    The ride back up the hill is so long.  It is taking me a long time.  I made a lot of mistakes in the begining.  Happy trading

    I'd trade places with you in a minute if i could...it's funny you don't know how what you have until you lose it...If you do your research the night before you should be able to set up all your buys for the next day that night...there are not any real surprises that happen on an average day...you are looking at trends...and mergers & aquisitions....that is something you can do when the market is closed...

    I've stayed away from financials and wouldn't get involved untill the economy was more stable. I would try some realtors because things about to hit bottom.
    I like CPSL for steal products JRCC for energy DBC for oil and thats what I have but I'm inexperienced and only go with I understand. Anything I don't understand and I try I lose.
    nice to meet you and hope you're having a nice day

    hey sales, i don't really have a trick. i try not to greedy. if i can

    make $300 to $500 on a stock i sell. although i have many times

    sold too quickly missing out on a bigger profit. but it's all a

    crapp shot.

     I've definitely noticed that the more i research, and the more homework I do the better my portfolio performs. Unfortunately I made some mistakes at the same time the bottom fell out of the market. Just as long as I finish in the green by the end of the contest I'm considering this a moral victory. hah

    Thanks! I'm quite proud of my Cletic heritage. :)

    I really am learning quite a lot. I learn most from my mistake actually. It seems that the market is pretty volitile right now, but i feel I am making the right moves, and that it will be rewarded eventually.

    I have no ego when it comes to taking advice, i set my own goals and try to keep everything in perspective. It's quite interesting to see how certain factors effect, the market. I love to research though, so there is always something to keep my busy.

    Good trading to you!

    Hi Salescatcher!  Thanks for the suggestions.  There is so much to learn here.  I am still figuring the site out.  LOL  I think you are right about the baby turning my world upside down, but I am looking forward to it.  I really want to be a good mom. Good Luck!!
