For sure not. Maybe I've explained myself not clearly enough. What is your understanding of THE value of the company and THE value of the stock? I don't know what mutual funds ought to have to do with it… over time different schools of valuation methods have emerged. None of which...

Not even insiders or only in special situations, like for instance, takeovers and even then not with much reliability. In the news you just hear of the successful insider trading attempts (they've made money based on their inside info) which get caught, but not the unsuccessful ones (lost money...

Actually, there is no objective value of a company other than the market price. Fundamental analysts want to make others believe differently. The value of a company is determined by assumptions about its future and these assumptions are VERY subjective! You can see that also in the wide...

"About half of Jones’s trading depends on technical analysis using historical price charts to predict market moves." Hedge Funds Review, July 2004 (see attachment, page 2, last sentence) … in 2004 he had already made his fortune.

:) You did the right thing, as people seem to have different definitions.

Yes, my definition of TA is every kind of analysis that derives from price and/or volume (as opposed to fundamental analysis), i.e. also price action, market profile, statistical analysis, etc. However, some people define TA only as the classical TA a la Edwards/Magee with chart patterns...

Very interesting post! Also very refreshing to see a long-term interpretation of price action! Thank you for sharing.

Agree. Especially to the last 2 sentences.

If you relate to professionalizing your trading by hiring an assistant or other traders or taking OPM, I agree, as other people are now involved in your trading. You can now share your ups and downs with those (especially with your investors... lol). Then you can get also the sense of...

I can very much identify with this reply. What I miss about the work relationships is the fact that in a regular job you have people who understand exactly what you are doing (usually, not the spouse or regular friends outside of work) and with whom you can share your ups and downs. You go...

There is some truth to that, I guess.

No possibilities to take a more passive role in your company and let some trustworthy capable people manage it for you (and collect the dividends instead of only 1% above inflation)? Otherwise, if it takes you another one or two years until retirement, I will have a good track record by then...

Too bad to hear you will leave. But understandable. Or, if you continue to "print money" like you seem to do, we can hope for early retirement... ;) Looking forward to your last post! Cheers!

Hi garachen, I understand your complaints, but I guess that a public and anonymous forum on the internet will always have these kind of problems you mention. It doesn't matter which particular forum you are part of. And I doubt that forum owners will change their policies due to the views of...

Hootsuite seems to be a great idea... so many social networks etc. one is part of. Will check it out as well sooner or later.

Ah... okay... that's possible. I've used the website (also with one $ sign only).
