Don't give the shrewd investors and insiders too much credit. These lucky folks comprise less than 0.001% of those that lost their shirts. Pretty much EVERYONE got clobbered when the bubble burst and trillions of dollars of wealth evaporated into the stratosphere. If you want to make money...

Awesome, Vinny! ESPECIALLY on such a shitty day (for longs of course).

Can you still make good money trading that way writing so many tickets? It only takes one or two wrong trades to wipe out alot of your gains, especially when you trade in 2000 or 4000 share lots for dimes.

Some of this is from The Day Trader's Guide to Technical Analysis by Chris Lewis: The RSI oscillator smooths out price jumps which may distort simple momentum oscillators. RSI is also helpful in measuring things on a scale from 0 to 100. Regular momentum oscillators have no fixed scale...

Seven, Your verbal diarrhea and pathetic, whiny efforts to vindicate your posts display a needy personality desperately in search of attention and approval. Your alleged "super successful secret to trading" was nothing but Chicken Soup for the Soul platitudes and feel good generalities...

SuperEgo Quiz: If a stock is bid 5.38 by 6.22 at what price will you (try to) enter the market? None. It's a piece of crap, illiquid small stock that's not worth my time. However, if a gun was pointed at my head I'd buy on the bid during a pullback. Do you know what forces drive the...

She's got a lot of time on her hands. It's better than going to malls and spending all of her boyfriend's money!

The only successful scalpers I know are the ones trading lower volume NYSE stocks for relatively small shares (400-1000 shares). They are not even "true" scalpers because they use technical analysis a lot for high probability entry points. The ones who scalp NASDAQ stocks are only making big...

Glad you made P&L on WCOME. Now you just have to cover the commissions from churning 10K share blocks for pennies!
