I have 22 consecutive profitable trades of 15% or better. How is this possible? Every day there are hundreds of stocks setting new highs, no matter what happens in the overall market. Many of these stocks are still at very reasonable valuations. Afraid of buying stocks at their highs? Think of it this way: a new high is really a future floor for companies with solid financial underpinnings. Quantitative momentum modeling makes it easy to identify stocks that can continue this upward momentum trend. Why does this happen? It's really very simple..ask me about what investors and cows have in common. I am $$$ MR. MARKET $$$. I AM HUGE!!! Bring me your finest meats and cheeses. You can join in on the fun.

Sisterwin,
I must apologize for my one time spanking. But do you feel that you are a better trader over the long run for it? Some people don't even realize it but they love to get spanked, that's why they keep doing the same things over an over again. You seem to have become aware of the fact that you can make yourself into a better trader by remaining open minded an absorbing from what's around you.
No need to apologize for my spanking... I am one that enjoys a good spanking every now and then. Hoping not when it comes to money..... want nothing but praises. I am willing to make my mistakes, hopefully not expensives ones. I have put stops on all my stocks. Feel free to step in any time you see the need, lost my ego out at sea and smart enough to know when I dont know. After the frist of the yr. I plan on selling off about 300 shares of Ge and use that money to for trading. The Ge was an inherentance with a cost base of about 25. I will be asking alot of questions during my endevor. My plan is to stick with a plan like the "huge one", 15-17% gain then sell. My gains will go towards my "Mortage fund". SO, spank me spank me.. when you see the need. I am using this time wisely by learning about ema/sma...trends with charts..reading books and getting to understand the game. Follow this site daily and read articals. I am looking forward to next Year and maybe by the end of next year I can play in your games and help all make some money.

Sisterwin,
You sound like a very practical person who plans her moves. That's a great trait. Keep an open mind an absorb as much as you can from what's circulating around here an apply it to your own strategys. #1. Always set stops an always honor your stops. Once you get used to using them an integrate them into your own strategys and risk they will become much more positive and alot less negative with getting stopped out of positions against your wishes. It's all part of the learning curve. By the end of next year you'll be way ahead of the game from where you're at now.
Speaking of GE. My wife's mother left us a pile of it 15 years ago. I put it into a dividend re-investment plan and haven't touched it since then. It's amazing how quickly it will multiply with the splits and dividend re-investment.
Good luck and happy holidays to you.

DRIPS are a very nice way to invest long-term...especially for young children...My dad bot some for my son when he was born and for us when I married my first wife...I think I may have posted some specifics a long time ago...so I won't post them again...But here is some info:
DRIP stands for Dividend (sometimes Direct) ReInvestment Plan. The basic idea is that an investor can purchase shares of a company directly from that company without paying any commission. This is most commonly done in a traditional DRIP by having all dividends paid on shares immediately used to purchase more of the same shares (i.e.,Read More

Doug,
On the first url is that you where is says, "ask Doug"? I've been into the dividend re-investment thing for close to 30 years. Everything we own in our retirement accounts and the blue chip portfolios are hooked up to a DRIP. When we purchase, I only actually buy after a split or when they are at a very low point, is commission free an all the dividends get plowed back into the stocks. The only negative point about the DRIPs is that the dividends get re-invested at the price of the stock when the dividends are issued which could be when the stock is at a high point but it all averages out. We own stocks that we have been re-investing the dividends in for 30 years. That's 30 years of commission free trades in a decent number of stocks that we haven't ever touched or taken any dividends or money out of them. It's amazing of how it will multiply. If someone would have said that to me 30 years ago I would never have believed them. I just lucked out by getting started in it because of my wife and her mother and my wife wouldn't let me ever touch any of it which is the only reason it's still there.
LOL...I saw that too...But it is a different Doug...My name is Doug Gregory

Was just watching GAC and I see Big Blue Note is # 1 this week...Kinda prophetic...I changed the words...The title is "Big Blue Chip" now...LOL
See that big blue chip,
Over there on the counter?
You don't wanna read that thing, man,
It's a real get-you-downer.
But don't you dare say nothin' else,
Bad about it: it's gone.
No, no, no, no, don't, don't throw it away,
'Cause tonight, I might need it.
It gets real lonely around here at night some times,
An' I have to re-read it.
Besides, you can show it to the boys downtown,
They won't believe that it's gone.
There used to be a time I was all the S & P ever wanted.
All the investor that it ever needed.
I come home to find, just like that, it's up an' vanished.
An' the only thing it left behind for me:
Is this big blue chip,
Folded up in my pocket.
Yeah, don't laugh: it's been two months;
I still got it.
Sometimes I have to read the sucker twice,
Just to make sure I ain't forgot that it's gone.
You know, my psychiatrist said:
"Tell me, what do you see,
"When you look at these charts,
"Of, er, reds an' greens?"
You know, I looked at 'em all,
But they all looked to me like big blue chips.
There used to be a time I was all the market ever wanted.
All the investor that it'll ever need.
I come home to find, just like that, it's up an' vanished.
An' the only thing that's left to do for me:
Is stand high on this cliff,
Overlooking the sea.
With my big blue chip aeroplane,
That I just set free.
An' I'm gonna wait here a few more minutes,
An' if it don't come back to me:
You guessed it: it's gone.
Crash landing.
Bye bye, baby.

Did you notice that URBN and OSUR both filled their gaps today?.... I was looking for that to happen.... I'm ready to jump back on both those tomorrow dude.

OSUR will gap up tomorrow no problem. Retail hurt by too many discounts....CWTR may be better than URBN though.
Good p/b on Naz today...'bout time. Many recent strong ones pulled back much more than the market...will make for some good bargains coming up...Doug
