Try Corrective2 (Sorry, couldn't resist a little ethnic humor.)

Excellent advice. Don't spend a cent until you've opened demo accounts and have proven to yourself that you can make money in ANY market. And be aware that Forex, for even highly experienced retail traders, is a very tough market to master without significant drawdowns. You're always at...

I really can't recall an easier trading environment. If nothing else, just buy the dips and wait for the afternoon recovery. How hard is that? Duh. Any pullback in this market - and in solid stocks - is going to be met with buying. There is a lot of money waiting to come in, and...

1. The best lessons you'll learn, are those you'll learn on your own. No different than in life. 2. If you can't master your emotions, you won't make it in trading. The sooner you can face this and deal with it, the sooner you'll because successful. The business is filled with...

My bet is that you were one of those in March who were saying "The stock market is going down the tubes." Well, wrong. It WENT down the tubes. Past tense. Those who bought in March did the right thing, as those who are now buying into distressed real estate are going the right thing...

LOL! I'm not sure you'd find many women who would be willing to admit to being fired because they were ugly. From what I've seen, I'd say that the vast majority of women in mid to upper level corporate positions are certainly NOT there because of their good looks! I'd bet that those who...

The problem with health insurance is very simply defined. We are the only developed nation that permits health insurance companies to earn huge net profits. NET PROFITS LAST YEAR: United Health - 3.5 BILLION Aetna - 1.3 BILLION WellPoint - 2.5 BILLION Now, keep in mind that these...

Oh, B.S. Scottsdale is not anywhere near 2000 levels. I live here, and from 2003-2006 prices went up 50%. A pullback was to be expected. The only people who are hurting are those who bought in the euphoria in 2005-2006 and are underwater. My wife is a realtor and during that...

In all the brilliance (LOL!) displayed on this thread, the key value of owning residential real estate has been overlooked. Net profits to 500K per couple are TAX FREE, so long as you live in the home for 2 years. Combine that with 10:1 leverage, and it is a no-brainer. Anyone who can...

Every investment has drawdowns. The fact that housing prices have pulled back from bloated highs does not negate the value of owning a home long term. If you were to survey folks in their 60s who have owned a home for most of their adult lives, I can assure you that the vast majority would...

Linda Lovelace died broke and living in a trailer. Nuff said.

That's correct. That should be your starting point. Cause and affect. Nothing happens without a reason. Mining data without first thinking about cause is a waste of time, and is the ruin of most new traders.

They shouldn't let him back in the NFL.

LOL! I just love it when newbies come to the site asking for opinions, then don't listen. I'll tell you what, OP, you go long 10 stocks every day at the close and hold them overnight. Then let us know how it goes. (You might want to first visit your physician for a prescription for...

Yes, they are.

My advice? Trade stocks but carefully monitor the S&P during trading and backtesting, which has a big impact on setting up opportunities in the individual components. If you're out sailing and you want to get from point A to B, the wind direction is going to have a lot to do with your...

Correct. Essentially the OP is playing for reversion to the mean. So generally, there are two choices. (1) Wait for the few opportunities where there is extreme price movement that will set up a signficant opportunity, or (2) Try to take a lot of trades on a short timeframe and be...

Get a job and develop a career. That should be your primary goal right now. Once you've secured a regular income and benefits, there's plenty of work you can do to develop your trading skills for a second income source in your spare time. You do NOT need to daytrade to make money in...

I'm right here, making good money on F that I bought at 3.25. The easiest decision I made in the past 10 years was to buy F at that level.
