Ah, yes, you're right, you said to 1) Not lose any money 2) Don't forget rule #1 Wow people. Please someone stand up and give Nononsense a standing ovation + medal of honor for his 'help' on this thread. Now if you have something real to contribute to the discussion, please do it...

I find your reasoning to be quite nonsensical, nononsense. He is not selling you a method, he is sharing a mathematical approach to risk. He doesn't seem to be claiming it is the be all and end all to money management, so lay off a bit will you? There is enough absolutely useless banter on this...

That sounds like a very logical and interesting approach. If I could sum it up as follows: 1) Winners don't become losers overnight 2) Once IBD generated interest dies off and previous winners are left for dead, their stocks can make a comeback. I find that very intuitive, especially if you...

Humpty Bumpty fell on a thread Humpty Bumpty now left for dead All who care about losses and risk Have nay to say about what's already been said Boo hooo hooo hoooo :(

I think that you've done well with your averaging in and that $24 is in the cards, with a 50% chance of $20-21 in near term, but a 70% chance of $24 by end of Q1 06'. Re the irrational movement, absolutely right on that, witness CRM for example. Are there any themes/sectors of interest...

Good for you. SNDK has over 300 patents protecting its MLC technology. Does OVTI have similar protection around its sensors? It doesnt seem like it to me, but I'm not sure. What I'm getting at is that to expect OVTI to react similarly vs SNDK on pure chart comparisons alone does not seem all...

Cnms, I've read this thread and the rest of ET on the topic, and I don't think that the issue of trading FREQUENCY has ever been addressed. Sure enough, people have talked about keeping the max number of positions opened to not exceed 5-6% or whatever arbitrary level, and that's helpful I'm...

Things seem to be turning regarding their yield problems, which explains why they grew margins q/q despite declining prices q/q for their sensors. The cam phone market is hot for at least another quarter so some momentum there, but let me ask you, would you invest in a company seeing declines in...

I hear you. I can agree to disagree with your conclusion, but hey, that's what makes a market. Thanks for not taking my comments personally, they were not intended as such. I also disagree on the odds comment, a strategy with real live backtested and stress tested trades can offer some...

Re your first comment, it's a hypothetical and hence not verifiable and worthless. Second, I am not insulting Mike, just pointing out that that was a poor trade. Again, the Vonage quote is that people do stupid things. Note that I did not call Mike stupid. I don't know if Mike is stupid, and...

The point is that shorting GOOG where you shorted it was a terrible odds trade because you are fading one of the strongest stocks in the world right now, although tempting risk reward if you have $370 as your price target. I don't care whether you are a trend fader or not, that is irrelevant to...

Good thing that there's a steady supply of trend faders such as yourself to keep the hot trends alive, fwiw, next time you feel like imposing your opinion on one of the planet's hottest trends, just close your eyes, shout "NONONONONONONONO No!" 10 times and remember that opinions are like...

Grob, Are you trying to say that you like to buy stocks within the IBD100 universe using your method? Good for you, that should help. However, you are wrong in your belief that TA is most efficient when applied to those stocks only. One can trade extremely effectively, or as efficiently...

Once again, he states the mantra, refuses to address the thinking/logic. My advice to you, surfer, is to study Darkhorses comments word by word on this thread, he's really schooled you. The least you could do is learn from what he has to say.

I second that. Thank you Darkhorse for giving me hope that clear, honest and compelling critical thinking still lives...

Hi guys, Since we're on the topic, felt should ask. I'm a bloomberg user for my NQ trading, and like the ability to 'zoom' in and out for charts using the zoom function. Ensign doesn't have this feature, although it does have about 6-8 arrows that let you adjust the chart to your liking...

Surfer, Ok, since you are well versed in mathematics, do you really believe that you can uncover a pattern to market behavior using correlation analysis? You have referred to this over and over again in threads, and clearly it seems to be a key part of your beliefs... Do you really...

Dell workstation bought recently, P4, 1GB RAM, 3.2Ghz, HThreading, was supposed to be a monster, but on my current cable connection, I'm quite disappointed. The BSOD is probably unrelated to Ensign judging by the responses I see here, will take a closer look at what caused it tonight. Many...
