I actually wanted to do that. my brokerage won't let me margin etfs though

Out cat 82.30, after thinking the problem wasn't cat so much. I go for high beta stocks and it did just that. The problem is I got impatient and got back into the market before believing it was about to turn around.

during my best performance with this journal i generally held 3-4 companies. im done with this stupid all in plays, i did it on intel and get crushed and just did it on cat and am getting crushed. i was getting a little over confident and need to go back to what was working. in the mean time i...

just bought the CAT call back for 0.13

for what it's worth apple's selloff is starting to perk my short term interest. i still think its a long term sell though! will be watching closely to get a swing long in.

the snapshot is done nightly, so if you have 25k and you liquidate everynight you qualify for 30 free trades. if you swing trade then you make your purchases, keep the trades on as long as you want, then when you liquidate everything you would qualify again anyways. also, its 25k cash OR...

ya that sucks, but i honestly dont feel like i avoided necesarrily, i made an alternative option that i feel like was never really responded to, i didn't push it, and it fizzled out. you are right and in my mind i am also right. but its all a moot point as you've said. the ONLY reason i came and...

thats fair enough, like i said i dont go short. me going short is going from 200% long to 100% cash. that's the closest i get to going short. i am not trying to pick fights, i will crawl back into my hole and only post in my journal from now on. sorry again.

i see your challenge, and i will decline. the bet i wanted to make was a double touch bet on apple, and that was it. i make 40-60% a year in my trading account as outlined in my journal and i'm fine with that. you make that in about 3-4 months. at no point did i ever try to say i am a better...

i also dont think you need to gain money to be right. on october 18th i went 200% long (with margin) to 100% cash. im still 100% cash and the dow (which most of my underlyings belong to) is now ~800 points lower. so while my account didnt increase from me being cash, i have ~800 dow points worth...

well honestly, i don't really short stuff. you can look at my journal and the only things i short are ultrahort funds which is in essence going long. so ya i didnt make money shorting apple, even though i was right, because i simply dont like to short stuff, id rather sit cash and wait to go...

lol..the difference is i have real time trades in my journal on this site that you can go look at anytime that confirm that chart :D its called investing journal - t2s the third mark on that picture you jsut posted, that i originally posted. is very easy to confirm. go to my journal, look...

i was not willing to take that bet. instead i proposed an alternative bet such as outline in the cody willard vs donald trump jr bet i posted right above

this is a famous bet by cody willard and donald trump jr, it was on TV. the guidelines in this bet are what i was trying to propose: "A couple years ago when oil had spiked and was at $130 or so, I once confidently bet Donald Trump Jr on national TV that oil would see the $30s before it’d...

i guess you don't bet very often? this is what i was proposing me: hey atticus i think apple will hit 550 you: hey took2summit i think not, lets bet me: okay, i bet $100 apple will not hit 638 (i think thats the number you said by the holidays?) , if you will bet $100 it will not hit...

haha wow, you should work in the media, you're actually going to spin my 550 call, you saying it would never happen. it happening. as me losing a wager.

why exactly can a bet not have preconditions? you offered one bet, i offered another. neither one of us accepted either. i also dont get why i try and not name call or anything and just provide facts but you instantly lose your temper, name call, and fling shit.

page 48 on the apple:buying the dips! thread I wrote: "i mean, i'd be willing to make a bet but its not just going to be whether im right or wrong. you need to make a call as well that I disagree with, and if neither one of us are right then the bet is a push. otherwise that's the easiest...
