Worst Things to Do

H

Handle123

So many posts on becoming a better trader, how about one on what not to do. Most will realize that the worst losses we have had were caused by "Worst Things to Do".

I don't need to read what reports are coming out, those are only for those who do fundamentals.

I will put in all my stops before the market opens so I can save time.

I don't need to learn to program, I looked at past 20 trades.....

I don't need backup laptop, my computer never freezes.
 
Worst thing to do is to have terrible technologies,in the first place.Then you twist and turn and go in cirlces with that garbage.99.99(close to 100%) of available retail technologies ARE garbage!

Handle123 ..... Mar 5, 2009 Report = BEAR MARKET bottom was the very next day
I must have told twenty friends in July 2007 that we are near the highs and to totally get out of the stock market, one person listened. Now when they ask if market will go lower, absolutely it will, will they get out, heck no and take a 40% loss? I tell them the DOW will be going down between 2000 and 1750 before it goes sideways for 2-3 years, Obama is going to save them. I just keep shorting it, cause at the end of this year to early next year, market is really going to take a dump, when unemployment bennies runs out, people will be liquidating whatever is left of retirement accounts to live on.



AfterLOS Axiom #1: Nobody at ET can takeout a burger out of a takeout stand. (Includes me too :))

AfterLOS Axiom #2: An actual trade with time\date stamp at ET is as rare as a 30-yr old virgin

AfterLOS Axiom #3: Threads on advice, proverbs, quotations, methods, etc. are a dime a 100

Said in 2009 = ET in action = with hindsight but made so as to appear prescient

Pls show me where you said anything to this effect BEFORE October 2007

Have a nice day :)

I have a nice day each buddy boy, but unlike you, I don't spend all my time making what 737 posts in a month, ROFLMAO what a waste of a life buddy boy that you have. But that is what ET has turned into, rude insulting wastes of crap. You want little me to show you all my methods, poor thang.

Relax amigo :) I don't want ANY of your methods - not after digging a little deeper as shown in the posts above to find out a little more about you.

Its called elimination based on FACTS.

You might think because of the above I dislike you. Wrong! Its as the other poster said, "you're a nice guy"
I believe that too. I liked you when you first PM'd me.

But as of today I will not read a single thing you write. :)
 
Handle123, your post from Nov 21, 2008

I ask you this - why would a newbie like me who wanted to be in and out of here within 2 weeks of concentrated time, want to read any more of your stuff after reading what you wrote below?

And make no mistake, I like you, you're a nice person, very amiable.

Best of luck, amigo :)






Handle123 ...... (in the depths of the bear market of 2008, 4 months before the bottom )
There is a simple solution to our economy, but it takes guts to do, and those who can, won't.

Every foreign made product apply a 25 to 100% plus TAX. Keep raising that TAX until Americans stop buying it. This will give incentive for companies to return jobs back to USA. This will make America great again. Until factories are made again, people will stop spending and pay off debt, the addional Tax collected must be mandated to pay off National debt. China has what 9 TRILLION US Dollars, they own most of our US debt?

As US companies keep going down in price, who do you think has the money to buy them pennies on the dollar?

If we are not careful, we will be speaking Chinese in several years. We need to make it unlawful for foreign companies to own more than 50% stake. Do you think other nations make it so easy for foreigners to come in USA and make fortunes?

I am sick of what we have become.
 
Let's see, I didn't even write a post till May of 2008, if that matters, my illnesses started then and would never have had the time if I had not gotten sick. You might not like my opinions, most people don't even have any answers to make USA economy better-they just bitch about it, and being you live in Thailand, your opinion would be what? Walmart is the largest retail store in America, since owner died, America's jobs have gone overseas cause Walmart went from 98% goods made in America to chasing bigger profits, rotten kids. We vote Congress in and they represent not what American people want, I certainly didn't vote for them to get much better retirement package than the people who elected them, even if they do just two years, they get retirement rest of their lives, even if they go to jail. We have a weak arse president and take two weeks to go rummaging into what other presidents would have done with ISIS, one thing for sure, can't blame that on Bush. Some of the brightest people in these states been longing for same jobs they had when Bush was Pres and been unemployed/part time with bama.

Early July I was posting regularly in ES Journal, the good/bad and the ugly, guess you missed those.

Hell, maybe it is better to run to Thai to get away from here? Thai hard to learn?

Oh, I also can play the gazoo since age six.

Amigo? LOL
