    Gave me a great laugh. Just a horsesh*t heap of 'hit and miss' day after day.

    There has been the cult classic "Wall Street". How about a comedy drama called "The Trader" on the groundhog principle; every day he wakes up and its yesterday so he knows he can play the market successfully because he knows how the day ends. But hold on, no, this hapless hardhead still manages to jack it up day after day. A happy ending? Well, OK, you write it.

  2. It's like going to vegas. The longer your stay your mathematical odds of keeping your winnings are drastically reduced.

    Buy one of those electrical timers (the kind that turns your lamps on/off when you are on vacation). Two hours in and oops you are done for the day.

    See how silly that sounds, imo this is why the Nike commercial "Just do it" is so appealing, most of us know what that means, dream of it but don't have a clue or the tools on how to get there.

    I would suggest you can the stocks for daytrading. Stocks are playtoys of corporate children. The elite business schools must teach to the suckers that the COMPANY is their playtoy, bunch of ego nuts.

    Daytrade with a daytrade instrument, something where the game is more geared to the timeframe of daytrading....:eek:

    The E-MINI's are the weapon of choice for serious gamers...:D

    The ES is KING, learn how to trade that, then when you clean out the winnings from your account every year you can do 2 things for the new year.

    # 1 You start over and shoot for an extremely high return % return on your trading capital. Not your total net worth, just the trading capital.

    #2 You take last years winning money, after you made Uncle Sam happy by paying your taxes and you then maybe ..MAYBE.. buy some stocks for the longer run. Keep this in mind also, even buying stocks for the longer run you will still be a mkt timer, everyone is.

    OK, have fun.....STEEL YOURSELF........SOLDIER ON....:cool: :D
