All you need is a few decent trades per year at 10%+, too much trading only makes the brokers rich. Sometimes less is more Ever hear the expression "brokers make you broker"?

everyone go out and buy an ipad for memorial day.
Why are you surprised when stocks hit these arbitrary "support" numbers... its all a bunch of crap like astrology
anyone can draw trend lines and make them look any way you want them to.
OMG 50 day moving average broken... sweet... i dont care what happened 50 days ago
I'll respectfully disagree. In a market where 99% of the trading is done by computers, I would imagine trying to learn some technical analysis would be helpful.
I would say it's also a self-fulfilling prophecy in a way. If enough people believe a stock is going to break out by looking at a chart, it's more likely to break out because of the $ those people put into it.
Of course, lately I would have had better luck with a dartboard. That's just my theory. I think there's some data that can be gained by it, just as there's some advantage to card counting in blackjack. Is it going to be enough to beat the house? Probably not, but maybe you can shave the edge down a little.

In addition to the net income miss, "the revenue made a big jump because they included the Hypercom acquisition in their results. Do your homework. They missed miserably on the bottom line".
gapping between 41.30 and 41.60. I don't know about rebound tomorrow if it's a red day. I anticipate more sell off at the bell.
Edit: correction, now at 41.15.... now 40.90. really gettin fugly

Agree! I used to have a commission free broker that allowed me to trade up to 30 trades a month, but I lost like 2k in less than 10 days. Never do frequent trading again.

word is GREECE will not leave the Euro zone. Wonder if that's good news at this point. :/ tired of hearing about greece. Maybe Iran, Greece, Spain, France, and the whole lot can just cancel each other out.
Only thing keeping me from a long position now on PAY is the word on the street: If you're not flat into this weekend, you are INSANE. That and that turd continues to head downhill. 40.62. would already lost a buck on what seemed a solid down side 30 min ago.

People still watch CNBC?? That's like watching the cartoon network. ROFL!!!

Meh, I have no discipline and I get all emotional about the fact that I always buy at what ends up being the 52-week high when I want to buy and hold.

Then brokers and MM's must love you for being one of their best customers.
retirebyfourty said: I know. Sometimes these low-float stocks can be good (or isolated from micro-DJIA moves). Might get lucky to get out tomorrow, but we may likely also see a pullback to 10.70s
chaddi said: chaddi said: retirebyfourty said: CBOU looking strong again. Chaddi, once CBOU crosses 11.50-11.60 (knocks on wood), are you going to be heading for the exits or do you have a price target in mind? I'm torn between getting out unscathed at 11.65 and being happy with 500$. OTOH, I wouldn't mind waking up in 3 months and seeing it back to 15. My CBOU average is around 11.5 and I plan to sell it at 12. I hope it hits 12 by end of next week.
CBOU picking up.
imo, get out, and go long sbux if coffee is your thing. schultz' vision seems a a winner for years to come. i say that as someone who almost never drinks sbux and thinks single serve coffee machines are a rip off (but consumers seem to really like it). looking at the long term charts for cbou, jva, or gmcr... FUGLY.
Morgan Stanley (MS.N) will adjust thousands of trades to ensure no limit orders will be filled at more than $43 a share for Facebook (FB.O) stock from last Friday's botched initial public offering, the firm told its brokers on Thursday, a person familiar with the call said.

LOL. How nice of them!
Cool, so that means MS gonna take those losses and should go down? Would be interesting to see how many ppl wanted to get in this by paying more than $43/share.
except... nasdaq already filled many of those orders and many filled already sold. at this point, damage is done. are they actually suggesting some still have pending limit orders?
drd2501 said: kantscholar said: mariusz said: FB continues it's descent into oblivion. How many days before it cracks $30? How disappointing that there are no options.
Once they start trading, the pricing is going to be ridiculous. I'm staying away from FB, but I'd be a seller of those options rather than a buyer.
If you were to pick one, which would it be Sell Calls or Sell Puts?
Again, I wouldn't touch FB... but if you made me I'd sell puts. At least I know what my loss will be. The stupidity of the market in sending these trash stocks up knows no limits. I wouldn't want to be stuck short when FB is up at 70.

Greece will leave the euro eventually. Every cent that Germany has donated to Greece has just been kicking that can down the road. Unless they keep all the broke countries in the Euro and Germany moves out and back to its own currency, that is how Greece could stay on the Euro. But the currency union as it currently exists cannot last. But, if the broke countries leave the euro, that is GOOD for the euro strength.

bloomberg. but u know how ths changes minute by minute. agreed better if they leave.
Why do you think that Greece leaving the eurozone is a good idea? Germans and french are export dependent economies. Once the Greek leave, german and french goods are not competitive anymore. That is the reason why those two countries want to hold onto Greece.

That is the reason why those two countries want to hold onto Greece. euro puts their exports at a serious disadvantage. euro will cripple them for a decade. exit is completion. markets like conclusions, but uncertainty is the perennial evil. plus greece has to do what's right for greece. never should have joined euro in 1st place.
what are thoughts on shorting a stock destined for failure but with a uber small float? i speak about MFRM; hugely over inflated price, crappy company (rebranded many times) w/ a shorts 9 to 1. Problem is price swings because of float. It only take a few hundred shares. If I short 1000 (Which should have no impact since borrowing shares from another investor no?), then buy to cover, I'm thinking the buy will make price jump. Thoughts? I know one thing. No way they are closing up 4.69%!
