If I apply Jesse Livermore's method (Livermore Market Key) to Humana stock price then I conclude the stock price is (as of Friday November 10, 2006) in an upward trend.

Google.com shows Texas Instruments symbol TXN income rising, equity about unchanged. Market capitalization is big, about US $ 43 billion. It is hard for something big to double in size. Yahoo.com shows no insider buying in the open market. If the people that know most about the business do not...

I see a Cramer ad at starmagazine.com. Oh Britney is getting divorced by the way. Reese Witherspoon too.

It helps to test a plan to see if it shows a profitable outcome. I find a Bollinger Band trading method performs well with SNDK stock price data. Using 2 standard deviations, 200 day moving average and 1 % risk my computer program shows a growth rate of about 32 percent per year and greatest...

My trading plan development effort might proceed like this: 1) Choose something to trade. 2) Choose a purchase price. 3) Choose how much to buy. 4) Choose how much I am willing to lose. 5) Choose a price or criteria to sell. 6) Commit to following my rules. I might test my...

In his book "How To Trade In Stocks" Jesse Livermore writes about losing a lot of money in the Florida land boom. Thanks for posting the article. I am surprised to learn Florida property sold at such a high price about year 1926.

Yahoo.com shows SNDK equity increasing but I can not judge income. I observe yearly income increasing but quarterly income might be in a range. Yahoo.com shows 196 million shares outstanding. I suspect stocks that have less than 100 million shares might show greater price change. More...

I remember selling WFMI yesterday. I only hold stocks that show rising prices. If WFMI price rallys again then I plan to buy.

I consider RAMR price to be in an upward trend. Public trading history is about six months. Google finance web page shows income increasing and equity increasing. Yahoo.com shows six executives and four institutions that hold more than 10 % of the stock making direct stock purchases May 2006...

I observe that CROX has a 9 month trading history, the price trend might be upward, income is growing, earnings growing. The company makes shoes. The business appears to be growing rapidly. Jeff Vinik appears to be a major stockholder. http://finance.google.com/finance?q=crox&hl=en I...

http://finance.google.com/finance?q=IHG I like the Google finance page. I think the information is well organized onto one page. The price chart zooms in and out, there is a list of other companies in the same industry group, summary income sheet, summary balance sheet, company news releases...

Steve, the demo trading account is very important. You can observe the results of placing buy and sell orders and the price changes using the demo account. You might also find that simple trading rules can work. It might be wise to keep a notebook of different ideas that you are...

They make money from the spread between the bid and ask price.

I remember trading on a smaller scale to test a new system in real time, real securities, with real money. I do not expect to make money with small scale trading. Small scale trading familarizes me with the behavior of the system. I learn by backtesting a system that making significant...

Down. I suspect traders and investors do not trust new congresses. My interpretation is nobody knows what the congresspeople are going to do, so traders sell stocks and invest in money market or CD's.

TYX is a yield index. Yield curves are inverted compared to the bond price curve. The yeild curve does show yield rising above the downtrend line of 6 years, since year 2000. Rising yield = falling bond price.

Do you mean CRB futures (Commodity Research Bureau Index futures?). I recall the problem with the CRB index is that there is an upper limit (about 20 %) to the weighing of any component. I recall reading that about July 2006 crude oil, in terms of total US dollar trade represents about 70 % of...

No one can predict the future. I do not use scenarios or fundamental analysis to guide my trading. I seek to know nothing and have no opinion. If price increases then I buy. If price decreases then I sell. I risk 1 % of equity on each trade. I sometimes make up stories that fit the...

What is your opinion on copper?

You do not write if you are interested in long term or short term but I assume if you refer to year 2005 that your interest is long term. The monthly futures chart of US 30 year treasury bonds shows price deceasing to less that the values of a long term trend line. I suspect lower bond...
