12,500 is a really nice number August was just 2 months ago my question is - how many more of these huge swings will we see in the near term (like through 2008)

Well... I'm fortunate I don't have to quit my day job while I educate myself. So thats a plus As for GRMN --- it was a 'test' of the 'system' Laughing.... 'if it was real life I damn well should have been better prepared The basic Investools method as I understand it is a 'what to...

Looks like she's takin on water to me

I disagree with your reasoning by that logic there would be no one to teach anyone how to become a doctor a plumber a lawyer (maybe a pretty long list here) I might draw this distinction: There are folks who take trading seriously - who share what they know as they see fit There are...

Thanks for taking the time to offer so much feedback! ( I will spend the next day or so researching the terms you used so I actually know what you're explaining) I'm on the path to coming to my own conclusions about how to be effective and make some money trading It clearly ain't a 1...

Understood That makes perfect sense I appreciate the feedback So my first trade tanked because I made it on the day this news came out interesting....

So how do you derive this? gut instinct? or arithmetic?

sorry - what is the acronym ATM?

Thanks for the feedback what are greeks? and how does the money flow chart help you determine the price support ie what is the relationship between the 2?

OK - so armed with my 995 Investools book and their screening system ---- laughing I did a paper trade on GRMN -- November 07 calls The day the stock started to tumble from a High of 120 to its present 85 bucks a share Not deterred by this mistake - I am using the GRMN chart and my...

one of the sales pitches in the Investools class was for ThinkorSwim Discount online brokerage that lets you use a paper trading system online if you keep 3k in a brokerage account there I like to use the paper trading system --- to figure this stuff out Anyone know of any other...

2Many,, I agree with all of your points --- and Im going to look into the expos for whatever low cost information they provide Thats a great insight, and I appreciate your sharing it Observations on Investools I went into the 2 day (995 bucks) course anticipating a hard sell. By...

Hi HW OK so I took the class a couple of observations In my opinion, its clearly for beginners and would have little or no value to an experienced (or even novice?) trader But I think it has value to the completely uninformed: 2 examples: 1) There were about 200 people in the...

Again I think your reasoning is sound I start knowing nothing so youve already been a great help I'll keep you posted on how it turns out

Hw - this is 'great' feedback well reasoned and articulated cleanly thanks very much what caught my attention about investools (from the phil town pitch) was: it appears to me to be a consildation of several schools of thought --- as I understood it from phils pitch you use...

Hi HW Thanks for the list of books ---- Im going to the book store today any thoughts on a tool set that is equivalent to the investools web based stuff that provide the same function/feature --- at less cost?

Thanks optimistic ---- Im aware of their hard sell tactics - that stuff is just entertaining to me - should be fun to talk to them about it I am going to go to at least the first day of the class I'll post some observations when I do I appreciate your feedback

several folks have mentioned that you can get most or all of what you can get from investools from other web sites - at lower cost anyone got a list? thanks

OK - so I got interested in Investools after a pitch from Phil Town I make it a rule (sometimes broken) NEVER to buy anything the day it is pitched to me. The reason is simple: Sales 101 says 'create a sense of urgency in the buyer' Buying 1010 says 'if its a good deal today it will...
