    Then either your trading size is too small or you haven't been trading long enough. If you're always winning and your realized trades have a risk : reward to justify the win : loss ratio, then simply scale up.

  5. Poor fellow, Overnight, would love to see him snap out of the Herd. Thus far from what I see here, Overnight could be that ONE who tells the Herd captains to take a hike, he’s leaving. He just needs bigger kahunas. Hard to go against the CROWD. This ought to jar him. :). :)

    Is that what he did when he loaded up on Apple with a $213 basis?
    Seems to me he did it bass ackward.
    Everyone was going crazy for it at $220, and fearful AF at $145.
    ... just sayin'.

  8. For Overnight:

    Now open thine eyes and look around. Start wth lieutenant TheMickey and observe the vast array of solid stolid agreement and euphoria present at ET regarding market direction. To top it off pull up General Clubber Lang’s comments. this feloow’s comments are sooooo telling of the froth in the market that any contrarian would hammer out a total SELL order

    This should not take more than 2 minutes, it’s sooooooo obvious.

    Now apply Buffet’s Law

  10. For vanzandt. ....... see above about how Warren violated his own rule

    At the recent crash low of Apple and the subsequent rally to today the stock is NOW a pure trading stock OR an outright total investment SHORT for the long haul. It is no more a Long investment item. It’s now in the category, “all stocks are suspect until proven otherwise”
