No self respecting citizen is trading EXFO these days...perhaps when people fell for the 98% CEO equity in the prior decade...it was a great long for me but no intelligent trader is trading this stock today... believe me when i say it is a dead horse.... i mean the nerve of lamonde...at the...

Depends on your personality and if you have current audits. They can start you in the mailroom and then you can bang the bosses wife while working for a promotion. Oh wait, that's a movie with michael j. fox, sorry.

There have been a dozen or so trades in my lifetime where i bought the exact low or sold the exact high. Just sold some FRX at the high, still positioned long with more cash on hand now.

This thread is interesting. Most people define themselves as traders based on god knows what as long as they can justify their existence in some way. I believe the figure is high only because there are more people that will give up then stay the course; until they can swing their dollars...

Long FRX from this week, target is $46.74. morgan stanley inventory shuffle--no hype on namenda. EDIT: target is $48.50, my mistake.

fwiw... I had some decent chems trades last week. Perhaps looking over the speculation in the chemicals sector could yield profits this week. There is management and analyst press as well. Things could heat up fast....esp. some servicing drillers as part of operations. The good companies are...

I looked over MOT and immediately opened a short position, a third of which i covered before the close. My intent is to add if it cannot break todays highs and to cover in the high 19's if given the chance. Thanks to the poster for bringing this speculation to my attention. Good trading....

that PUT should expire 'worthless' if this is the medium term low but if RIMM heads to $65 before $70 prior to news break then you may have more free money to extract from that PUT; if this is the low then you have sold puts at the correct point and can start to think about selling sep. calls...

SEP. RIMM 65 puts are pretty juicy...

Five grand is tough to make a go of it but it is enough to start learning how--much, what, when to trade. What about trading cheaper stocks so you can get at least 50 shares pref. 100 ? Also, you may spread out management/company risk by trading index and/or sector instruments--> SPY , DIA ...

I'm not in a position to teach or mentor that requires a skill set i do not possess as this juncture in life. I am profitable and have been for 39 months and counting, trading consistently profitable companies that generate positive cash flow through up and down cycles, using no more then 2:1...

Excellent find and story. Did you make any dough? I like hearing about the setup and exit. (I should be on vacation--low volume and market action--last week was busy with ops. and econ. #'s plus weather...why couldn't i predict this?lol)

Just a thought. Would it make sense to choose better stocks to trade? Ones that are well hidden and not spoken about in the mainstream media? Perhaps this will allow for you to build a better approach. But, knowing that there are individuals that can just about do anything i can see why you...

you like triangles... ROK

LOL I'm glad you have such a high regard for equity traders...i don't. :) The ONLY thing that separates me and my trading from a monkey is that i do not groom myself in public nor do i throw feces for attention. ;)

LOL ... You are kidding around now. I know it's near the end of the week and profits are bursting at the seams but have mercy on me--IBD (lol). Must be nice... Yes, forums can be very helpful at times for various reasons...there are some decent human beings out there, if you can believe it...

Well, only you can be the judge of ONLY trading equities. To me, it seems as if you have the capability to leverage into futures and gain consistently in certain conditions. Equities limit your exposure in a way that can achieve outside market results but futures give the capability of greater...

I will pray for you as well. Please get better soon--traders have the will power to beat anything. God Bless
