I kick myself for not scoping out WTW earlier on. Who diets during a recession???

You missed INTEL. Just busted through $20 this past week.

What the hell?!! He grew a mustache on the ride!!! :eek:

Scary stuff. One day you're a high flying day trader in your cozy trading room in a mcmansion somewhere in a tree-lined suburban utopia and the next the possibility of rooming with Jerome in the big house is very real all because of a virus.

That sucks! High frequency traders and dark pools are moving millions of stocks in subpennies and here I am sitting on my 1k shares trade and watching the ticker and just praying my hunch is on the money.:mad: Just how much of a penny are they allowed to buy and sell stocks? Can they quote a...

I need to come up with a stupid idea like "the pet rock" so I can fund my account. Gary Dahl is a genius!

I went to cash in my 403b retirement plan in late 2007. Had I just waited patiently I could have redistributed at the bottom around march 2009 and grew it 2x+ within the year. :mad:

Good read. I find his article he references a great read too. http://www.stocktrading.com/riskreward2.html

LoL. When you say daytrader it sounds like "dayjitter".

You should pick a blue chip undervalued stock. Pile your $1300 into it and for the next 12 months add $500/month to it. Give yourself 12 months before making decisions about the best time to take profits. In the meantime, you paper trade the stock and put in some screen time observing its...

Many moons ago I had a little snafu with a whole lot of optimism on a couple of stocks and my account almost got obliterated. It was at one time 1/5 of it's original value. I held on to the stocks and prayed like mad. The stocks are staging a nice comeback just this past couple of months and...

If I sell a call for $2 and the option gets in-the-money before expiration, who is on the other side of the assignment transaction? Is this a person who was willing to buy a call for $2 at the same strike price or would it be just anyone who bought a call at the same strike price ? Would I...

It's a wash sale since you sold it in less than 30 days. What I'd like to know is if you elect mark-to-market accounting when you do your 2009 tax return can you then consider it a loss against your gains for the year 2010? I read something somewhere regarding this issue but still not very clear.

Who the hell ruined this thread?!!? It was just getting more interesting by the minute ! :mad:

What is your starting capital? How long have you studied trading? What is your other job? Sorry for the curt questions. Just curious.

There is no other woman. Tiger just foolishly ate 2 square chunks of skunk weed brownies and got a little excited that night.

What's your P/L thus far?

Best of luck daystructure! I am curious to know. What was your initial capital when you first started ---before the big spending and losses?

can't upload a bmp.

I have a feeling I am going to be unemployed in february of 2010 so I've decide to put in screen time and hone my game in case I can't find another job in time and have to make a quick buck. TOday, I made $330 fakemoney trading AMD, BAC, and INTC from the opening bell to around 10am PST...
