    The magic rules? There are only three, but you must follow them carefully:
    Buy near an upward trendline. This implies, by the way, only buying stocks that have actually had an upward trendline. So, if you can't find a trendline for the dog you're looking at, your decision should be simple. Don't buy.
    1b: An alternative to No. 1 is to buy near a previous breakout area. Hopefully, this breakout area will now prove to be support. Like the trendline example, though, if you can't figure out where the previous breakout area was, don't buy.

    1c: A final alternative is to buy at a bottom. This is my least favorite method, as it implies picking up some real bowsers, in the hopes that "it just can't get any worse than this!"


    Only buy if volume has steadily declined on the pullback. Why? Because that's a good indication the selling is drying up. At least that's the hope.

    Make sure you use a judiciously placed stop right in the "whoops -- I guess I was wrong" area. That stop can be either on the books or mental, but you must adhere to it. Unless, of course, you want to turn a small loss into a big one.

  2. Easiest way to make money is legal insider trading.
    The market is not transparent - if something materially fundamental is going on with the company it will not remain a closed secret. Joe CEO will show off to his doctor, Barry Romance will tell his lover, and Dodgy Director will set up an offshore trust....and then the doctor, the lover and Banana Republic trust will all start buying this crapped out little stock.
    And how you gonna now?
    Volume, volume, volume. The volume chart will give you the gift...
    The hardest thing....well its finding these stocks before they've already moved too far.
    And make sure volume doesn't call your bluff.......placements, options, blocks, manipulation.
    (btw if you spot any candidates please PM me!)

    The raw power of options fascinates me. The idea that I can control so much stock with so little money amazes me. Winning at options makes you feel like you're a major-leaguer. An options home run outshines any 440-footer over any left centerfield wall in any stadium in the country.

    And an options wipeout? Remember the handoff in the Miracle in the Meadowlands? :p Remember the pitch Joe Carter belted out of the park to win the World Series in '94? Remember the ball Havlicek stole to beat the 76ers? :confused: (Man, you are old.) When you get crushed in an options trade, you know what it feels like to have been on the wrong side in all three of those nightmares.

    That's why I am glad you have come to my couch/trauma center. I have probably wiped out more options than anyone alive. I have destroyed capital in puts and calls with Warp 10 speed. I have been vaporized, disintegrated, obliterated and decimated as surely as if I were picnicking in the mountains of Monserrat.

    Yet, I am here to tell you about it.
    :cool:
