This was the range I picked to place my orders at. Spread opens up afterhours and if there is enough action you can pull it off. Let's say I was long 2000 shares and placed an order to buy 100 at 48.21 reserve 1500 and got filled on 300. At the same time have an order to sell 100 at 48.72...

"The force is strong with him" - Star Wars "May the Schwartz be with you" - Spaceballs I love watching Star Wars (all episodes) whenever I have a draw down. I love the concept of the force and the Jedi. At my level of trading experience, it comes down to KNOWING that I will be taking money...

Bought in phases and sold in phases. The most I paid for it was 48.21 and the most I sold it for was 49.10. It was going up when I traded it. I had great entry initially and just kept buying and then I gave it to the greedy ones at a "fair market" price :) I don't even know how many shares I...

Doc said do not watch the market and rest, so I did not watch the market until the close. Turned on CNBC at 12:58 and watched the ticker. I saw this stock IGEN going nuts, so I ran upstairs, started RealTick, read the news and bought it. I sold it about 75 minutes later :) Damn this was...

"In both bull and bear markets, someone will always say that stocks are overvalued. And, of course, that person will be right one day. But as a trader, it is wise to take positions in the direction of the momentum rather than form an opinion. The best traders I know blew their accounts...

Thanks, I went back to the doctors this evening and was diagnosed with Pneumonia. Got an antibiotic shot and a direct order to rest for the next two weeks. So you don't have to worry about me taking your money for the next two weeks :) Trade Smart! Tony

When 27% of the maximum gain I could make on this investment were realized in three weeks, the risk/reward formula changed. If I hold to expiration, the return is 32% from here on what I can get today. The holding time is the same (a year plus). So since a lot of premium was taken out of...

First I'd like to apologize for not posting replies. We went to Las Vegas for New Years and I picked up some horrible virus and ended up in the hospital. Today is my first day on the computer. I am still feeling like shit, but wanted to declare the winners of this poll. I think it was...

This is what I'm talking about :) I like to see the longer term outlook that people have. I respect all opinions. Tony

Anyone care to share with us his views on the matter. In short can you tell us the following: 1. I feel SEBL will be over $30.00 in Jan 2003 because .... 2. I feel SEBL will be over $20.00 but under $30.00 in Jan 2003 because .... 3. I feel SEBL will be under...

Let me see .... hmmmm.... Chatrooms provide real-time calls and not newsletter type of calls. How is their performance on a "newsletter" basis (trades selected before the open) would reflect the performance of the calls they make in their chat-room in real-time??? Now, if you had a...

Candle, I'm glad you find my posts valuable :) But, just to clarify to everyone: I AM NOT A CHATROOM VENDOR !!!!!!!! I never had a chatroom, and I doubt that I ever will. I can't trade and type at the same time --- I'm just not that talented. :D Happy New Year Everyone!

Position Screen Shot. The daily P&L is meanigless at this point. There is more than a year to go on this one :) Happy New Year!!!

I'm Suumitting this post again with a poll that will expire in ten days. Feel free to vote, and please tell us about your vote. Here is the position I took for the next year. I don't mind sharing it with you, but keep in mind that this is an investment and not a trade. I have been...

Here is the position I took for the next year. I don't mind sharing it with you, but keep in mind that this is an investment and not a trade. I have been sitting in cash for a long while (since Sep 2000), and I have watched my returns diminish with every interest rate cut. But, I did not...

Wow, I wrote four books on the subject, where do you want me to start :) In short, I bought SEBL yesterday when I saw it on my scanner. I placed a stop loss for the original shares. My price target was 34-37 in two weeks. Next, I liked the liquidity and momentum on it, so I started day...

Hi Neil, Scanner will only be available through RealTick. I like the reliability they offer and when you have your name attached to a product you want nothing but the best :) As to future threads, I have a few threads in mind I would like to start next year. I will start one at a time...

Started with 8K when I was 16 (1986). A loooooooooooong bumpy road indeed :) Tony

I woke up from my 30 minute nap and did not like what I saw, so I sold SEBL at 30.002. I actually made it break through 30, sorry. Although the P&L shows negative, I made money on the trade, because my entry was better than my exit :) So, I booked a little bit over 5K today. But, I...
