TA vs. FA ..... a contest

[spikefader]

LOL jiesen. I'm stunned. Your TA is clearly the winner in the 6 hours of trading. LOL. Only problem is there isn't much to differentiate your TA from the factor of luck. I was actually expecting you'd take a stance, draw a line in the sand, buy your picks, and hold till close of business tomorrow, confident that your TA would stand the test of 2 full days. Instead, it's become simply a daytrading competition, exits dependant on the % increase you've got, and whether it's enough to beat the TA side by close of market tomorrow. I guess I wouldn't question what you're doing if it was something truly impressive and worthy of protecting, like 20% lead or something. But shutting down business at 2% profit is a bit of a farce, and more about winning than proving that FA actually has an edge over TA in a competition setting.

Anyway, it's all good, and congrats on your lead.

Yeah, 2.8% in a day is a huge task. haha

SKI or dmk,
VPHM minor channel long, tweezer on 1 min 19.92. You want to do your TA on it and see if it's worth a shot?

See.... I was right!

This is more a US vs THEM team competition than a TA vs FA competition. Now stop whining Spike and take your a$$-whoopin like a man. heeheehee...

Maybe the real TA vs FA competition can start next week.... When we establish some RULES!

[spikefader]

I'm completely lost. Ray, e-mail me a beer or two. I think the contest has started. This must be the first reality stock trading web site. I will now just be quiet and observe.

LOL.........your captain is a mad "fundamentalist"

[Lyehopper]

Maybe so.....

LOL.........your captain is a mad "fundamentalist"

But he's still our Cap'n .... We're behind ya 110% Jeisen! .... Just as long as we're winning.... Let us lose and WATCH OUT!....

Hey Billie Joe, in order to make this a really GOOD reality thread, a mutiny would surely spice things up don't ya think?LOL

[billyjoe]

Lye,
I tried to get New-born to jump ship but so far no luck. Follow the light New-born .... the truth shall set you free. The way I figure it "fun" as in fundamental or "tech" as in wreck.

If we're to win this contest we need to keep a diversified portfolio .... I'd like to see 10 stocks minimum. A day trading mentality will lose this thing for us.... QUICK!

How long does the contest last anyway? 1 week? 1 month?

As I understand it, the contest runs for 2 days. This is why I decided to bail at a 3% gain. It's enough, in my mind, to trounce the TA team- as fundamental a decision as it gets. Besides, I believe selling at that time has turned out to be a good move so far, as our gains have been locked in, and some of the picks have pulled back a bit already.

If you want to have a shot at running this ship tomorrow, just say the word!

[Lyehopper]

ONLY 1.3% in 1.5 hours!?

lol, ya. But hey, it looks more impressive than it really is...... only 1.3% below where you called it short.

SPIKE thats about a 1,118% annualized return! We would have taken it, right Jiesen! Good sound fundamental trade if you ask me.

[billyjoe]

and the 2 day contest was to give the short attention span TAers an advantage
