+ $1103 Despite some noobish, lazy trading, I made a satisfying profit today. Always trust first intuition, which said short CECO on open and I didn’t, sadly. Watched FAZ and put on a “paper” long @ 54.00. Wow, let me tell you, I had BIG SIMULATED DOLLAR SIGNS in my eyes when it...

+ $1103 Not my brightest trading day. It was lonely without my friends :( If chat was up, I know Win would've convinced me to trade FAZ for reals!

cv's been there since I joined in July. My husband has offered to set up a chat server for us. (Win, I made over $3000 paper trading FAZ today :p)

Yes indeed we did, quite often. I found mentors in chat, support through tough times, excellent trade ideas, and what's priceless is the years we added to our life rolling on the floor laughing over topics critical to a well-rounded democracy, such as eye worms.

Never AIMed in my life, sorry, Win. Might trade FAZ today tho :D

Still no access to Chat. Is this an ET problem or is it me?

Think about it: Their "conviction buys" were based on strong fundamentals and strong stock performance. Huge institutional buyers drove these stocks nicely during the accumulation phase. Once the bear awakened in July, fundamentals were tossed out the window, and once the financials went to hell...

12% gain in three weeks. My friends in their 4% 6-month CD's are drooling. (Now, repeat week 1 and 2; throw week 3 in the disposal :D)

Yesterday I was buying a 2 large bags of Purina dog chow for my dogs Winston, Chief, Gus, and Maximus. I was about to check out when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think, I had an elephant? Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't...

We all got disconnected earlier yesterday, then I was disconnect near end of day and could not log back in. Can't even view logs to see if everyone got kicked out again.

azzzy, you can do an intraday trade like GERN without having $25K, but then the cash used in the trade will take 3 days to clear before you can trade with that money again. You don't become subject to pattern day trader rule until you do 4 intraday trades within a 5-day period.

Rearden, it's possible to get over it. It took me a few months to even get going, then after several large losses it took me a while once again to be confident. The key is to stop thinking (no voices!), know and accept your plan in advance, then follow through (that means no voices; “When you...

I second and third this one. If you wait to hear a voice, it's too late; the trade's over.

Hi Geez, Just found your thread and subscribing to cheer you on. I started this year with a $60K account and HAVE to make 100% return this year at a bare minimum, because it's my only source of income. You will win this bet! Best of trading to you :) NoD

mapa, yes my platform completely disappeared while I had two trades on and hadn't set targets or stops. Fortunately it came back and all was well! (And what happened to chat end of day?? Got disconnected and it never came back.) + $577 day + $3615 week + $6846 month Saw my P&L light...

+ $577 day + $3615 week + $6846 month My best week this month and it was a short week, too :cool: Have a great weekend everyone!

Yesterday in chat I commented that APOL insiders sold hundreds of thousands of shares of stock over the past couple days and wondered if they were facing another class action lawsuit. I was recommending APOL as a strong swing short position. Did I put on a swing short position? No. Is...

Thanks so much guys for your encouragement! I held WYE short overnight from Wed to Thurs because it was near 4-month highs and bumping its head against the 200-day moving average. Wed evening I said to my husband, "I never hold bio/pharma overnight, but I'm holding a WYE short for the morning...

From the original date of this post to the bottom of the move 6 days later, MA pulled back from $152 to $135 before pivoting to the upside. I've found trend lines to be pretty accurate indicators.

As ET's resident Mom, I encourage all traders to practice their spelling words and grammar on a daily basis, taking special care to learn the difference between these commonly confused words: AAPL, APL and APOL AET and EAT BID and BIDU FLR, FLIR, and FSLR M and MA
