to me the rally is a pullback. the overall market trend is downward, we are in the correction.

take your money.... pay for a good business school get someone else to pay you to trade and to show you what the street is REALLY like. after to understand the basics you will be about 30-35. then take 10% of your money as risk capital, and you will actually know what you are doing...

overall i agree with you. But, I have an image stuck in my mind of a job interview i did several years ago for position as an FX trader...The guy interviewing me did pretty well...about $600k per year. had about 15 years under his belt. In the interview, he said "how do you trade" I said...

i will say it, at this moment, i am a bear, a newbie....and i am in cash (due to being stopped out). My current strategy is to try to find weak stocks and short them. the last 3 weeks have been VERY unsuccessful. I continue to looks for shorts mainly the the homebuilding sector....But i...

i was watching it too with my finger on the "short button"...luckily i didnt hit it. it was news, significant news. Interest rates directly effect housing sales.

look guys. pure fundamentals or pure technicals are both a waste of time. You cant use one without the other. It is like a doctor taking vitals but not looking at the patients chart. Even supposed "pure technical" traders get out of positions if there is a major economic annoncement, and...

nothing wrong with trailing stops. But, you can get eaten alive by comms if too tight.

yep. most people are long. most small investors dont sell short. the traditional way of thinking says "if the market goes down, people are losing money" whether that is true or not.

if it is after the exdividend date, and you hold it long enough to reach said date. if it is before the date, you have to pay the other person the premium for the dividend. not a stupid question man.

Ok. lets play a word assosication game.... Blue...........RED Left...............RIGHT Long.............SHort Buy................? not selling??? how are we not selling?

i think io need that best feeling...i now officially have the worse feeling...lost $5k over the last 3 weeks. i have that..."well, its only money, i can make it back, but damn i want to cry" feeling.

hi guys. Question. I live in central america, have no connection or desire to live in Russia. But, i read ablot about the quality of life in other countries. Overall, russia has a very, very low quality of life. do you agree with this?

Housing starts are down 5.6%..but the homebulder stocks go up about 5%.....can anyone explain this?

You can calculate your probability based on the given system that you use. For example, If you use a triple moving average crossover with a specific instument, that has been tested to work 60% of the time under specific contitions and a specific time frame on a specific csecurity, you can...

I agree 100%. there is ALWAYS somthing that will make money, not just in the market, not just in the US...but anywhere. Maybe the same old tired stuff we have been trading the last few years is getting boring...but housing has dropped like 20-40% since july. 20% in 4 months is a pretty wicked...

Man, i was expectin g sharp drop in homebuilders today after housing starts numbers...It went the other way on me...crap.

hopefully meander sideways at about $5 a share. that would make my P/L very happy.:D

I have been short DHI (Dh horton...a very large homebuilder) for a few weeks. they had earnings out today and they were spectacular...like 61% revenue 38% profit...whatever...really really good. and the stock has varied between 1.5% down to about 1.3% up. now a bit up. I feel better about...

dont do what? Still short the whole position...not much action the past week. recovered a bit form a 10% fall which is to be expected. Today i lost 1% in DHI due to an AMAZING earnings report. but if it only went up 1% on such amazing numbers...i feel 80% my direction and timing is correct...
