Still in WMT and I got into SPN to. I bought 2x OCT 35 Puts. Market is dropping, but I have noticed a nice down market in Steel and an uptrending market in Chemicals. As a matter of fact, Chemical stocks seem to be the only thing going up [Other than Sterling, Eurodollar, and Yen] I have...

I am now officially out of FMD, it hit my stop level. A good thing too, since the market rallied a butt ton, and nothing happened... I am currently in Walmart OCT 35 CALLx2 Market is not trending really. Having problems finding trending stocks [WMT looks to be]. I am not good at playing...

Well, had to wait, but according to my rules, I am out of VMW Was in at 7.6x2 OCT 35 Call and now out at 3.8x2 Still in FMD. Got in at $3.89x100. Both trades are virtual due to emptying account due to a medical emergency a few weeks ago.

I just wanted to say this: I learned more from this journal than all the books that I have read and DVDs that I have ever watched on trading I'm luvin' it!

Here goes a question to all the ET economist out there: Did lowering taxes as the Reagan Administration did REALLY improve economic growth in the US...or did lowering the Federal Funds rate do it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_funds_rate#Historical_rates Because, based on the years...

In the last post, I should have put sexy breakout time with a "?" vice an "!". nett to FMD Stock has retraced. Still in it though because it has not hit my sell point. Neither has VMW. I would post some stock for me to look at, but fact of the matter is I am typing this from my brother's...

I have been to Fort. McMurrary Canada. $80K is effectively poor up there. Everything has to be shipped in and prices are inflated up the wazoo. Double wide trailer on an Acre of land is $900K CAD. I know of guys sharing single bedroom apartments [with 10 guys in them, they cycle weeks...

After using the "Virtual Trader" on Optionsxpress for the past few months, earlier this month I noticed a "feature" that has almost put me to the tipping point in dealing with this company [It started with needing 25K to trade futures]: YOU CAN NOT BUY OR SELL INSIDE OF THE PROGRAM'S BID BY...

Yes, 15 of the 19 were from Saudi Arabia. http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2002/02/06/saudi.htm

The link that posted said EXACTLY what you just stated. Obviously, YOU didn't read it. Yes, they were not christian, but they did indeed believe in a God. They were Diest after all during the Enlightenment movement. Now, you said that GOD should be put back into the schools. When I...

I believe in all your statements except the highlighted one. The common misinomer in our society is that the architects of America were Christian men. That is very far from the truth: http://freethought.mbdojo.com/foundingfathers.html Not to mention the fact that if the forefathers of...

Got into the OCT 08 35 Call for VMW @ 2x7.7 on the OX virtual trader. Drug stores and solar are kicking the tires and lighting the fires in this new market. But the banks, that have been regaining some momentum, are dropping like hotcakes now!!! Looking at the following companies for...

So, I have started trading currencies...at least on paper. I am currently testing out FXCM, but I am not liking the platform so much right now. I have looked at some charts and saw that the $CAD/CHF looked like a good buy, but FXCM either didn't support that pair, the pair is not available...

I have been in the market for a nice foreclosed condo in my area, and I noticed this too. Rates at 2% but many banks [especially here in Tampa] have held THEIR rates at 6-7% Yeah, that may be historically low still, but I know of WAY too many people who have been trying to refi to lower...

So, I no longer have that "extra" money in my account. A medical emergency happened, and umm...I discovered that my medical policy has a VERY, VERY expensive hospital deductible. So, I am going to continue this journal with "paper" trades. Also, I am going to start looking into trading...

HOLX hit my stop point and GRMN had earnings coming up. I actually contemplated violating my holding over earnings rule for GRMN. After an hour and some change of thinking about it, I just completely sold the position...something about it just did not feel right. Which was a good thing...

Got out of BIIB Aug 60 calls due to being stopped out. With my type of job [where I end up traveling and teaching a lot], I always set a contingent order of a sort. In: 5.7 x 3 Out: 4.6 x 3 Total: -1.1 x 3 = -3.3 [$330] Account value: $2670 Currently in VTIV [On the downside...

I am going to give it a few days, but is appears that we may be having a market bull rally during this bear market time. So, I am still in VTIV and BIIB but I have again moved my stops up. The one thing that sucks about being a newbie trader is also having a full time job to...sometimes it...
