Why wonder? It's paper trading at its finest, and you can just add or subtract backdated stocks anytime you want to. I suggest you add/subtract put/call options, too, on a backdated basis. If you're going to do it, do it right. The economy is great, right?
MA up huge +11% another great day for my index BIDU AAPL MA RIMM all near record highs people though that if the market sold off that these stocks would never recover but they did GS and FWLT are up/down a little DDM is doing little
We are 1 month away from the First Anniversary of the stock_trad3r Index. I'll start the count down with a performance overview: Up 47.28% Since June 14, 2007 BIDU 138.24 366.87 +165.39% Long RIMM 56.93 141.97 +149.36% Long MA 150.29 290.26 +93.13% Long AAPL 117.50 188.16 +60.14% Long FWLT 52.15 68.90 +32.13% Long GOOG 505.22 584.94 +15.78% Long DDM 94.99 78.50 -17.36% Long GS 233.64 192.08 -17.79% Long TOTAL: +47.28%
the results speak for themselves even when the market nearly fell 20% the index rebounded back stronger than ever when a lot of people were predicting that the stocks would not recover from a near bear market. You can't short AAPL or RIMM and expect to make money for long. You can't short MA or FWLT> These are stocks that almost always go up. This index is exactly how you make money in the stock market.
Granted, but he risks his whole (paper) portfolio on buy-and-hold with MOMO stocks. There was no guarantee the Fed was going to intervene and allow this new rally. The market didn't go into a Bear Market, but it will. ST says it will all be rosy from here on. Momo stocks run up, yet if you typically hold these too long they fall out of favor never to return to their former glory. New ones will take their place. This IS the way of the market and business cycles are not going away - despite what-all the Fed may be able to do. What is one year? Holding these for 10 may fall far short of the market - which is exactly what ST proposes. p$
lol it is the fed's job to intervene during economic weakness. Obviously they had to cut rates. It is easy to blame the fed when things don't go your way. Since these picks are already up 40+ % it will take a pretty bad bear market for the index to go negative, but the odds of that are pretty slim to none.
"....when a lot of people were predicting that the stocks would not recover from a near bear market. "------->>> Damn it you idiot. You were one of these people on this board saying, and I quote, "Obviously the market isn't going up anytime soon so there is no need to post." Now you're up and down this board like a f'n idiot claiming you're still long these stocks and how you are outperforming the market. WTF happened to you when the Dow was down at 11,750? You also said you were closing your account when the Dow went below what? 12,000? Hell, who remembers. ET should ban you for life coming on this board making these FALSE claims. You're nothing but a freaking clown. Now that you're "portfolio" is doing so well again why don't you hyperlink us to the pic of you with your speedo and big freaking muscles. Get a life man.
Which was started by Comanche to make fun of the tool who calls himself stock_trad3r ... then the loser (not "looser"--take note so you pass your next quiz on that, ST) turns it into "his" index and starts on his usual "listen to me, I know all" tirade that everyone who has read one of his idiotic posts has long since tired of...
