    I don't understand why wouldn't I treat the firm's money as my own capital. I am doing this as a career and if I don't make money I don't eat. As far as saying, oh he acted better because it is NOT his money, I am scratching my head. Dottom, I think you have to strive to be as...

    Accidentally hit submit before I can finish my thought. I just wanted to say that it was totally my fault that I had this $1000 loser because 1. I got in because somebody told me that the stock is going to spread and to go for a bounce. STUPID. 2. I never traded the stock before and I...

    Candle, You are a 100% correct, the reason why I went in SLM is because of group mentality (with the other guy on my team ) and I knew that SLM got upgraded today. I know even with a big seller, the stock will hold or at least will not get killed like it did. When he spreaded the stock and...

    CAL $94 9:37, B$30.20 10:21, S$30.41 What a slow mover this stock was, it actually went up to 50c, before going all the way to $30.00, I didn't sell the first time it went there because XAL was really strong there is no reason for the stock to be down or not moving. I sold it after it went...

    I am happy to see that we all have something to contribute. Thanks y'all. I have used the 10 minutes chart patterns, moving average as my guide to exit and it had worked wonders. I haven't really used it at all after I started trading 500 shares because psychologically I don't feel as...

    luv -$51 xal ripped at the open and I lost money on this stock??? My mistake got in too soon, and in a thick stock like this I am just asking to be shaken out!! Got filled at 9:34 at $18.53. There was a 10000 bid at 52c, 53c printed for 10000 shares, and I should have know that cleans out the...

    Does anyone have a specific strategy or method that have helped them take a big chunk out of a winner? Which is very important because all it takes is a couple of big winners a day to make it worthwhile. I think one of the ways is not to watch the tape too much, (which is hard for me to...

    UAL -$6 One of the right stock that I got into today and not many of the right that I got in for that matter. XAL ripped right at the open because of some bad news in the oil sector. Got filled at $13.60, the stock went as high as 66c, before the sector started to come in and I got out at...

    CAM -$96 Walked right into this one. OSX ripped at the open and then 10 minutes later tanked as hard as it did last Friday, all hell broke loose as there was no bids to hit. Got filled at $41.29 at 9:37, it was probably a bad entry as there was no bid anywhere and when I saw the offer being...

    EOG $109 The stock opened unchanged and went down a little bit below the open. XNG started to tick up and I got the stock at $38.93, after a big bid of 13600 showed up at 81c. It went as high as 21c before a 11400 offer showed up at 21c. Just hit the bid right away as I did not want to risk a...

    LSI $34 Bought this on the second print!! Never did this before lol. Got filled at $15.60, I thought the stock would move in sympathy with AMD revising guidance, but unfortunately the stock did not go much higher than 80c, got out at 70c for a 10c scalp, which is what the stock is good for...
