    Stop loss dilemma -- to use SL or not to use SL, it's a problem

    You can get by without using SL if trading stocks and then committing at most 3% of your total portfolio on single security. Even if that position is wiped off you have lost 3% maximum unless playing short trade. In futures or margin play, SL is the way to go. I have blown up one account by...

    Tim Sykes

    That means if Sykes has posted good numbers for say last two years, then next year or later, there is no guarantee that he will come out winner again. I have never traded real time with his service so do not know the real facts on how trades are held out.

    Tim Sykes

    Dude, I am not pushing for Sykes but telling only what I know. Not his client due to difference in trading styles. Pink sheet penny stocks are not my ride. The guy posts his trades real time, which not many others do. The results have been good. Not saying that they can't turn bad later...

    Tim Sykes

    I think he is a real deal when it comes to making money. But his style is too risky, like playing penny stocks that too on the 'pump and dump' list. Also other penny stocks that can move mighty on a news etc. Not too many folks out there make money consistently like Sykes does. A...

    Does your PC sit in open air environment............meaning the fan that keeps the PC internals cool, is not blocked by anything like books, or wall or anything that does not let the warm air exit easily.
