"Random walk theory was invented by college professors to explain why they can't beat the market average at cocktail parties" RW

Started out the day flat outside of my swing trades. I even went to bed early last night which is unusual but after my all nighter with the hong kong exchange the night before I was ready for a full six hours. I was told in the chat room by another trader that uses IB that MAPP was now...

Hello QQQBall, thanks for saying so. its been a mental challenge to say the least going into work everyday to dig out. Just finished a nice MAPP trade so I think I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Best to you Robert

They haven't even gone INTO bankruptcy yet. Hard to imagine GM leaving BK before July. I would go so far as to say AUG would be lightning fast. to the OP, There are a couple of things that I could think of that would upset the apple cart for you (I have been looking to do the same thing)...

The countdown continues with the race of time between the month and my PnL I traded the hong kong futures last night and while I made a little money it proved to me once again its not worth it. At least not the way I trade it. Very frustrated with IB not having MAPP shares to short. The...

Only four days left in the month and I am wanting to end it on a good note. I started the day looking at what was moving and also looking at oil. Its appearing to me that oil has a lot more upside potential than downside and while I don’t see energy prices going higher in Asia due to a...

I trade with IB and they are .0035 +/- ECN from share one and then after 300K they drop down to .002 +/- ECN and other SEC fees etc... Once I go over 300K shares for the month my trades are basically free after ECN rebates. They have even lower rates for higher volumes but as I do around...

Carry over with UHS went well. Covered too early but still a good trade. Had only three more trades and one of them is a swing short via options on ASIA. UHS + 980 TECD B6, + 302 INTU B6, +820 thanks to Aces in the chat room I was able to get one trade off in after hours trading...

Started out the day flat but that didn’t last long. Gold was up strongly today and that brought the mining stocks to higher levels. Too high at times in fact as it gave me some nice shorts. I kept my share size small as I was getting a lot of signals very early on and didn’t want to be...

Pretty good day.

My small carry over from yesterday with DDS worked out ok. I did expect to get more out of DDS but it found support and I found the exit. It appears the timing was good too as I covered within a few pennies of the LOD The rest of the day was interesting as several stocks really caught on...

Hello QQQ, I am SOOO glad we have spell checking in the world now. I know what you mean about having an opinion on a stock. We have to have one to make any money but when we are dead wrong it sure doesnt feel good. Best to you sir. Robert
