I have a friend who is an excellent trader who has now become powerless over the "all powerful". I can't believe the way he is trading right now. He wants her to become involved and she thinks she is sitting on a stool in front of a slot-machine in a Casino.

Weird for exposing our deep love for our national pastime of pessimism. You are the guy I would want next to me in a fox-hole on the battle-field. However, not the guy I want running my war.

7793, if you are a trader, you don't give a rats-azz which way the market goes or anything else for that matter. I am just as happy with a red candle as I am with a green candle as long as I am on the right side of it....That is about as "positive" as it can get.

In the Oval Office with Monica Lewinsky while sending a "Flight of four" to missile some poor-bastards off their camels in the desert.

It isn't about Cramer. It is about those who follow Cramer and those who are responsible for sham to go on. My guess is Cramer was at the right place, knew the right people and was "lucky" at the right time to have caught a move for which he took credit and believed it was all about him.

Maybe I am off base here, but I don't know any successful short-term trader who trys and predict the market, let alone tell others about their predictions. The ones I know, merely take what the market gives them and act accordingly. today's market had something for everyone's...

I too don't see why any trader using his trading technique would care one way or another.

From the perspective as an ex-fighter pilot and those on this forum who have been or are aviators, I am sure you find many similarities with trading and flying. In weather instrument flying (IFR) there is only one source for our maintaining flight integrity and it the aircraft instrument panel...

Thanks for the insight. I had the same question. Do they still gun for your stops like they used too?

Mvic, I hope you don't think I think anyone should take a trade because they get some wild-hair up their butt? I may logically think with facts and believe the market is going-up over a period of time with all indications saying so. However, there can come a shift with the tools I as traders...

LOL, It is the "think-trader" (logic) which gives the "see-trader" (intuitiveness) a fertile play ground, IMO.

You hit on the key. It is taking the subconscious level to the conscious level so the required action can be applied. What we have to be careful, is the evaluation part. There is a reason for the phrase "over analysis results in paralysis". Haven't you ever had a trade you just "knew" felt right...

I agree wholeheartedly it takes education, experience and awareness. It is how our mind-sight is condition as to whether we make wise or unwise decisions. Hey listen, the nature of any forum has its drawbacks in misunderstanding anyone's post and the posters intention. Basically, it gets down to...

Don't you really mean trade what you "feel" by what you see? It is the "thinking" part which gets traders in trouble. A perfect example would be a field goal-kicker. Also, it is the reason opposing coaches try and "ice" the kicker. If the field-goal kicker has to think about it he is more apt to...

It is amazing what one person sees and another does not. It is why the market is what it is. I coach people how to trade and what was a revelation to me was how many just can't trade no matter how smart, successful in other things or how well educated. I used to think anyone can learn to be a...

Of course he is not a trader. Do you think traders are born? He can "become" a trader. Whether he does what is necessary, is up to him. Obviously, the odds are against him, but it is doable.

No, I think he feels he only deserves to be treated like a loser or an idiot. He's in self destruction mode which is a sign he wasn't prepared for this. At least he is honest with himself that's what might help him improve his trading skills. How many would have stayed quiet like nothing...

Buyers are celebrating Martin Luther King while sellers are celebrating their profits from down turn. Otherwise, nothing more than some enjoying a holiday while others are enjoying commerce.

stock, I thank my fortunes there are so many who think as you do.

I tell people I don't do anything. If I tell them I Trade, their eyes roll and I either have to explain or defend. They come-up with the damn-est things which has nothing to do with anything. I am usually short which they don't understand shorts or if I say, "down" they want to argue....it is...
