Heh...great analogy. FWIW, I knew when I met my wife that I wanted to marry her. Been with her for almost half my life now.

Thanks for the note. I'm just real curious where you got the idea that I'm undisciplined. Did my post give that impression? Because I'm a noob? Is it the real estate? I put them in fixed notes and they stay rented...no complaints there. Regards, SM

Please explain that money in the bank concept. This is foreign to me. :)

Alright guys, thanks for the advice, the reality checks, etc. I think from a broad overview, there are only so many parameters associated with stocks. I mean, you have your change in volume, change in price, change in average price, ending close, change from open to close, etc.,etc. The...

Here is one of my graphs for FAS. I also have one for when the price action tops You can see the little green arrows at the bottom of the graph saying when to buy. Hopefully the graph isn't so busy you can't see the price action. You will note that there are re-iterated "buy" signals...

Mike, You did come off sounding a little harsh and I responded to that. Maybe I was a little over the top. A couple of points for you to consider. I started this thread because I knew that I was getting carried away in my own mind on flights of fancy. I'm aware this may not work...

Mike, I did. I did appreciate your feedback. And I did sign up with stockfetcher.com and taught myself backtesting. I then started tweaking. I swapped out some of those indicators, and also added in bollinger bands to better assist me in seeing the turn. I then back tested it against...

Great answers guys! I really appreciate it! BigB's response above really hits home because that is where I am now. I have a new way of doing things that is about 10 times more profitable than was I was doing before. Its got me a little weirded out. But if I can get used to it, and it grows...

I've been working at it for almost a year and then 3 weeks ago, I had a Eureka moment. Since then, error free trading. I've made more money in the last 10 days than I made in the previous 3 months...which still isn't a lot of money, but I'm hoping compounding will be a good friend to me...

A hypothetical question. Suppose you use a method where you made 2% profit every day and you started with an account of $10,000. So on your first day, you made $200. Using the rule of 72's, after 36 days, you were making $400 a day. Another 36 days later, you're making $800 a day, and so on...

Ok. None taken. Yes, I'm a swing trader. Same thing, but bigger cycles. Less trades, but (hopefully), more money per trade. I think I could apply the same techniques to a shorter time span. SM

Pretty sure I did too.

Dude, are you a troll? I was agreeing with the poster who said the market has topped. I agree and have made a trade accordingly...I bought TZA and a little FAZ. I've made $$$ so far today and I expect it to continue for a while. You know, you might pick up some good tips here if you...

A visionary. A man among men..

I iknow how to fix it. Cut government spending and simultaneously cut the taxes by the same amount. People will have more money in their pockets and it will be a less hostile environment for business, spurring additional business investment which would create demand for the dollar. I'll...

Concur! And even if he sells the $3 million house, pays taxes on the profits, and pays off the note, he's still holding cash worth about what half a house costs. I'll take that for free. Might be nice seed money to move to Australia. When is it not a good idea to borrow money at 8% and earn...

We are in an up market. I'm thinkng the general markets have another 3% to 5% to go before they begin to turn down...new highs be damned. I feel like I killed Rimm's run because it dropped more than $1 after I washed my hands of it's ascent. It could make another run toward the $65 mark...

OK, half of what I said has come true. Now we'll see if it runs out of gas.

Alexander, He was kidding. So was I. Thanks none-the-less. SM
