There seem to be a lot of beginners on ET posting stories about their failure to becoming traders. If you build on a few basic rules it really isn't that hard: 1. Don't try to be an innovator... keep it simple! 2. Start with a strategy that blends investing and trading (i.e. stay away...

Aha, are which books would you recommend I read so that I may cease making "ignurant commints". :D ET actually has a spell checker. Misspelling the word 'ignorant'... now that is a great example of self-reference if I've ever seen one. :p There used to be a time when not every cracker...

This still does not explain why they are correlated. Even if all of their earnings are going through the roof, they would still be different and if there were a direct correlation between earnings and stock prices, each stock would look a bit different (but all would still be going long).

Exactly! keep it simple. As Mr. Lane said, "the trend is your friend". You can also add MANT to the list. I think you'll like that stock. POT, MON, CF, MOS are also trending but could undergo a correction if oil continues to correct. I usually use slow/fast stochastics and the 65 and 200 MAs.
