whats the catch with these? anyone know? how can someone guarantee you that you'll match/beat the market on the upside and not lose any principal on the downside?

I'm back baby!!! details to follow

i think i did a good job calling them both.

yhoo earnings weren't flat. they beat estimates, and they were pretty much double same q last year. same q last year they sold a boat load of goog stock which inflated their earnings. if you look at earnings history on yahoo finance, it shows 9 cents for same q last year (which excluded the...

just curious, if this guy made 7 million in 2 years why's he selling his services? http://www.trendfund.com/workshops/default_llt5.asp?AdID=Y&grp=31&trafficid=153198 FYI, i saw the ad on yahoo's finance page and just find it curious.

Any thoughts as to whether yhoo & goog will beat street expectations? I think they both have a decent chance just given the lower expectations this q as compared to last q (kinda like how ebay missed estimates 2 qs ago and the talking heads thought they were old news, but they came thru big...

there's no free money

originally bought at 190. added about 25% at 310

laugh all you want...but goog is taking msft down... earlier in the summer msft execs (gates & balmer) were dissing goog (gates saying it was ridiciously overpriced, balmer saying it was only a search engine)... they were dissing goog cuz they were scared... we'll see what they have to say...

thanks for the answer!

Last week I put a limit buy good till canceled order for an otc stock (elec.ob). I put the order in for 47 cents. I got a partial fill last week (about half my order), and the rest is still on order. Today the stock actually traded lower than my order (at 46 and 45 cents) but my order never...

Thanks for the tips man!...But they're a few months too late. I went bust when Yahoo missed revenues by a penny. Oh well, may still get my nsx, just won't be doing it by trading for it. I took a 2 month hiatus from trading while I pondered what went wrong, but i'm back baby! (just put in a...

A.D., check out this thread -- http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52424 I tried to turn 5k into 260k. So far i'm pretty close to failing, but this is good for you... Due to the law of averages, if I fail, that means you have a better shot at it. My advice is...

The Motley Fool wrote an article the other week about what if they'd just held onto the winners instead of trading after small gains (then they went on to pump their hidden gems service)... Anyways, this thinking is flawed because if he'd always held on to winners, he might be holding onto a...

This PE is awesome!!! I think goog deserves a pe like bidu, how bout $2100/share? ...Wouldn't touch bidu with a 10 foot pole

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=bidu the investment banks who paid 20 a share just made a killing at the open.

although for the amount of hours put in (planning, training, playing) and the number of ppl involved (players, management) plus the risk (of getting beat up) it didn't seem like that great of an accomplishment

i say you should cash out all your accounts, head over to foxwoods, atlantic city, vegas, reno, (insert favorite casino/city) and play it all at blackjack. why waste your time on yahoo when your system works. if you have 100k, turn it into a mil easy. plus you'll get all those free perks for...

agree with everything u said. sorry it wasn't clear. what i meant by my lines like -- 20-1 payoff/~odds is that if u risk with 1 dollar, the payoff is 20 dollars, and the odds of hitting that are 1/(20+/- ur edge) = ~5% +/- edge. the example i used simplified things in assuming theres a...

this is true, if your plan is to either make your goal (100k) or go bust (0) and not stop in the middle, you're better off taking a risk that'll pay off the first time (ie a 20-1 payoff/~odds with your entire 5k at risk) instead of either 1. taking smaller risks that have less payoff or (ie your...
