Keep your risk low enough so that if you lose ten times in a row you will not be psychologically or financially wiped out. (And if you do lose a few times in a row, make the risk lower and lower till the losing trend breaks.)

ATTACK DOG A man wanted an attack dog to protect his business, so he visited a kennel that specialized in attack dogs. The man explained to the kennel owner that he wanted the biggest, meanest, most vicious dog in the kennel, and the owner offered to take the man on a tour of the premises...

SCHOOL DAY The telephone rings in the principal's office at a school. "Hello, this is Dunn Elementary," answers the principal. "Hi. Jimmy won't be able to come to school all next week," replies the voice. "Well, what seems to be the problem with him?" asks the principal. "We are all going on a...

ROAST BEEF Q: What's the difference between roast beef and pea soup? . . . . . . . A: Anyone can roast beef.

WHEN I GET HOME Two guys were out walking home from work one afternoon. "Man," the first guy said, "as soon as I get home, I'm gonna rip my wife's panties off!" "What's the rush?" his buddy asked. "The damn elastic in the legs is killing me!"

I Know the Truth At school, Little Johnny was told by a classmate that most adults hide at least one dark secret and this makes it very easy to blackmail them merely by saying, "I know the whole truth." So Little Johnny decides to try it out. When he arrives home from school that day, he...

ARGUMENT A couple was driving down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the wife asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"...

Yes, if a really big, strong trend forms, you could get hurt very badly. Do you understand why?

At 64 strike, puts would be deeply IN the money, calls would be way out of the money. Yeah, puts could be assigned to your friend. Calls not assigned because way out of the money.

The whole problem with the 1929 crash chart overlay is that the "PowersThat Be" totally know about it. If they manipulate a melt up, the massive short positions will be forced to cover and we could have a parabolic rally. Very possible scenario. But parabolic rises usually do end in real crashes.

google "dividend aristocrats"--if someone diversified (that is key) into many such stocks, they would have a very safe source of dividend income; but very few at this website want a solid 3-4% per year; this is elitetrader, not eliteinvestor : )

hi fxturtle, i saw that over 1200 trades have been done since september; do u use an automated system, or are those trades discretionary/you doing them at your computer? Good Luck! bry

If an investor--not a trader--was interested in a dividend aristocrat, and the stock dropped by 25%, the dividend pay out would go UP by 25%; it is extremely safe for this type of conservative investing, going after the dividend, not the stock price; it is similar to buying bonds once again, it...

Oops. I realized that I am such a short-term trader, that my making any prediction like "3 weeks" is a no-no. I may become bearish in a day or two, or remain bullish for a long time. Only the market/the charts can tell us what to do. I got the 3 weeks by trying to extrapolate the top on...

Draw ur trend lines, and look out for candle formations, buddy. If a top does indeed occur, I would guess, at this point, that going short MIGHT be good in about 3 weeks. I am currently long a few stocks, not short anything.

Plus we are still in a bull market; the market can shrug off bad news and keep going up. When the market shrugs off good news and keeps going down, well, that's not a bull market!

I usually don't fight a battle of wits with an unarmed man, but in this case, due to his bloated ego-rudeness, I will make an exception: "HEY, BADNEWSBEAR, HOW IS YOUR LONG DUST POSITION (that you entered at 28, see: http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?t=280803&page=10 )? I READ YOUR...

I too saw that 1929 crash chart overlay on another website, and am ready to respect it. I am also ready to respect if Fed manipulation will keep the market going higher. Studying the charts daily will keep a smart technician on the right side of the market. Much appreciation to the mature...

Writing a put and holding it until it expires will either just give you credit (cash) if it expires out of the money (OTM), or will give you the actual stock shares at 100 shares per option if it expires in the money (ITM). The price entry for your stock shares would be the put option strike...

after friday's action, I am very bullish gold, but my time horizon is swing trader, so no definite predictions for the whole year: for the next couple weeks, or so, up
