Very lame. Not nearly as good a caricature as Cramer is of himself.

The psychology here is very easy to understand. The average investor feels comfortable buying with the crowd...into strength. Invariably, there is weakness that follows, even if it is short term. The investor panics out, preferring to take the loss rather than take the heat. If you're...

Yep.

I've found the Yahoo message boards to be extremely helpful over the years. The very heavily traded (daytraded) stocks do attract their share of fools and pretenders. But other stocks often attract nice insights as to why stock is behaving in an unusual pattern. There have been many...

Sorry for the loss. My RULE #1 for years has been NEVER TRADE DRUG STOCKS. There are simply too many regulatory and legal issues that can kill you, unless you are inside the industry and know all the players.

If you are that concerned, you are better off either (1) Going to cash and taking your profits, (2) Shorting the Qs, or (3) Shorting NQ if you have access to futures. Buying puts, you'll be paying a big price in decay if the market doesn't move your way, quickly and strongly.

Swing trading is when I earn profits. Scalping is when I give them back to my broker in the form of commissions.

You call that an improvement? I used to live on the intracoastal in Delray Beach until your so-called 'improvements' started. Left the state and never returned. From the Keys to Vero Beach, it will also just be a parking lot very soon.

Oh really? Honestly now, when was the last time you tuned into an AM radio station. They are all there, right in front of you. Habla Espanol? I have a GPS antenna on my car, too. Came already installed. But I didn't sign for the service.

A glance at the chart before and after Stern says all that needs to be said. He is old news. He is NOT drawing new listeners, and the stock is not drawing new buyers. Sirius themselves just lowered subscriber numbers going forward. How much clearer do you need the picture to be? The...

The stock is a dog because the company is a dog, with a losing business model. The chart looks like it does for a good reason. They've got Stern making the rounds of the talk shows just to keep his face in the public because he can't draw new subscribers. The shock-jock can no longer...

And another one from Warren Buffett, which is very appropriate for this thread: “Let blockheads read what blockheads write.”

Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy only when others are fearful. - Warren Buffett (This is all you need to know)

You just sold short then bought to cover. Don't feel bad. A very common mistake with a new platform. You might want to trade very small size until you get the hang of it.

Arnie, my experience with those lists (my wife is a Realtor) is that they are a waste. Every homeowner who is unlucky enough to appear on those lists is inundated with literally hundreds of letters and phone calls, and is typically in denial that they have a problem. Most often their...

Cash or not us up to you and your CPA. I prefer the mortgage deduction. The best deal going. A cash deal is somewhat more attractive to a seller, but if you have a pre-approval letter from a lender - which you should get - that will be as good as a cash offer. A drawback to cash is that the...

You're hearing more about foreclosures because there are more of them, and because they are the latest Get Rich Now crock. Foreclosures have many problems, which I won't detail here. Stay away. You are buying at a good time. Your best bet is to find good properties that have been on the...

Really? What planet are you on?
