Of course, but when are you going to know when you should have that put? Or are you going to have them all of the time and endure that cost?

Stop orders are usually not "totally ineffective" against a shock move. A stock rarely trades @ $100 one second, the $60 the next. Even if your stop gets "blown through", likely still better than riding it all the way down. If you're into "preserving capital while you pursue profit" (as...

Correct on all points! There are only 4 outcomes of any trade... Small gain Small loss Large gain Large loss The only one we can control is "Large loss"... that is, don't allow it to happen!

Disagree. Entitlement is all about "you getting something for nothing that somebody else is forced to pay for". IOW... if you're a hot woman... and men want to shower you with affection and money... that's not entitlement... as they are willingly doing so, not be being forced.

If all of your picks are as good as these, you should be rich by Thursday!

Not a fan of "targets" of any fashion, but that's one way to play it.

Disagree. Bull case "intact" until either "topping guess at exhaustion" or sufficient breakdown. Neither at this time. Or perhaps I'm reading your post incorrectly.... are you saying "buy to close" on a short position? If so, the short was wrong and still probably is.

Looking at the price chart... IMV says, "no bear case to be made right here".

Any play you make needs to turn out to have been correct for you to benefit... including offsetting hedges. That is... if you buy puts to hedge and the market/issue does not decline, the hedge "didn't work out" and cost you. All you got was some temporary peace of mind for the cost of the...

Of course they are. Liberalism's more radical cousins are Communism and Nazism.

From what I've seen (haven't read all of her posts), she doesn't pop off about politics and when someone posts something really stupid, she doesn't call him on it. But geez guys, how much fun would ET be if all of us were as reserved and nice as she? :)

Exactly, though easier said than done.

Got me. I don't understand that at all.

"...formikatrading said: The problem is that the word "discipline" sounds and feels negative -- meaning that you "have" to do things you don't want to do...." You don't have to do things you don't want. You don't have to do anything at all. You do your work and find trades "you know you...

Why would you ever "have to take a trade that doesn't qualify"?

Follow and execute your trades for your own defined reasons. But discipline extends to more than just execution... like paying attention.

Yeah... like you're ever going to get away with saying that!

There is only ONE "behavior" to being disciplined.... doing what you know you should even though it's not comfortable.... and even though you can rationalize not doing so for whatever reason.

Replace that image in your mind with one of Jabba The Hut... lounging on a PILE OF MONEY!! :)
