hounddog - thanks for your post. it's quite timely - i succumbed, ordered my hotbrick, and got it yesterday. was going to install it and then report back; now, i'm debating whether to head down to nyc or not (65 degree weather in the metro area). i'll report back after i've got installed...

actually, max, i've run studies on cramer. i no longer have them because they're not relevant, for the most part, to me making money. his performance on picks - on virtually every level - does NOT differ substantially from the indices. i'm not cherry picking stuff EITHER way. he didn't...

sure. http://www.thestreet.com/_tscs/funds/smarter/891820.html And if I had my druthers, I wouldn't own any other stocks in the year 2000

a friend blipped me this link with no comment, and i said "nah, i'm not going to post there". but i changed my mind. anyhow...i've been shorting top % gainers - most times intraday, sometimes a couple day short. the initial impetus had been going around in my head for more than 10 years...

hey max - that doesn't explain why his action alerts portfolio has only matched the market over the last 6 years. or why it underperformed the market last year. actually, the posts above for cramer's predictions are right on target. he's no more or less accurate for the long haul than a...

e savant - how do you handle if you both have down days / period of down days? is it the comfort of another trader, or...? my wife doesn't trade, but understands some of the basic ideas (sell when people are buying, the crowd is wrong, she loved watching the 'cnbc effect' a few years ago)...

quick question: does anyone have a problem with the Hotbrick LB-2 dual wan router? my setup: at-home trader with cable modem, will be adding DSL soon. do NOT trade futures, or the big plays like CSCO/DELL/IBM/etc. i'm primarily a daytrader, most trades last between 30 minutes and 2 hours...

1)How easy is it to short stocks above $5 with mid to large daily trade volumes. all depends on the brokerage, your definition of mid/large, and the float / amount of shares already short. for example, MAMA is nearly impossible to short now. OSTK has been a difficult short for a long time...

i thought the wyckoff / rollo tape / humphrey neill books were useful. they're 70+ years old, but the reprints are inexpensive - i think around 10-12$ each? they're NOT the first books, or second books, or anything like that which you should get. and as the previous poster stated, what was...

i downloaded the new version of TWS last week. however, when it comes up now my firewall asks if i want to allow ipconfig each time. i believe that ipconfig can renew/release the IP address of my pc... so my question is: -> does anyone else have this happen? -> if so, why? if i deny...

a few years ago when 1k was the 'nice' price on the 19". i got the samsung syncmaster 191t. they've been wonderful, and needless to say, the price has crashed on them.

his hedge fund was quite successful when he was there. that doesn't mean he's done well trading SINCE then - his action alerts portfolio at best tracks the averages, and his mad money calls are the equivalent of a monkey throwing at a dartboard, esp. since he doesn't use stops - but his hedge...

1) not impossible. depending on size of account, not a problem to do; i keep a small account, and do it often. 2) because the person wouldn't sell it - they can make more money TRADING it than selling it. 3) i wasn't 'born with a fat account' either. i traded up from less than 10k. 100%...

from memory, what he says is correct. i believe (and since i can't 100% remember it, i'm putting that caveat there) that i did the following: placed a hidden order at .xx2c got filled for part. a VISIBLE order went in at .xx2 trades went there, and his size was reduced. none of...

google/yhoo/iaci/cnet together all complained about it. island only charges for the bookviewer, level 2. i don't agree with that, but it still for the normal investor or trader is not a big deal. the archipelago one, as i've detailed elsewhere (and also included in my letter to the sec)...
