Tomorrow Tomorrow It's Only A Day Away.Maybe I should be on THE AMERICAN IDOL Show Instead of the stock market. What do you guys think?

[B.J]

I'm not too happy with this week either, but over the last two, I'm slightly up. I should be happy about that. If I figure this whole candlestick thing out, I'll do even better from now on.

One more day, but looks like I'll be handing it over to Micky Mouse.

Here's a great book written in a plain and simple format that gives a great explanation of candlesticks and how to use them in analysis and finding setups.
It's on sale right now at Stockcharts.com for $22.50 reduced from $37.50. The author's name is Gregory L. Morris and the name of the book is " Candlestick Charting Explained. This is the latest edition. It's definitely worth owning as a reference guide an educational tool.

Domination

I am competing for largest negative return .....wasnt that the contest this week?????????????????????????????????

[billyjoe]

greb,

If you want to go for the anti-Mr Market record of 65 losers in a row, I'll read your thread with great interest, but I don't think you can do it. You'd be like Lex Luthor to Mr. Market's Superman.

billyjoe

p.s. they'd have to hit a 15% loss to qualify

Grebnet, I think I have you beat this week (for last place). You know, penthouse to the outhouse thing. And the way this market whipsaws, that makes sense when one goes in with the same pix every week

[B.J]

You guys won't see MANC in my portfolio next week. I was pissed that I sold it at 10 this week after it saw 12 (measly 3% gain), but I'm glad I did now (6.85 after hours)

[billyjoe]

The results are in! Not a stellar week. Only 9 picks made money out of 28. Four selections made over 3% gains while 15 lost greater than 4%. Final stats :
