Yes, what a true genius! But why today? Why not tomorrow? It hasn't actually hit 27.50 yet.
I don't see any reason why it shouldn't keep going down. Just interested. I see a little buying propping it up right now. Is that YOU peanuts??? LOL River

Hey guys, while you're BS'n about saddam and war and disputing religions, I am busy showing you how I make money in the markets. Have fun with whatever you're doing, but Ernie, your forum is turning into a monster. Not so huge...

I disagree..political debates are maintained tidily in separate threads. If you choose to ignore them, please do so.

You are huge, Peanuts, but I agree with Ernie: if you don't like the topics, ignore the thread. We need you around here and I hope you don't get discussed with my harping. I'll try to keep it to a minimum.

Sectors

Peanuts,
How do you decide which sectors you are going to play?

peanut...you're just lucky which will be your downfall because you will confuse luck with trading accumen. But enjoy it will it lasts....if you can keep in the markets for a decade or so, you'll eventually be able to discern between luck and skill. And if you do your arrogance will also diminish and you'll make even more money.

Tatnic,
I do not think Peanuts is just lucky. The guy is good. Very, very good.
He works at it; he is young; and I think that by the time he's 40 he's going to be a multi-millionaire trader. I am sure he'll take a few hits between now and then, but you'll be reading his articles in a trader magazine someday. I really believe this.

Peanuts,
How do you decide which sectors you are going to play?

First, I do tons of screens and scans. I get a list of stocks which meet some criteria which I make standard for all of my possible investments.

Second, I review each and every one of them and categorize them into their respective sectors.

Third, I create a Yahoo! portfolio for that sector and record, what I feel is, a loose fair value estimate for each share. I use this as my "buy" price in the tracking of the portfolio, so I get an idea of current value and my estimated fair value.

Fourth, I follow the news and different sector watching sites, and determine which sector is moving the fastest. Many times, however, I can just look at my various sectors and see which one is advancing the most.

Fifth, I look back to my Yahoo! portfolio for that sector and review the stocks in my watchlist. I base the stock decision on a few factors...
- P/E ratios
- Mkt Cap
- Avg Vol
- ROE
- % from 52 week highs
- Technical Analysis

Sixth, I form a plan and trade it.

Thanks for the kind words in your last message. I'm lucky in the sense that I have people to support me and not try to break me down.

Tatnic..in this forum, bragging is an acceptable mode of communication and when someone makes money, the appropriate thing to say is:

"Congrats"..

Well done, Peanuts.

doubled up on TWGP today

I added to my TWGP position here at 31.5. That makes it a 3% position for me now. It's probably one of the strongest $$MM stocks right now, and I'm glad to be able to get it on sale today.
