3 different brokers with US and Canadian accounts separate with each. Want/need the ability to place a trade if for some reason I can't contact a particular broker. It's the same reason I have a land line and a cell phone plus access to two different internet providers.

Everyone wants to get rich trading! Very few are willing to take responsibily for their own actions. You gotta get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

sounds like a ptetty good situation. what do you do? Buy stocks that are going up. Sell when the trend changes. Don't hold losers in your portfolio!

Oh that would be horrific! I think that has already happened.

So what happens if the US defaults on it's debt? I've seen companies that file chapter 11 then keep on operating as if nothing has happened. The shareholders get screwed but the business carries on.

It took me 20 yrs to get rich slowly with the help a bull market then I spent the next 20 speculating. There were days in the beginning that one hell of a ride but things worked out and now I do what I want. You got it. Think big!!! Don't be worried about healthcare and a secure job and a...

As long as you have fun having to go to work every day I guess that's fine. Gotta look at the positive side of things. I don't have a job to go too. I decide when I want to work or whether I even fel like working I can work from anywhere in the world, well almost. For me the point of trading...

It's a tough business. The failure rate is over 90%. I suggest you take the time to study why traders fail. Make a list of the top reasons then don't do any of that.

I wouldn't touch either of them at this time. We might look at them differently as you want to invest and I prefer to speculate. I look at the 5 year and see an up trend. (Higher highs and higher lows) I would certainly want to look at the weekly chart and then the daily. I would also like to...

What has the cost of subscriptions got to do with using a 35 year time frame. What am I going to to be able to use on a 35 year chart that I won't find on a 20 yr chart? I rarely look out more than 5 yrs.

Do you find much value in using a chart with a 35 year time frame?

Money management is deciding how much of your portfolio to invest in an asset. How much should I invest? Risk management is deciding where your exit is if you are wrong. How much am I prepared to lose?

No doubt but the difference between making a grand a day compared to a hundred worth: bragging rights. I question the 10 cent stop on a hundred dollar stock.

Gotta wonder as the price rise who is selling to the new buyers? Can't all be shorts covering.

Not sure whether to be impressed or sceptical. I'll lean towards impresssed. 15 trades with a 10 cent stop on a stock with a 9 to 10 dollar ATR is very impressive. Your first post was on trading 1000 shares and now you mention 100 shares. Are you sure the guy is not BSing you just a little bit?

Spend a day or two researching why traders fail. Make a list of the top reasons. If you don't do any of that stuff you'll be fine.

Just curious as to what your weekly charts are telling you today? Trend change or not? I'm still staying on te sidelines to see what next week brings.
