    Micron Technologies (MU) SHORT Today the markets, led by the semiconductor sector and the Nasdaq market surged higher. However, MU sat on its ass all day and could not really put anything together. It was the weakest stock in the Semi Conductor Sector and has broken its uptrending daily...

    Take it up with the Chicago Board of Trade and Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Their bylaws state that you have to be 21 to trade with them, or at least a few years ago they did. I can certainly see your point in thinking it sucks, I definatly though it sucked when I was 18. But trading is not a...

    Mental Ceilings and self fulfilling prophesies

    I think a lot of people settle for a less then they could make and then justify it by saying that is all you can do. It is scary to commit 100% to anything, to go all out and give it your all. And I think people have a fear that if they have this higher goal and after having given it their all...

    Is daytrading easier now than a year ago?

    Exactly. Even in the "Glory days" of 1999/2000 people bitched and moaned how hard the market had gotten and oh how they wish we could go back to the good old days. Most traders lose, and so by definition the market is hard for them. Brandon

    Poll!! Dawn of a New Bull?

    uhm, I didnt say anything about going forward. In fact the only thing I have said about going forward is Typically speaking we will get strong market activity into earnings season, however we have not had that this quarter. This to me is a sign of weakness. Also economic numbers continue to come...

    Poll!! Dawn of a New Bull?

    Typically speaking we will get strong market activity into earnings season, however we have not had that this quarter. This to me is a sign of weakness. Also economic numbers continue to come in bad and there is no new investment by business to speak of. Until that occurs I doubt we will see a...

    Mental Ceilings and self fulfilling prophesies

    If your strategy was making 2 points a day on 1 lots, but when you go up to 2 lots and you now only make 3 points a day all you have really accomplished is to increase your risk by 100% and your profit by only 50%. That does not sound like a very good idea to me. One would be best served to not...

    PM *pop* or poop??

    Holy Chit. I was definatly expecting a rally into the close. Tons of really nice bases, the market held great over noon, then SPLAT. The only thing that saved me is that even when Im 100% bullish I still scan for weak stocks as a sort of hedge and I came across QLGC which I got short at 43.83...
