  4. Good points

    The reason why I tend to recommmend the same stocks over and over is because there are long term picks intended to beat the market.

    The problem is 99% of stocks that are 'in play' make poor long term investments and most have a tendency to underperform the market. I have seen countless stocks whihc have a solid 4-8 month run and then p00f the bottom falls out and it underperforms the market for the next two to four years.

    Examples include Jones Soda which I bought at 29 and had to bail out at 30. I cound't keep my money on that for long.

    In addition there is a lot of fasination over stocks like AAPL and GOOG. There are stocks a lot of people like to discuss and follow.

    Also I dont really want to research new stocks when I'm not getting paid for my time..lol

    So many stocks it can get overwhelming.

  5. Wow look at bidu go! Up another 8 bucks

    You can't short this shit..I dare anyone to short these stocks

    Um except GS..that has gone down the crapper. I doubt there is much more profit to be made going short on that though. Looks like the bottom for GS.

    Should be another great day

  6. How the fuck would you know that at 10:02 in the morning. The S&P's are down six points in less than 20 minutes since you made this idiotic statement.

    You are so incredibly stupid it's scary.

    As predicted....Stock Trader resurfaces on a few up days. I, and a number of others called this last week. Where were you on the washout day? Don't say you were away from your desk.

  8. The point is the index is up about 5.5% now from inception while the market is down about 4.5% from that same period of time.

    The market is doen selling off and even if it does the index can withstand it.

    Stock Trader.. I don't care that you're a perma-bull. I do care that you conveniently appear/disappear depending on the current market trend and apparently never close, nor offer guidance on when to close positions. A real trader cannot play solely the long side, nor can they play only the short side of the market. If you were a trader you'd be able to know when to close your longs and watch them retreat, only to buy them back lower. Why in the world would you hold things through 10-15% corrections if you know these stocks so well? It defies sense, much like your posts.

  10. Sometimes when the market is crashing it is best to step away from the computer. I'll still post but not as often duing the big selloffs. I figure now would be a good time to update the progress on the index now that the mayhem is over for now atleast.

    Um ...trying to call the top is next to impossible. No one saw this big 7% market selloff coming. When the dow peaked at 14000 how would I know that was the top? Did any one know?
