I seem to have more of a problem picking which stocks to short. for some reason I find it easier to pick stocks to go long on. I dont really know what is the cause of this.

You're probably right JORGE. Some stupid decisions were made, no doubt about that. I' do have to learn the difference, problem is I don't know how to go about doing that. I've lost confidence but all hope is not lost, I'm going to keep my head up.

Thanks for all the advice everybody. I really appreciate the fact that it was done in a constructive manner. Since almost everyone recommended against taking greater risk and going all into one stock at a time, I will heed those words and resist from doing so. I believe my biggest mistake was...

How low do you think it'll go?

I thought it would be interesting to see what people think are the best movies that have something to do with the stock market... or even business in general. I'm assuming most people would say Wall Street with Michael Douglass but I want to see if theres any others that im not thinking of.

After being up about 11% for 2007, i am down an unbelievable 21% as of now. and all of the bad trades that caused this happened in virtually one week. this market is eating me alive and i have no idea what the hell to do next. i was considering making some riskier moves and putting all of my...

It had an amazing quarter and had record profits and now all of a sudden its getting dangerously near its 52 week low. It's been dropping and dropping fast. Anyone see a bounce soon?

if its making me money, i wouldnt call it pathetic

there was a HUGE spike from like -10% to up 10% but it seemed as if it wasnt on any news... yet. hmmm, a bit fishy eh.

I was breaking about even but then the end of last week completely destroyed me. I'm down about 8-10% right now. I'm just trying to find out whether its because of the market conditions or just because I'm a beginner and have much to learn... Either way, I've got to do something to get...

I don't know about you guys, but after today and Friday, I am getting killed. I'm interested in seeing how well everyone else is doing so far this year.

I think its time I look into trading technically. If anybody has any books or websites that they can recommend, please let me know. To me it seems that most of the people who are analyzing things technically are doing well right now.

Where would a beginner investor learn more about P&F charts and how to analyze and use them? Any good books or other recommendations?

I'm liking this thread alot. Even if you dont reach your goal, I cant wait to see how far you can go with 5K because that is exactly how much I started with. Hopefully the results are good enough to motivate and inspire alot of people here.

ABK and the team of banks agreed on a plan and all was set, they were ready to go through with the 2.5 billion dollar deal UNTIL the rating agencies said that its not enough and that they need 3 billion to get a AAA rating. so now they're working on that extra 500 million and it ended up taking...

i laughed when i read the threads title. i think its amusing how we've come to expect "3:30 bailouts"

lol good one

everything seems to be down in premarket and all i see is bad news. is there any hope?

sounds like a great idea in theory but would probably be very difficult to pull off.
