  3. LOL, as I was making sure that all the boot campers were checking news, earnings, and all that, I missed it.

    (Boy, the things I go through to show my new traders what not[/] to do, LOL).


    Don :p

  4. 2 fills short GE a scratch (out too soon) & TYC a nice win

    I just put TYC back on the list after removing him when the company split into 3. It's looking a little too volatile for me, so he's on trial. Also added KO.

    These 2 replaced PG, which I may put back on (since the price is down quite a bit & he's a good performer), & S, which is too low priced.

    I wonder if S will be removed from the Dow 30. Has anyone heard anything about that ???

    Good weekend to all.

  8. We are using a specific strategy for the open with some small variations from person to person. Please check on page 1 of this thread for all the details.

  9. No, just a basic strategy outlined in earlier threads that most people use as a baseline, and tweak it according to their preferences.

    Took a spanking today, 1 long loser, 1 short test position win, -1450, 2100 shares.

    ABT was a bastard.
