i have learned TONS on msg boards and the internet. obviously, there's a lot of stuff to wade through. and i don't mean stuff like "buy stock ABC, it's going to the moon" but technical stuff, people's psychological stuff, etc. - there's an amazing amount of information out there...

ko's sort of screwed now because he has a guaranteed pump into any stock he recos, and his buys tend to be worse than others for that very reason. i preferred it when his picks would go up a little more on the first day, set up a great short opp. but too many people caught on too fast...

thanks for the person who posted the link way back on the hybrid, how it works, etc. or, rather, how it was explained in the webcast. i turned on the tv last night at 7, had left it on cnbc from earlier, and saw they had a brief thing about the daytraders are back! and some dope...

thank you for your response. you might want to read his book - in addition to it being a good book, it provided the impetus for a bona-fide way to make money fading cramer. my 'who knows? who cares' was about how to 'fix' cramer's bad stuff. since you successfully (?) elicited anger...

max, you avoided my question: HAVE you read cramer's book, _confessions_? yes or no. the rest of it: sure, IF cramer did X or did Y, MAYBE he'd be better. maybe not. who knows? who cares? it's one line, 5 years: cramer's record, 24+%. s&p 22%.

max, please stop defending cramer. thanks. He can't even put in a stop. WRONG. he COULD have set up his paramaters to put in a stop. he chooses not to. he "doesn't believe in stops". don't believe that "he doesn't believe in stops"? fine. shut up your ass, and do the...

no, no. this is what ACTUALLY happened. seriously. bob pisani (cnbc guy on the nyse floor) reported that the nyse had fined seven specialists (the amount you mentioned) and they (ppl on the floor) were upset because (paraphrasing from memory) the firms aren't making anywhere near as much...

most of my trades are daytrades. most of daytrades are shorts. there are always opportunity to short - just a matter of picking the right stock, timing, and how much you make (risk/reward). if you have a tight risk, but high % setup, that's all that matters. in a bull market, 'obvious'...

ok...for people who are going to be at the expo, here's a guide to good food places around the area that you can get into. i'm deliberately excluding places like per se, masa, etc. where you've got a minor chance in hell, or most of the other super high end places like wd-50 (which i REALLY...

stockjock - i won't dispute it's entertaining, or his writing and (MOST - not all) of his trading rules are good. i'm only caring about his performance. I'm not defending Cramer's performance. My criticism is about the method of determining that performance. Even now, when most of the...

that's a good article, i like that he's getting references in areas he doesn't know to broaden the exposure. i don't know why he'd be referencing belle & sebastian OR the pixies now; panic @disco, fallout boy would be 'hip' bands. or closer to b&s - damien rice? but then again, i...

i'd LOL at max, but instead i feel like i'm beating my head against a hollow wall. cramer - the only thing he trades, action alerts - jan 1 2002 - dec 1 2006 - was 24.58%. the s&p's performance during that time was 22% that *doesn't* include the action alerts portfolio he scrapped in 2001...

for naz it is: any naz 100 stock. any stock on http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/aspx/regshopilotlist.aspx (i believe) any ETF. (and some others, too). the uptick rule is different on naz and the nyse.

funn historical things from this study: www.haas.berkeley.edu/finance/shortliq.pdf Beginning in October 1931, short sales were prohibited on downticks on the NYSE. Short sales could take place only at zero or plus ticks. For the next six years, there were other added impediments to...

traderich was right; that WAS the reason why it was implemented. the feeling was that the big players could drive a stock to 0 if they wanted, and crash things. it's only taken 70+ years for it (maybe) to get reversed.

thanks hound dog...i've been offline a couple days with a food sickness; i'll try this out today if i have enough energy to wal through stuff. if not, at least i can do it soon; appreciate the response...

i tried to email, but you don't take them. what are are you looking for? please private msg, NOT public..
