    longer term shopping list....

    Elie, I do agree with you, but I was not about to post names that only trade 50k shares on this board. I have spent the majority of my time on those names looking for a few that we can gunn though. I'm not gonna post my decisions here though. Sorry.... But I recommend that everyone looks at some...

    longer term shopping list....

    Some might call this unamerican, but I have a few short ideas as well. I would look to DIS- There wasn't a chance in hell they'd make the numbers before.... Now, ABC hasn't ran a commercial in a week, and no one wants to get blown to bits at the magic kingdom, and no one will fly there anyway...

    longer term shopping list....

    I've thought almost a week about this now, and here's what I have. ------------------------------- NYC and Northern NJ REITS- Unfortunately, upside is probably 30% at most, but there is now a decent shortage of office space, and rental rates are bound to go up significantly. I would look to...

    longer term shopping list....

    For a longer term aspect (which is rare for me) I think we should start a serious discussion of those sectors (stocks) that we should look into. The us economy has just been drastically changed, and the federal government is guaranteed to spend hundreds of billions in an effort to combat...

    Trading strategy Mon Sept 17th

    I would definately stick to ecn's only, if you're not dat, don't even bother tomorrow..... If you are trading nyse, I think tomorrow will be an ideal day for market orders though. There is likely to be huge island crossover, and you can pick dimes at will. I personally, will let it shake hard...

    using news - general

    This is how to use news.... DON"T!!! It's too hard to figure it out, there are too many crosscurrents, too much to figure out. It's almost always better to let other people figure it out and you can just follow supply/demand like a good trader.

    **Patriots First...Traders Second**

    Well... I'm patriotic I guess, cause I'm waiting for them to open this market down huge so I can buy a ton of it....

    Overseas Markets and early indications

    I agree with candletrader. They destroy one of our cities, we should destroy 20+ of theirs. Just like when we blindly bombed civilian targets of no military value in wwII, just b/c they were there and had bombed allied cities first..... Just my 2 and probably unpopular cents.....

    trading is at doubt for this week

    I really regret my inability to buy american adr's on foreign exchanges. I saw that msft was down like 7+ and a few other "faves" were down 10-20% overseas. Those are ideal prices. I honestly think that my 33.25 buys will be wrong on qqq, but my 32.5 ones are gonna be flat. I'm upsed I booted my...

    trading is at doubt for this week

    I really assume that this market beating will not be too bad. I was honestly upset that they closed island. I had sold some qqq's at 31.7, and had hoped to buy em back a half lower. I think that around there, is a safe level. I assume we don't trade til monday. The longer we wait, the less...

    Terrorist Attack on World Trade Center NY

    WOW....WOW!!!! I hope everyone on this board is ok..... I don't know about the markets... I started to nibble on q's and msft. I booted all msft.... And I have 1900 qubes left. Looks like I'm down huge eh? WOW!! There is no contingency plans for this I guess. I guess just no overnights. Thank...

    How are YOU making money in this market?

    Babak, funny thing on coco, is you probably made way more than me by shorting it, but I've picked almost 7 pts net to the long side in the last 5 days on 3 trades. Different styles, but both successful results. I'm presonally just playing the bounces. Unfortunately, the bounces lately aren't...

    Fighting the unwinable fight.....?

    I agree, going long doesn't seem that smart, but as a trader, I'm trying to game the little nuances of the market while we are definately in a strong downtrend. When the market goes down, I buy, when it goes lower, I buy more. I think shorting at such an oversold level is wrong (unless you think...

    Fighting the unwinable fight.....?

    Does anyone else here feel like they're fighting a monster that's just too big lately. I wake up this morning with the dow futs off over 100 pts and the sp's down 14 and change. Of course I'm pretty long overnight. After last week's carnage, you'd think that a monday gap up would be gamable...

    How to start a hedge fund?

    This is probably a dumb question... but do I need a series 7 to be a hedge fund manager?

    Trading conditions

    that's why I don't use stops. Lower prices mean more upside potential. If you want to trade like I do, you really have to spend a long time at it with much smaller positions. It is really contrary to everything that every good trading bootk or common sense teaches you.

    Trading conditions

    Rough day for me. Look at q. That massive block and subsequent volume bar really got my interest. I charged in with 20k shares, and gave it a 20c stop or so. Guess I was that guy who got stopped out. Lost about 7k yesterday, 13k on the week. I think it is rather hard to be picking at bottoms...

    Low volume stocks, real moves?

    Candletrader- My mythology is as follows: I was created by the gods and sent back from a future century for one and only one purpose.... To take money from the large institutions and make things right. The gods had grown tired or the large wall st. guys making all the loot, and I was created as...
