AMT - if you entered at 36.69, how could you have lost $$? The 2 times today it traded at that price it went straight up. CMCSA - 19.95 was near the top of the morning run up. Both times in the morning it traded at 19.95 it was in an overbought condition and therefore a poor long entry point...

If you're daytrading and you're very strong on chart analysis, it would work to your best advantage to close a long winning position before the pullback, then re-enter the position on the next pivot up (if you're still bullish on the move). I believe a situation where you would add to a...

+ $797 Lots of strong opportunities today, it was almost distracting. I need to remind myself to focus on a couple top picks for the early morning volatility and grab the entries when they present. POT was hitting lows and I bought a small Oct $165 call position. Added to the position when...

+ $797 Traded conservatively, missed some good entries there was so much great action happening at once!

ROTFLMAO and something to the cat :p

I believe passage of the $700 billion dollar "Economic Revival Program" should be contingent solely upon the following mandate: Every chicken-loving American must to do his/her patriotic duty and purchase at least 361.0675 shares of PPC in the morning! (This figure is based upon the $2300...

For those holding PPC through the halt: Pilgrim's Pride Trading Halted After Plunging a Record 38% By Choy Leng Yeong Sept. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Pilgrim's Pride Corp., the biggest U.S. chicken producer, plunged 38 percent, the most ever, before trading was halted on the New York Stock...

- $132 RKT puts did not move much even though the stock tanked and the bid/ask was so wide I exited for a $50 gain. Too soon, as it finally tanked enough to make a better profit later. Bought BUCY @ 50.72 after it dropped to an oversold position. It spiked to 50.91 and then fell hard...

- $132 Left $ on the table and got killed on slippage.

Amen! "The Government" is us. You don't like it, you should run for office.

+ 421 Another frustrating day because of no shares available to short on so many excellent short opportunities. SPWR was my top pick of the afternoon, but the bid/ask spread on the options was over $1, so I left it alone. PNRA fell rapidly then consolidated. I placed a target limit order...

+ $421 Still no shares available to short most of what I want to; using options on some.

+$165 Left $3500 on the table by not holding SHLD puts over the weekend. Tried to short and no shares available: BWLD, AZO, BABY, SNDK, ANN and PNRA. Bought PNRA puts, which I’m holding. HSY hitting major highs from 40.70 to 44.32 in about half an hour. Bought puts cheap. Saw...

+165 Six short orders rejected - no shares available. They weren't even financials :(

What does it mean when you see those DowJones newswire alerts scroll by that say: Company Name (Ticker Symbol) Ind: 38.0-42.0 Last 36.50? Example: Massey Energy (MEE) Ind: 38.0-42.0 Last 36.50 Is it indicating a price range of standing orders as compared to the last price?

+$2495 Have a great weekend everyone!

+ $2495 FWLT up big in pre-market and there was a market-on-open sell imbalance, so I wanted to take advantage of early volatility and the gift of a bear rally to offload my Nov calls. The bid/ask spread was huge, so I entered a price in between and eventually got filled for a $2330 gain...

Thanks for the encouragement, 1R. You are hitting your stride, man! I admire your calm under extreme circumstances (CEG, RTT). (My 2nd trade yesterday was actually very small, only a $4800 investment to make $1000. A little patience would've netted $3000!)

The one problem I used to have with PowerE*tradePro was it would act as if my connection had terminated and I'd have to restart. This was very rare, but annoying to say the least. What I do now each weekend per the steps they've walked me through in the past is delete all the Java temp files, do...

+ $143 I was excited to trade this morning because all day yesterday I continued to study stochastics and narrowed my best indicator down to a very specific pattern, and how it worked under a variety of conditions (bad and good, since yesterday was the day for that). So what do I do this...
