merry christmas and a happy healthy new year....

Thanks for being my buddy.  Things have really been rough in the market this week.  I'm on vacation in Austin, TX and haven't been really keeping up with my portfolio and things have gone down.  Of course, I'm set for Congress to sign the bill so that my stocks will go up.!!! Anyway, if I can ever be of assistance, let me know.

xthsteve~ i wasn't able to find much out about the stock you asked me about...so therefore i really can't make any informed opinion...sorry i am not much help on this one...Happy Trading buddy!!!

Hi xthsteve,
We are checking all portfolios and when there is a delay in a price of stock our audit team checks the portfolios and makes sure that any trades that are delayed due to compression do go through. It's just a matter of the value you see matching the time of trades.

Well so far what im hearing, getting out early is actualy something i would prefer then anyone staying in a position to long and it going negative. But i am a very tech trader i prefer to look at the charts i might hear a name thrown up in the media or from a friend and i take a look at the chart. Sometimes its not worth it and i dont see a way where i can enter and it be profitable or i can short or buy mostly short now days. However i would like to know how you choose your stocks and what makes you enter into a position in the market. Its hard for me to start and give advice when i dont know how much you know about U.S equities. But my first advice is you need to learn the simply signals or trend to look for in the charts. For example support, resistance, wedges, and channels, and indicators like the macd and keltner bands, and moving averages. But the only thing i can say now is dont enter into a postion unless there was a specific signal that put u into the market and you know what to look for to exit the market. Lastly i have been tradeing futures, and currencys and cfds since i was fifteen and the most important thing that helped me become profitable is technicals, knowing what to look for in the charts. lol im only seventeen turning eighteen in september so you dont get the idea that ive been trading for decades. Hope to hear from you soon!

Alright I think i figured out the problem with the no trades being posted! look at my permanent portfolio. Because i dont have a 50k contest thing.

Hey! i happend to notice your portfolio at the top of my banner -46,591.98 thats a real beating  but not a surprise i think the number now days is 90% of traders lose money in stocks. Well anyways i wanted to offer a hand out to help you with your investing or learning (As well as Derricka) i read his comment as well. I dont know evertything when it comes to stock. Just thought i test out my know how from other markets and see how it effects me trading U.S equities. I prefer Futures, Currency, and CFD's trading much more volitile and not as slow as U.S equities, which results to greater returns IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING. Have a great day.

Love the picture of the kids!  Looks like you are struggling with your portfolio.  Don't worry, I have been where you are at, and it was the greatest learning!  I spent three contests in the bottom ranks, and almost a year of learning before I was able to do better.  Hope next week is better!  Have a great weekend!!
