$$$MR. MARKET$$$'s Personal Homepage and Stock Portfolio

[sisterwin2]

Had an idea .. what if there was a place for us newcomers to market could ask our questions. I'm learning alot from senior members, but i think our own thread for junior members would be less intimidating .. a place to share our questions and our trades?
Senior members could visit and offer their opinions.
Just a suggestion ... don't know if you feel it's necessary, being that this site is SO user friendly. But, still many are new to the market and maybe more junior members would post their questions and concerns ...
Karel?

I have never been tease or made fun of for my questions. I have been told when I made a mistake but only with the best of intentions. This is not aol. board.... these guys are really great.

Q's

Have you ever considered upping the 15% cuttoff in bullish times when there is increased volatility? Like say you are living in 1997 and you think that the internet will be huge so you buy some CMGI and wait for a double. Have you ever considered a shorting strategy? Also, why do you not have a stop loss? I noticed that BEL is down 81% from when you bought it. Finally, I am interested in beginning to lift weights. I am 31 years old. Do you have any suggestions of books that I might read that are informative on the subject?

Mr. Market,
I'm the last person you'd ever go to for investment advice, but WWE has got to be the perfect stock for you. Just a couple day's ration of meat and cheese money could make you even wealthier than you already are.

81 winners & how many losers

Hello to All
This is my first post.
I find this forum when researching the net about a software, but looks like this forum have some fun.
Thank you for sharing your page, congratulations for 81 winners, but you never sold the losers, you keep losers with 78%, if you keep the loser's forever and sold only the winners, of course you have only winners.
Your strategy may be good but you may have to sale the losers when down like 8 or 10%, and my question is: any of the winners sold, went down 10% during the time you own them?

Happy trading with a lot of fun

Many of my winners were down lower than 10% during the time I owned them. Why do I have to sell a stock when it goes down 10%?

Selling rules

You don't have to sale when the stock go down 10%, I sold any loser if go lower than 10%, lessons I learned on 2001 when the market went down, sometimes take years to get back the 10%, how many years you have to wait for your stocks under 50% get back to cost price?. Just my opinion.

It's been backtested on this forum. My total returns would have been lower if I had sold all of the stocks I owned when they went down 10%. Instead of focusing on the few losers I have, look how many winners I have booked. I am HUGE!

Mr. Market,
I know Pete Seeger is a left wing pinko commie , but Springsteen sure makes his songs sound good. Were you in Asbury Park this morning?

Mr.Market,
I'd like to , but I can't get out of the house now , maybe next year.
I've never been to New Jersey. Am I missing anything?

Speaking of Springsteen, I made sure to buy myself a Bruce Springsteen "signature series" t-shirt when I was at the Hard Rock Cafe in Paris. Springsteen has more talent than anyone of the self proclaimed thugs that are putting out the trash that they call music these days.
