The key thing I'm always looking for is relative strength, so I go through the market and everytime it pulls back I'm trying to find the strongest technical stocks out there. When it rallies I try to find the names that don't play along. I do this with sectors also, then look for the best/worst...

Yes, you only learn to trade by trading.

I've not read ahead, so forgive me if this has already been pointed out. ByLoSellHi has averaged posting 6.56 posts per day on ET since the day he signed up, while Maverick has averaged to post 2.84 times per day on average since the day he signed up. I have averaged 1.56 so your both ET geeks...

To a point. I mean I can believe that my ass isnt killing me from having a bone marrow test but that doesnt change the fact that it's pretty sore :) If your no good at technicals obviously you should look at either a fundamental or quantative approach so that you do find an edge. Each of us...

Johnson and Johnson is one of the best looking stocks in the entire market right now, definatly agree with that. As to your thoughs that the economy could stand in the way of JNJ doing well, typically in a bearish economy drug stocks are one of the safest places to have your money. If you look...

I have a cousin who has been involved in selling merchandise of sorts on Craigslist for some time. I'd have to tell you that most of the girls don't have the money, the pimps do, and if you lose the pimps money he is likely to kill you, no matter how hard you try to inform him of the risks...

I do not know what you consider the long run, however I've making money since 1998 and am very happy. I dropped out of college with 16 credits, almost all in political science, communications and history. The most advanced math class I have taken is HS calc.

I think the same thing, if you look at prices on Utilities and Bonds they are saying the same thing as well.

It does not appear that it has all that many advantages for you, that doesn't mean it has not got any for someone else.

I was unaware that they had any to lose.

I've watched this thread for some time and enjoyed it having used P*F charts for a long time as the final confirmation of trades I'm, help me establish targets and stay with trends. I've not wanted to comment though because the thread has gone so well and I don't want to bring anything negative...

Well that's no good for the fools in Washington. They always want the simple solution that they can sell to the average idiot. The real solution would require a lot of effort and for the parties to work together on something.

Tah Dah! This is what the idiots are not taking into account, but as someone else said in an earlier post they have to make a "gesture" to voters, show us that they care!

He wanted to know how to be 100% sure of getting in on the opening print, if you know of another way feel free to let us know.

If your trading on the NYSE send in a market order to the specialist.

I don't know about the engulfing pattern, I never got too much into candlesticks, but I do suspect that an important top is in place for the crude markets, maybe even "the" top. Longer term I'd expect oil to start trading in a range of $70/$100 per barrel.

I'm sure that a lot of people have lost money following his calls, but I think that you would find that to be the case even if someone like Steve Cohen was to provide a service such as Waxie's. The simple fact of the matter is that most people don't have a clue as to what the hell they are...

In the book Street Smarts, Linda Raschke and Larry Connors talk about trading the news from page 131 to 147. They spend more time on the news than on any other situational type and for good reason.For my money news trades provide some of the easiest and most consistent profits of any setup out...

I'm going to choose to believe PTF, I have nothing to lose by doing it and nothing he has said so far stands out. In fact he is one of the few people I've ever seen to point out the dangers you might be putting yourself in when your returns run TOO HIGH, he talks much more about risk than...

The crooks and mobsters are the ones running Fannie and Freddie. They cooked the books so bad they could not even issue a straight quarterly EPS for years.
