How much cash necessary? A little more ! (Attributed to Ross Perot)

What is a loss ? LOL

I am with you iIii. Fox News is the best, the only fair and balanced media. CNN too much on the left, led by this dangerous left wing extremist......Lou Dobbs !!!!!!!!!!!!!

S2007S, a piece of advice, read some bullish articles. You post mainly about negative, bearish articles, which seem to confirm your bias. When I have a bias,like now being bullish, I try to read as much as possible about the other side. It keeps me balanced and alert. just my 2 cents.

Who is Harry Shultz ? What is his method ? Sounds to me that the current uptrend is still the way to go, as there are many doubters (shorts ?) left. So I continue to be, cautiously, long only. 3rd quarter results are around the corner and could be the catalyst for the follow-through or a...

Well, it just confirms, that, SO FAR, the market is strong. It takes news very nicely, ie most news are viewed as positive.

Yes this is the problem of those liberals, watching too much CNN. Fortunately, conservatives have the more reliable, and above all, the fair and balanced, FOX News !!!!!!!!!

I agree with you, bidask, but how do we know the truth ? I believe we all have biases, based on genetics, education, culture, etc... This is why I am more and more a skeptic and an agnostic, especially as far as trading the markets is concerned. So on Monday morning, I am going to do what my...

Swing trader (Few days) Reversal to the mean - 2 long only systems Hedge long only systems by shorting ETFs when certain market conditions occur. No surprise , with current market up bias, long only systems work reasonably well. (System 1: YTD +30.5%, System 2 (IRA): YTD +10.5%, Hedge...

I am also a contrarian, buying mainly stocks which are on the decline. So it is a contrarian strategy as far as specific stocks are concerned, but still going with the the long-term trend, which has been up since many years. I think what eludes a lot of traders is that when they fall, stocks...

I do not remember who said that we trade our beliefs, but I think it is true. So I believe that TA has no value in predicting the future. For me, because there are so many time frames, levels of support/resistance, fib numbers, etc.. I just consider those points where something will happen but...

As I was watching Kenny Rogers' performance against the mighty yankees, I was reflecting on its perfect analogy with trading, i.e., everything is possible (Black swan) ! The probability that Rogers would go for 7+ innings without a run was very small, according to past poor results against the...

Agree with Bonds, here. What threads are actually original, bringing new topics ? Very few. So if we do not like some of them, we can move to another one. The aggressiveness of many ET members always fascinates me. Probably a way to vent out the frustration of trading.

Well I see that, like the commander in chief, you are staying the course !

OK it was a market conspiracy to get Pabst out of ET> Now, we plunge !

Those threads on Politics and Religion can be dangerous because they trigger a lot of emotions, mainly the ones you don' want, anger, frustration, hatred,... as they may influence, negatively, your thought process. and thus your trading.

More than to know if SPX is going to exceed 1348 or not, it would be interesting to see HOW Pabst is trading his call(Position sizing, stop loss, martingale, etc..)

Charlatan, probably !

Yes I understand that the "secret" to becoming rich is to have people believe that there is a "secret" and they can find it in buying your books, DVDs, CD,s, videos. But this is not really a "secret". It is called smart marketing.
