Actually I am not holding any oil right now. I will watch it close in the premarket monday, though. I am thinking GUSH will go up a good bit but like you guys say, you just never know.

To be perfectly honest, I have never even seen it done. I HEARD <ahem> that when you push on the cow it just leans toward you and spreads its feet out for stability and one man can't possibly do it alone. Or else Bossy simply sidesteps with the push, rather than be tipped. Plus, cows can be a...

That song got me into more than one sweet thaing back in the day.

Moi? Surely you could never think such a thing.

Popularity of an OS or apps that run on it is mostly driven by marketing, not by quality or security.

Most of you college boys don't know what cow tipping is. Incorrigably Redneck Me, I know what it is, though personally I don't see what the point of it might be, at least while sober and above the age of 19. Google it. Anyway what I am going to bring everyone's attention to, will not sit well...

Or, if you prefer, the 20 minute version:

Thanks. I will be back day trading at some point, but I need some time away from the screen and time to think about some things and put together not so much strategy, as tactics. I got strategies. I am just not always doing them right. The hardest decision is whether to ride it out, or bail out...

Awwwwww I didn't see that tip, Van. Darn. Got to check this thing more often. I do appreciate the tip, though and I am fixing to see what Amazin AMZN did today. Anyway ended up with a devastating loss today. I now regard myself as a temporarily failed day trader in recovery LOL! Seriously, if I...

ARGHHH!!!! Pre-cappuccino trading. Botched entry started me out on a 27 cent loss. Noobs reading this, see the little blue dash marking my entry? In a trend, always let the stock approach the mean. The center lane, if you will. Or wherever in recent history it pulls back to, in its minor...

VBA is mostly restricted to the WinDOHs universe. Outside of that, it is useless. I strongly suggest getting into Python. It is cross platform and very extendable, and very simple to learn the basics. Even a basic GUI is easy, with the right tools, such as tkinter or pyqt. Alternately, go in for...

So why do you think day trading will be any easier?

I lied. Went back in. Ended up +$382 at the closing bell. Holding overnight again. I wasn't feeling the love for oil so no Gush but I did take a small position in NBL cause it is such a cool company and has some nice resources, and has often been outperforming the sector. GF works for Shell so...

Do you wash them, or just have Amazon deliver new ones?

Okay I'll take that. I was up to $640 at 1030. Learning to quit while I'm ahead. I have figured out I need to just cancel all stops on stocks in the morning while the big boys are selling off large positions. You would think that it would be possible to buy on the 2 or 3 second dip, but...

To double your account in 240 trading days, you need to clear a profit of 0.2892% every day. A bit more than a third of a percent. But EVERY DAY. And plow all profits back into trading. We trade for a living. If I have a $40k account and I make $144.60 on the first trading day and the same...

21" monitor is the home screen for TWS. The 32" monitor just has 5 chart windows, a bunch of thumbnail charts, and an order thingie. The thumbnails are especially nice to keep an eye on TVIX and TQQQ/SQQQ. I can also park a trade in one of the thumbnails if it doesn't require my eyes on it all...

Not too shabby, huh? A good day's work. For tinight I am holding GUSH, HRL, NBL, WSFS. GO, OIL! HRL? Hey, everybody gotta eat, right?
