Lyehopper's Roundup....
As many of you know I started a Metals Mfg Company (CNC Machine Shop) way back in 1985.... That's my real job.... But that ain't my passion.
My passion?.... I am a beef cattle farmer in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of South Western Virginia.... NO I DID NOT SAY "WEST VIRGINIA."... I own a little 470 acres place that I call "Lyehopper Hollow Farm." I lease another 1,000+- acres that I also farm. I have one full time employee and a few part timers during "hay season."... I raise commercial Black Angus and Black Simmental influenced beef cattle. How do you make money raising cows you might ask?... Well, it's simple, You buy low and sell high.... Or you buy high and sell higher.... Or you develop a group of brood cows that (if fed properly) will have superior milk production and mothering instincts .... you breed them to good production bulls and hope they raise you a very fat and healthy calf that weighs as much as possible at weaning time.... 600 pounds (six weight) @ eight months old is a good target. I sell my calves at a VA State graded sale at a place we call.... The liveSTOCK market. Get it? YEAH!!!! Farmers buy and sell stock all the time.... Now on to the stockSTOCK market.... I have traded stocks since 1988. I have learned the hard way fellas and I am in this thing to retain earnings and grow my wealth. I work way too hard to invest foolishly and I do not become emotionally attached to any stock (and that goes for cattle too)....
The purpose of this thread is to showcase stocks that I like. Many of the stocks I will mention on this thread are ones that I actually trade. Those who know me here know that I trade both long and short. So both long and short trades will be featured.
Now I like $$$Mr Market$$$ and I am the first to admit that he is HUUUUGE in the stock picking world.... BUT.... I plan to start my own track record of HUUUGE gainers right here on this thread.
My strategy is a little different from Ernie's.... Here's what I plan to do....
(1) I will be trading long and short
(2) I will NOT hold my losers indefinitely.
(3) I will attempt to trade stocks with decent volume.
(4) I will use TA to time my trades entry and exit.
(5) I will ask for advice from YOU on many trades before I make my move.
(6) I will not limit myself to 15% gain.... I may take more.... Or Less.
(7) I will use criteria that I have developed to identify my plays.
(
I will post a log of my trades here for all to see.
(9) I will go in and out of the same stock on occasion for separate trades.
Above all I want this to be a fun thread. Feel free to speak your mind and post anything here you'd like.

And I do hate to put a TA downer on your first pick dude; so I apologize!! I'll throw it at ya just as a headsup and I'll await a bust of those patterns before I get warm and fuzzy about it hehe
