make that 1.5 years actually. Picked aapl at 56 and goog at 430. Hans at 40. I know almost everything. Doubters will be proven wrong again and again.
Just the fact that you say "you know almost everything" means you have a lot to learn. I prefer to trade in just about every other area in the market to the momo game. Not saying it's wrong, but it is not for me. When (not if) risk has value, you will see what I mean.
Thats fine. To each our own. I prefer longer term trades. Some like to trade more frequently. Nothing wrong with that.
I hope this represents a permanent deviation from your usual arrogance and hostility toward those who challenge your method of "trading" (I happen to call what you do investing). You might be better received if that is in fact the case there, slick.
Um beating the market by more than 48% in just a five month period is not luck. It's skill. The dow is only up 250 points in that same period. Um yea. I can repeat this easily. Making money in the stock market isnt that hard.
It wasn't luck or skill... when the market was down many of these stocks got demolished... and when the market was up they went up. You don't know who's swimming naked until the tide goes out.
Um during the subprime mass my index was still outperforming my picks go up even when the market is down. When the market is up my picks soar. I know how stocks work. I know how the market and trends work. GOOG up huge FWLT up huge BIDU up huge AAPL up huge RIMM up huge GS up a lot MA up a lot WERD
GS and MA barely moved at all. Tech has just made a killing lately... but that's been more of an macroeconomic factor than good picks... if something can't go on forever, it won't. A lot of these stocks are hitting diminishing returns and it would be a good idea to take profits. They have a christmas run in them possibly but that's about it. Hell, I've been making good money shorting RIMM at the 127 level lately.
Any profits mde shorting rimm should be taken. Rimm has a tendency to move $4 in a single day on the tip of a hat. But we'll see. I know that many have tried to call the tops on these stocks before and have failed.
