    OK, time to do some work.

    I will leave you with a few ponderings!

    A. When a stock price is moving up you buy it.

    B. When a stock price is moving down you sell it.

    C. When a stock price is not moving you do not hold a position in it.


    Question:

    What do you do when a stock price is moving up and down?

    I doubt if you could learn anything of value - as usual the nick is usually self explanatory!

    It is amazing how the human mind works - idiots will even pronounce to the world that they are idiots :D

    A very astute observation DH, but it is not an answer to the question!

  5. Then the obvious is to buy low and sell high, but that is hindsight information.

    Just in case some people need to be reminded - post off topic and you will be asked to observe the site rules.

    This is a very professional site, and I am sure that its owners have a keen interest in members using the site to educate themselves as best they can in relation to trading!

    If idiots keep popping up their heads and disrupting worthwhile conversations, then they might need to be removed and placed where they rightly belong!

    NO - you must BLASH and SHABL to make money, but the obvious is what enables you to do this with very low risk, and with a potential profit many times the initial amount risked!

    This is the essence of professional gambling - aka, trading!


    BTW, not even Waren Buffet is aware of the obvious, but that should be obvious to everyone by now!

  10. Reading this thread is almost as much fun as talking to my Gann-trader friend.

    BLASH = buy low and sell high

    SHABL = sell high and buy low.
