    Anyone know where they sell polo shirts with NASDAQ or NYSE logo on them? Similar industry related polo shirts? A few years ago, the NASDAQ web site sold them, but I dont think they do anymore. Thanks

    Ameritrade - Pulling my hair out

    I am stationed overseas at the US Embassy and do not have "easy access" to the 800 number. I cant direct dial and be on hold at my office, and at home its not cost effective to call them due to long distance. besides, in 2004, one would think email would NOT take 3 days to respond to

    Ameritrade - Pulling my hair out

    I trade a few times a month max, and use end-of-day data to make trading decisions. I am NOT a day trader (no disrespect, just not my methodology) and get home at 6 PM, run some scans, check charts, and by 8 PM I am done with my stock market planning for the next day. I am tired of: 1...

    Ameritrade - Pulling my hair out

    I know, I know, most of you guys may not use Ameritrade, as it is geared towards the "home user"/trader. With that said, I am a DATEK user who was forced into Ameritrade when they took them over. It still has the same web-interface, but recently I have had a variety of technical issues...

    DB true, and that is in fact my trading technique. I however, do indeed agree with most of the CANSLIM methods and was sharing my feelings about CANSLIM with the forum. That is what makes trading great, like in the Market Wizards books, each successful trader will find his own method that...

    As a quickie follow-up, if two equally attractive stocks come across my radar screen I will assess the following criteria: STOCK A Industry Group: A+ (top group) Accumulation/Distribution: A+ (undergoing strong accumulation by major institutions) STOCK B Industry Group: C (middle...

    I am a strong supporter of WON's chart reading/TA teachings, however, outside of "top industry group" rating and his proprietary Accumulation/Distribution rating, I don't use his fundamentals. WON teachs that earnings "makes stocks go up." A pure technician knows that stocks go up due to...

    Short against the trend?

    I have a "watchlist" of about 30 stocks that I compiled which responded to EMA crossover very well. Obviously, some stocks trend well and some don't. Also, what works today may not work tomorrow. These points are all noted. What I literally did what take all the SP 500 and 600 stocks and...
