i don't know when we're going to see the dow climb back to 11k. i don't mind though. i'm long on "qid." :D

i agree. at 3 mos. out the trend line would definitely get tighter

the market is people u know. so r u sayin that people r highly unpredictable.

thank u. reading is fundamental.

i was right about tivo winning the first suit against echostar. and the price climbed about $2 b4 the news even came out. friday echostar got the court to appeal the decision and tivo dropped $2 in 2 mins. again b4 the news broke. today i knew that the stock was over sold and was bound to climb...

true true true. it's much easier to post when you're winning. kinda gives you a self rightous feeling. i'm feeling pretty self rightous rite now. :D :p

fractals have the same pattern when looked at at any magnification. i don't believe the same holds true for financial markets. a line on a stock for a 1 day period doesn't look the same as a line on a stock for a 5 year period. however i do agree that the markets do have a degree of...

well said!

i really dont understand why they are even changing anything. if retaul traders go below their margin the broker can sell the position so what's the problem??

i trade only in equities. i don't like indexes; and commodities i feel are only for a long term strategy i have a lot to learn about futures. i understand thev concept, but i'v never traded futures; not sure how "that" market works. so far i understand that its riskier than equities thus...

actually. it was the opposite for me. i didnt open any positions mon. and tues. was about the same, but wed. thurs. and fri. i opened and closed more than a few positions with profits

futures huh? i don't know a lot about trading futures. i'm going to have to practice. is futures trading similar to equity day trading??

i concur. i never put all my money into the market. i just slowly eat away at my savings account to cover losses in the market. but if it wasnt for my wife bringing home a steady check, i wouldnt be trading full time and maybe not even part time. i'v only been trading 6 months and i'm...

i personally blew my top when i got the news. these new rules are going to kill me. i use leverage for every trade. i like to use 1/3 of my trading power for each trade so that i have an opportunity to have 3 positions open at once. i havent been that lucky yet, but it's nice to have that...

volatility is my strategy as well. i'v only been trading for about 6 months and it seems to me that if volatility is not in the market; (a lot like the volume right after the christmas break) new strategies are going to have to be formed if the low volume or volatility is going to be the new...

11:30a?? glued to the screen. looking for a new position.

after 6 mos. of professional trading i have adopted this strategy as well and i trade in equities only. after 12p cst no more new positions, but i do keep an eye on a few stocks if i'm expecting a big movement.

yeah naked shorts are going to be inevitable as long as there are market makers and leverage. it's only natural. whenever i'm long and a stock takes an unnatural dip and then right back up to the original price, i don't blame my analysis i believe it's the market makers making a killing because...
