Yah, saw that article a couple days ago. I can't say I disagree with him, but at the same time, I think that the true fall would be so catastrophic that the entire world would plunge into a mess that would make the great depression look like a mild recession. Ergo, I don't see it...

Incredible, but it doesn't surprise me. Some guy locally just bought a house on a lake valued at $3 million for $350K. In this area, that's very unusual, since our prices haven't even begun to fall yet (but it's coming). Congrats on your good fortune, and why shouldn't you brag? Nice deal:).

Where did you pull that definition of 'dot.com' from? Out of the 'air'? How can anyone trade without knowing anything about trading history or even the terminology? DotCom DEFINITION: A company whose operations are entirely or primarily internet-based, or more specifically a company whose...

There's a note about GROW under the Stocks section of the forum. As for the price action, it's hard to say why it's exploding so fast. I'm stunned that it did that, and do not expect it to continue at this pace. I never expected this pace to begin with, but I'm not going to complain about my...

Whoa... nice call Stoney:). Just looked at it now... beautiful. Why compare solar to dot.coms? Yahoo, Google, Amazon, Ebay are all dot.coms. At the time, no one knew which ones would come out on top. Now we do.

Oh yes, I get all my information from Cramer. You mean you don't? :eek:

Ok, I really have to ask again. WHY do you think short is preferable to long?

But why not wait a few days? Why short now? You know with that upward guidance the stock will pop a few days at least before easing... and when it eases, it will not be to the low before. It just seems like an illogical move. I don't follow GM, so I don't know what's going on. Just saw that...

I wouldn't give it to 2008, but it's a bit early to tell yet.

S2007.... what made you decide to short GM? Just curious:).

Told you today would be a slightly down day. Market manipulation? You have to be kidding? This whole market is nothing but manipulation. It's like playing in a sandbox and the unseen adult handing you tools, erasing your sand paintings, and kicking over your castles... but sometimes giving...

LOL! Me too!!! And I never went short once. :D :D

Thin volume stocks can be hugely profitable because it doesn't take as much news to move them.

They're not getting killed, but the value was already priced in... think about it:).

Are you shorting Blue?

LOL! That is funny:).

Well, solar is like biotech IMO... the promise is THERE... but the biggest biggest question is...will the companies that pushed the limits be around for the payoff? You aren't buying the idea, you are buying the PROFITS from the idea in the market. People have a tendency to forget that...

It is more than realistic that some months you will make 20%, it is typical. I said 'Plan for' not AVERAGE OUT TO. In any given year, you will have down months that will take out your best months. Some years a lot of down months. Realistically, if the S&P averages an 8-10% a year, do you see...

You just nailed the biggest problem in the market. How do you know when you held too long and how do you know when its not long enough BEFORE the fact? If the charts tell all, then why aren't all chartists rich? At even 10% a month, that's more than money doubling every year... why are they...

My guess is that tomorrow will close a bit down. We still need to digest the gains and people are always slow to come back and trust again after just taking their money and running away as fast as they could (for a loss). We're either going to churn out the weak hands with little dips like...
