After we've had a run (up) I just look for stocks that have high percentage moves and look to go short. I'm not looking for crappy companies. The ones I look at are often semiconductors and they may have great fundamentals but all stocks get overextended at times. And I'm merely looking for a...

That may be true but one has to be able to trade down markets as well. Playing the short side and/or trading ETF's like SDS (2 x inverse of S&P) has to be part of ones plan IMO. My analogy is only playing the long side would be like a football team only running the ball (and never passing). One...

Clearly $3K won't cut it for many reasons. But trading with less than $250K does not set one up for disaster. I've traded for 20 years with $150K to $170K most of the time and if you're truly a trader, and take profits daily, and have plenty of BP each and every day you can do quite well.

Lots of people make $$ trading. When I started in the mid 90's at an All-Tech office in Michigan there were all kinds of aspiring traders. A guy who worked 2nd shift at Ford in Engineering, a couple stay at home Mom's, a guy with his Series 7 & 55, an accountant, an opthamologist, a CPA, an ex...

I quit my job 20 years ago to trade full time. Some people questioned my decision since I had a goo corporate job. Even my parents (without saying so) were wondering what I was doing. I disagree that we may not contribute as much to society. For the past 15 years I've volunteered at a school...

Trading certainly isn't bad if one can make a living. If trading is 'bad' then leaving my job 20 years ago to trade was bad? I/we can live anywhere we want. I can trade WHEN I want. I have 100% control over each and every day. Most will fail often due to lack of discipline, trading too large...

Simulated trades can often give a prospective trader overly generous fills leading to a higher degree of confidence than might be justified. Back in the old days when I first started, depending on the stock I was trading (with the simulator I used for 2 weeks) I'd knock either 1/16 or an 1/8 off...

I started in 1996. For one to last longer term you have to adapt to the conditions. Over the past 20 years I've used TA for a while, traded Bloomberg/CNBC 'stories' as they broke, traded based on fundamentals. But my best, and most used strategy, is to trade stocks I 'know'. Trading them over...

I post on things I have personal experience with .. and everything I've posted on Odumbocare impact on myself, my wife and others I know is 100% factual. But those in denial like Ricter and douche bag never are willing to address FACTS. And db couldn't debate a 8 year old and win. One reason I...

Hey dumb shit ... I have better things to do that write letters to the editor. Sorry but the WSJ contacted me and interviewed me for 1/2 hour, wrote their piece, ran it by me for accuracy and it was published the next day. Rather than deal with the many failures of Odumbocare you try to...

Then you understand how to avoid FACTS! Thanks for confirming that. Advice: Don't post articles with bullets that can be refuted and proven 100% wrong.

Yeah, I'll give an idiot like you the link .. so you can know my name, where I live. First I suggest you learn to speak proper English. And if DB Garland wants to wager $500K (since he liked your post) that the WSJ did in fact interview me and include me in the article I'll take that wager...

Sorry, I'm not going to give you and other lunatics a chance to stalk me.

Wrong yet again ... healthy people who had high deductible policies are seeing even HIGHER deductibles under Odumbocare and are FORCED to buy coverages they cannot EVER use. I know a LOT of people who had increases of over 100%. So don't try putting words in my mouth or making false statements...

Yeah, right .. considering one degree I have is in Stats.

Just like with anything if one shops around they can find a better price year to year if their rates increase too much. Over the last 10 years prior to our tripling of our premiums under Odumbo we went up a total of 5.2% which is about 1/2% per year. So 5.2% for 10 years and then a 192% increase...

1) Wrong! Nobody wants to buy it? Hmmm I know quite a few who didn't want to buy it, myself included. When your premiums triple for inferior coverage there's not a person on this earth who would want it. 2) And what is the enrollment goal? But I guess putting a gun to people's heads and telling...

Some people like douche bag live in the past. Heck Judy Garland is long gone but he still drools over her.

Ahhh but that would be racist to say such ...... (although true based on statistics)

Why do you post stupid things not once but twice? Is it to let all of ET know your ignorance? Sorry DBgarland but there is a ton of waste in the government and plenty could be cut. If you read more than Salon & HuffPost you'd get some facts.
