Are there particular sources you use to find the time of release?

In the couple of chapters I've read this book has already taught me a lot. I feel like learning from books and other traders is a great supplement to studying charts. Strictly studying charts seems overwhelming and I'm afraid it can lead to me making costly generalizations. This book has a lot...

It sounds like you like to avoid companies that are in the news and want to focus on stocks that are just moving with the rest of the market. I can imagine big news throwing off trends. I'm not sure how quickly this happens though.

Would you say you use nothing, but technical analysis? I'm new to trading. I just bought a book on technical analysis, Technical Analysis: The Complete Resource for Financial Market Technicians. I'm only through chapter 2, but the author says technical analysts believe that price "discounts"...

I bought Technical Analysis: The Complete Resource for Financial Market Technicians. It's like a textbook and I'm only through chapter 2. I want to read a chapter a day and do all the questions. It seems like a good book and my only complaint so far is that I wish it had an answer key for the...

For those who watch nothing do you think newspapers are useless as well?

Don't you think there is some important news out there that you need to know and can affect the markets a lot? For example, a merger, terrorist attack, bankruptcy, fraud, etc.

In my opinion CNBC has too much crap on it. I want to watch something that only gives me the news during the day. There's too many people giving opinions like that old guy who looks like something's up his butt at 1:00 and that crazy dude on the trading floor. It's like a 3-ring circus. The...

CNBC, FOX Business, Bloomberg, Nothing? What do people like to watch to keep an eye on big information that might be affecting the market? How about newspaper? WSJ, FT, nothing, or something else?

Thanks.

Not well. Haha. I think I've applied every place I could in NYC and haven't heard back yet, but I'll keep looking. I may have to apply to firms in Chicago and London. Though I'm not sure any of the London firms take US citizens.

Wasn't this thread like 45 pages? Why were so many posts deleted?

Forward me the list Satan's Helper.

Can't argue with this post, because it's too intellectually complex for me to understand. From now on I will accept that I am a state school simpleton who must bow down to the Ivy League elites. Maybe one day one will even let me wipe their ass for them.

Thanks, this looks like really good advice.

Perhaps, I just try to make better use of my time. I don't think it's in my best interest to spend a lot of time reading technical information from someone who has very mixed respect. He's definitely quite the character.

You're correct, you didn't, and this post you're quoting didn't say you did either. I'm not sure why you posted this. Was it just a reading comprehension error? What you were doing in your previous post was making an assumption without any conclusive information and stating it as fact. What I...

Except for the losing traders who simply use blind faith, don't all traders use mathematical principals? Some prefer to use recall and their mathematical intuition. Others prefer to write complex mathematical algorithms using more precise data. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

I should note that the notable exception to this is any post by Jack Hershey. Perhaps he has the 200 IQ and that's why I don't understand him. They are also way too long so I just ignore them.

I've had people attack me in threads only to PM me and say...look I know I was being tough, but this is a tough world and then actually give me solid advice. I don't really understand it. I'm not interested in whose the toughest guy on these forums. I just want to learn as much as I can so I can...
