If you had traded your call, your account would be giving you the kudo's you desire.

What Robert said plus zero commission

That would mean that the middle class probably doesn't own a house. Or that the middle class is carrying a lot of debt..

I've never owned a bond but the investors I know who have a portion of their investments in bonds don't put the entire bond allocation in the 10 year then wait ten years to cash it in. They ladder in and out every year. Rince and repeat. If I knew I needed cash a year from now for a major...

I missed that, must be someone I have on ignore. Probably my friend John. :) Can you imagine ET without name calling. How will you make your point without cursing out the poster you disagree with? :rolleyes:

Price either goes up or down or sideways. Take your best guess and protect your capital. Same as all the other books.

You mean that going forward there will be no more name calling?

I don't think the CEO's job is that easy. For one thing he has to put up with the whining, crying sandwich makers.

I ask myself why people buy bonds. It's the guarantee that you get your money back. The return on government bonds is considered the risk free return. Why would those people put their money into a risk asset? Especially one with the volatility of bitcoin. Sure there is a possibility/probability...

Your problem is the trader not the strategy!!! It doesn't matter what strategy you use if you are going to sabotage yourself.

Where is the big money coming from?

Would these be better named investments rather than trades? I know it's semantics but to me trading is speculating on asset pricing and investing is buying assets based on the fundamentals. An investor will hold an asset until the fundamentals change, a trader will hold a position until the...

What are the other two legs?

You are not addressing the "Why" You keep saying you can't help yourself but until you figure out why, you never will.

Can you honestly answer why you don't follow your plan? There is a reason somewhere why you don't execute when you should. What ever you are afraid of is greater than the pain of taking a small loss. Only you know why. In my case I didn't want to be that guy who sells just as the price turns so...

How do you deal with losses? Why do you consider how to avoid losses a quality question? When you consider that the majority of traders will experience losses, having a coach ask how to avoid losses gives the impression that you should be able to avoid them. Not realistic!!

My process when someone gives me a symbol Look at the 3 month daily chart. (10,20 & 50 ma's and Vol) Then 1yr weekly (10 &30 ma's and Vol)) Then 5yr weekly (10 & 30 ma's and Vol) I want to see the ma's stacked. I prefer to see price close to the ma's not too extended. If interested I look for...

Yet he made 2 million when a million was a lot of money. You get to choose the size of your loss by sizing your position. What I do is size my position somewhere between 0.5 and 1% risk to my portfolio. That is 1% of my portfolio divided by the difference between my entry and my stop = number...

No, the authors you quoted are not big fans of diversification. O'Niel suggests 7 to 8 stocks maximum. Darvis says "Diversifying over a large number of stocks leads to only average performance. Since only 3 or 4 will produce big profits the remaining stocks drag the performance down." Right at...
