    SPX.. they say opportunties don't come twice

    I think most of the shorts have been squeezed out, so I don't see anymore melt ups. We rallied on the troops entering Bagdad. If they get mired down in Bagdad, we should retrace at least back to 8000. Best case scenario for the longs is two more weeks of buying, then everyone realizes...

    Is this an answer of all pros to a rookies of any kind?

    Nah, rookies eyes get too big and they take profits too fast. A violent market day will make them stray from their strategy. They change their stategy every time they take a loss.

    I'm short AFFX

    Don't know. I don't argue with the MMers. I take the ask and sell the bid. Spread is almost always .3-.4, so I use strategies to compensate for this.

    I'm short AFFX

    Covered my short too. Something told me to roll into a put option with a lower delta, and I am so glad I did. I took a loss but it was within the tolerance of my system. I have also noticed that AFFX is not rising in proportion with the rest of the market as yet.:confused:

    I'm short AFFX

    I wouldn't call you a fool. I would say that the reaction to earning may well be overdone, and it would be technically stronger to buy the bounce. Of course, AFFX could fall at least 2 more points, especially if the market decides to sell the entry into bagdad. I am currently short GS...

    Any advice for a beginner short-term trader?

    I am assuming a small account. I am also assuming a system that will generate at least 25% win loss ratio. Finally, I am assuming a P/L ratio of 3 to 1. I use 10% all the time, and I am net postive for the year over 100% , thanks to last week.

    Did Rumsfeld & Co. Put Us In A Mess? And Why Are We Really There?

    I agree with this post, I am totally opposed to the war, it is imperialism. The American people, IMO, will deal with Bush and his policies next year. But right now, we are in a fight, and we must fight and win.

    Precisely. A lot folks don't know that in urban combat, if you take a target with 50% casualties to the attacking force, you have done well.

    Sick Feeling

    It is possible for everyone to win. If everyones timing was correct, then everyone would win. I am a swing trader, you are a daytrader, others trade options, some hedge. The difference between a winner and loser in any field, including this one, is education and timing. It is not a zero...

    Sick Feeling

    Many of them may indeed depend on someone elses loss, but that is not inherent built into the system, and therein lies the difference. MO, IMO, sells addictive poisons. They do so willingly. Therefore the pain of others in BUILT IN to their profit margins. I choose not to trade companies like...

    Sick Feeling

    Db, either I am not properly communicating, or you are not properly recieving. I have stated that the stock market is NOT a zero sum game, therefore it is possible for both parties in a trade to be profitable, one on the long side, the other on the short side. There are many strategies that...
