That has got to be about the dumbest things I've read here. I'm pretty sure even Warren Buffet would argue that point. I think we all would agree he's been a mildly succesful INVESTOR over the years.
that is because you ALL think that Warrent Buffet is an investor when he buys low and sells high .... He is actually a speculator when he is doing that. He is investing in OTHER things like buying companies and making them profitable. That is another thing...
Hi Mark, could you please paste links or give us some keywords for (some of) those threads? I've come across a few ones on tape reading, momentum, etc., but it's really like finding a needle in a haystack. Best trading, Jorge
short&naked Trade your investments: is what you said. That strategy sounds good but in reality it is like a married man screwing around on the wife (or visa versa). You are saying you can marry an investment because you are smart enough to know it will work out in the LONGGGGGGG run. But in the mean time you can play the other side in another account because you also are able to work the zigs and zags to your advantage. Are you REALLY that good? Are you sure? Have you discussed this with the little Lady? What you are saying is not the way the real world makes. You are saying keep a position and try to milk the cow in the mean time. Range trading can be done with tactical advantages, but to play the field is not as easy as it looks. Try it and check back in a year or so. <a href="http://www.sweetim.com/s.asp?im=gen&ref=11" target="_blank"><img src="http://content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/emoticons/000200A5.gif" border=0 ></a>
Well I guess by that definition non of us are investors since we dont buy companies and make them profitable. I really think you need to get your thoughts in order.
Pretty cocky. So you have a problem with trend trading? I am not smart enough to know what will happen in the long run, nor do I have to be. If it's hard for you to spot a steady trend then that's not my problem. It is your turn, not mine.
The key is not to trade with charts and furgetabut trend trading--its a joke suitable only for the most naive'. Charts are the dumbest of the dumb trading ideas, not analyst idea, but trading ideas. Do you drive looking in the rearview mirror? That is what trading with charts is like. Ya can't trade a chart, only see what you could have traded, the sooner this is realized the sooner the trader will break into profits. you are on the right track! JOa K er
(I'll bite) You have basically just discredited all of TA by saying this, you realize this, right? So if you don't trade with charts, what do you use?
