Started 12 months ago at 46.

 

I care I share ( my strategy )
I use 20,188,12 MACD ( developed in 1979 ) in dax trading
Now poeple will know how to trade it... LOL
From this moment this strategy will no loger work. period

 

i stand corrected (re youth majority).

besides: you're really only as old as you feel, right?

 

I happy to read that I'm not the only "old timer" on the board.

I got started after I moved to Hawaii and started "jonesing" for the action at the race track. A friend suggested I should check out the stock market and that's what got me started. I "progressed" into a very active "investor" just in time to get beat up in the crash of 1987. Ouch! But I survived and stayed with it...my "active" investing became something close to what we know today as swing trading. The commissions back then where just too high to trade as frequently as today.

great. we'll have to start an old timer's league.

I will point out that Mayer Offman is over 50.

 

and so am I:eek:

 

Well so am I (but not by much).

That's what we really need around here, a group of old farts with another reason to be on line when we (read that "I" ) should be watching the ticker.

Old is having to use hot keys because I shake too much to use the mouse.

 

not a real big one, but it's a start.

I think he's upset that he had to fill someone at the offer.

 

and wise enough to know when not to!
BTW, I just started in 1979 with oil stocks during the iran hostage crisis....still learning.
