Since traders are self-employed, masturbation could be referred to as "sexually harassing the boss" :p

When the exectuive says everything is "fine", s/he is quite honestly stating "This is the end". I will illustrate this point via Merriam Webster's on-line listing for "fine": Main Entry: fine Pronunciation: \ˈfīn\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French...

From looking at Neke's top and bottom trades during his awesome run up, he's learned to let his winners run and cut his losers short. Barring a computer meltdown during massive volatility on heavy leverage without a protective stop in place, this is a trading strategy for success that most...

Many companies' earnings haven't been cut at all and keep growing quarter after quarter, yet their stock prices have dropped 60%, 70% and more (solar and fertilizer cos for example). Solar companies' P/E's were so high that there's plenty of room for more discounting, especially given the poor...

+ $927 Went long IBM early in the day off the big selloff @ 69.80 and sold a few seconds later (way too soon) for a $186 gain. GPRO hitting lows and I bought in @ 30.39 off a failure to make a new low and exited at break even when it seemed to totally stall, leading me think maybe it would...

+ $927 Played in the WTR so much my eyes are burning :cool: (1R, thank you leading me to the WTR last week!)

They issued a prospectus that made that statement under the "all the things that could possibly go wrong" portion of the prospectus. If you read any company's prospectus you will see a long scary list of factors that could negatively impact a company. Unfortunately, the dry shippers are in...

+ $247 My little overnight SPY trade stopped out for a $140 loss :( (Should've grabbed my $60 profit before the close yesterday.) I then missed a good portion of the trading morning due to a long appointment. Got back and shorted WTR rallies. Missed several entries, but got some...

+ $247 Played in the WTR again today. There's an old saying: "If it works, don't fix it."

It's not my opinion. Analysts revised DRYS 2009 earnings from 9.35 to 6.50 just recently based on the Baltic Dry Index @ 829. Considering over 50% of their fleet was locked in at May's rates through 2009-2010, they just reported 3.50/share earnings for the past quarter, and Baltic Dry Index is...

- $20 I had an overnight WTR short and instead of adding to the position at 21.00 this morning I had a target cover in place and forgot about it. Really stupid move on my part as I could've taken large profits early on, several times over. I missed so many entries today it wasn't funny. I...

$6.50 IS the downward revision, based on Baltic Dry being in the 800's. I would say oversold is good description at this point.

- $20 My profitable short today came from fading a move up instead of trying to get an order placed near the top. If I was more aggressive with that today, shoulda woulda coulda lots of money.

+ $137 Shorted WTR @ 20.05 on overbought stochastic and placed a target cover @ 19.95.. It rose a bit, then dropped to my target but only gave a partial fill before bouncing hard. I added to the short @ 20.32 for average price of 20.19 and set a target @ 20.15, which was filled, leaving money...

+ $137 Played in the WTR again today.

+ $346 Started the day watching AAPL, hoping for a test of the 86's, but it ended up bouncing off the 87's. Was looking to trade $90 calls, but my desired price was never reached. Placed short offer on WTR for 20.03 as it pivoted from overbought condition @ 20.05. Was a bit late on the...

+ $346 All good trades today :cool:

- $26 Bought ISRG when it failed to make a new low and I hoped to catch about a $1 move off 155.00. It hit 155.21 and reversed. The moment the stochastic crossed down I exited at market for a $192 loss. If I had patiently watched the chart I could’ve later caught a nice long move off the...
