep me out of a squeeze. What rules do you use (if you don't mind my asking)? I think this is very important for newbies because a squeeze can potentially wipe not...

    Chart pattern percentages

    Thanks for the link, Chas. And amen to you Babak. I remember looking at an S&P500 chart and thinking "Hmmm, that looks like a small double top," and then IBD the next day was calling it part of a larger cup-with-a-handle. And I realized that chart patterns are like finding animals and other...

    do you like interactive brokers?

    I heard their customer service leaves something to be desired. Does this extend to problems with tax reporting? Do they simplify or complicate your tax preparation?

    Now We Really Bottomed !!!!!

    This Sunday I was at my nephew's violin recital and I noticed that one of the peices was entitled "Bears at Rest". http://www.voxau.com/fib/fibro/fun/relaxin1.jpg Seems to me like they will rest a bit, and then come out clawing again. :)

    Superstition, Luck and Vodoo

    Actually I don’t believe that worm poop is our final destiny. Some years ago I was employed by an insurance company and made a good friend there. This gentleman was around 58 when he became part of a four person team I was on supporting a batch claims processing system ( I was about 40...

    Reminds me of a newly promoted boss I once worked for.
