    How Do Yall Maintain your Discipline??

    Trying to make 3 points a day is a problem in itself. You have to take what the market offers - you can't force it to give you anything!!! With a daily profit target, most folks would get more anxious as the day progressed with no profits - and then start doing dumb things like jumping into...

    LSU's swing trades...

    lsudaytrade, Whoa, slow down there! IMHO, it sounds to me like you're careening towards a brick wall. You're shorting stocks in the strongest market in a long time. I looked at bebe and hpq, I don't see any shorting setups I would play. Despite several attempts, I haven't made any $ on...

    Where to find cheaper 21" moniters

    For what it's worth, I've bought 2 used 21" monitors through Ebay. In both situations: 1. The original box was not available. 2. The seller did the next best thing by foam encasing them (which if memory serves cost about $30-50 / monitor). 3. The monitor's were shipped UPS Both came...

    Math People-- Question About Exponential Growth

    Exponential growth is not the way to think about it. There are clearly a few assumptions in what your friend has said: 1. Eventually the stock will go back up. 2. That cvx's dividend payout will remain the same over time. Your friend has an investor's mindset - basically a buy and hold...

    IB Commissions Q

    Hi guys, quick question from a prospective IB user. I was looking at IB's Commission Structure on their website and it's not clear if their commissions include ECN fees and Exchange fees. Soooo, does the 1c for the 1st 500 shares and 0.5c above that cover all other fees or are the fees in...

    Profit Taking Strategy

    Interestingly enough, I've been spending some serious time this week in pursuit of testing my exit strategies.
