    Question to trader who really trade?

    My opinion is that most traders fail because they are undercapitalized. I have seen many people who give up when they get very near to the breakeven point b/c they have nothing left for the final push to breakeven. Second largest reason is just that most traders come into the game without...

    CME IPO of the day !

    That was my thinking. I heard from sources that quite a few cme guys were pissed at their allocations and were going to buy in the open market. It was only 4.7m shares. I really loaded up my account in a major way at 39. I started scaling out on the way up. Too bad I sold my last 2500 at 42. I...

    THC- crying in our beer

    We start in 3 weeks. I'm psyched. Still have all my thv. I'm disappointed by their warning last month. Insiders keep on buying. I bought it with enough margin of error for me to feel confident. I want to see how the first 2 quarters next year go. I think that their complast will be a massive...

    THC- crying in our beer

    WoooHooo... Wooof*ckinhoo....!!! I finally overcame the loss. Took me only 3 weeks to make back the 66k that I was down from THC (and a bit smaller hit in OMG that same day). I'd like to thank all the little stocks that made this possible..... Normally, I'd be content with 70k in gains...

    Is trading really risky?

    Value investing is almost zero risk if the insiders are buying also. Surest thing in the market. Especially if you are buying a company that is cash flow positive, and it's trading at or below net current assets. If you think about your investing, you'll do well. Too many people think very...

    Is trading really risky?

    Trading isn't risky if you know what you're doing. If you work hard at any business, you'll escape those 95% who don't try.

    Todd Harrison is writing again

    I read rmpro. It's ok for the money. Best is Kass. Not sure if he's worth like 300 a month, but I've probably made 5k off his ideas in the last 2 months.

    Trader Taxation / CPA Experiences

    As of right now, I'm filing only in NY and LA. It just so happens that all my partners are from those two states as almost all are relatives/friends. I intend to go to greentradertax every time I get a new partner from a state that I haven't filed in. I don't believe my fee includes any blue sky...

    Mentors

    Your mentor should have a significant account size that a 50k hit like that tyc one won't wipe him out. There are lots of idiots who'll try to teach you with the best of intentions, but you'll just learn how to loose money faster.

    What to do when you get a margin call?

    I get one about every other day from IB. I margin out a lot intraday in my small trading account. They just sell off a hundred shares. Then I buy em back next time one of my stocks upticks. Then they resell that 100 lot when something downticks. I bet they have one guy in the margin dept who's...

    Trader Taxation / CPA Experiences

    I used Greentradertax last year. I was very impressed with their services. I am now using them to set up my hedge fund. I am quite satisfied. I think that they are doing a good job. They are a quality organization, and I had no trouble at all in trusting them with my credit card info. In...

    2002 is about over

    +68% now. Anyone know where I can snag 3200 bp from before the end of the year. That's like 50% in gains in the last 20 odd days. I don't want my tripple digit return streak to end. Any risk free ways to do it?
