Go get 'em today dawg. Whatever happens, I appreciate you sharing your journey. This has been a really refreshing journal to read and I wish you...
A solid fundie guy (not a momentum player in disguise) with a level head and no institutional imperative to play the hot new thing is usually...
Ha. I wish I could. What I have found from discussions with a few folks and a few interviews is that my record is worth nearly zilch to anyone but...
So what do you technically inclined folks think about the huge ranges (high to low) and volume being seen in REIT's the last couple of days? IYR...
yeah it was kinda like that. I made money like everybody else in the last couple of years of the 90's. To be honest I never did much momentum,...

I used to exit early a lot as well. It was probably the biggest and most costly mistake I made early in my career. I would do all the analysis, my...
I PM'd you. I don't want to bore the crap out of anyone LOL!
