actually, SPY puts are a sham...you will learn....its not that you are incorrect about mkts starting a downturn, but you will not be able to ride out the up days when its swinging 30-50% a day.....

funny you would call any of my picks a sham when you have personally made out very well from my picks over past year....when you made 50% on VJET in less than a month a few months ago, was it a sham then?...

you are still thinking about companies on fundamental basis and not technically...I don't care as much about fundamentals, as virtually all stocks and companies will crater during a vicious bear, which implies fundamentals don't matter much at all...doesnt matter if you're google, apple, amazon...they all cratered in 2008...they will all crater once again later this year.

so you are implying VJET and SGLB have no products? Can you back that up??...I like the chart setups as they have clear floors that they must hold, what I don't like is that general mkts need to sell off some more before a bottom is reached.

I bet VJET trade from few months ago was your best trade ever for that timeframe...

Ya know, you've got a big mouth for someone giving out "stock advice" on a bmw forum. You can talk all you want, but it doesn't mean you actually put your money where your mouth is. And I'm not talking about a $5k schwab acct.

Doesn't anyone else realize that it is easy to make money in a bull market? Anyone can feel like a big shot when the overall trend is up. Oh, but you have "called a top" before??? There are so many programs/websites/etc etc that will do all of the charting analysis for you. It doesn't take a genius to type in a ticker and press enter.

Guys, here are two tips from Wall Street. 1. The guy making the most noise knows the least. 2. if it sounds too good then it probably isn't what it seems.


Anyway, down times are good buying opportunities. Whatever your strategies have been, stick to them.

Go back and read some of his previous posts. He has called multiple entry and exit points. Just saying

Go back to the first couple of pages at the beginning of this thread (post #24 and on). Someone calls him out and he evades. It looks like he answers the guy, but he doesn't really

I dunno, when he has targets they usually get hit. I don't know how he does it but they're really accurate.

[schoy]

Um, it's your/our money. Mact's thoughts are just another data point. Do your due diligence. Is he 100% right, all the time? Doubt it (or else he'd be on the Ferrari forum, etc.). Does his writing style rub some people the wrong way? Perhaps. But it's not like he's investing your money. You don't have to listen to him.

He doesn't have to answer anything. This is a forum, he provides his insight and you can choose to note it or disregard it. Really simple.

He's made some great calls in the past and I haven't seen a bad one recently. Do I trade just off his advice, no, but as others have said its data points. Anyone buying stocks just off advice without research is in for whatever the market does to them.

Why attack him it makes no sense. Yes it's a bull market, but he's not promoting dogs or saying aapl is going to $600 next week.

How about you start your own thread, or post your stock advice in this one in a manner that contributes to the thread and just take a chill pill.

[mact3333]

lol...people always criticize me...thats ok, but this is a free message board where anyone can post...nobody is paying anyone for any advice.

people that have been around the trading sites know whats real and whats not....but as I have said a million times, nobody should ever take my trades or anybody else's unless it jives with their own dd.

like I said I still like SGLB(note its a penny stock!)...needs to hold 0.10-0.12 though and only worry is the general mkts not done selling off yet....this can pull down all stocks at once...hope nobody is taking big positions on SGLB cause its a gamble no doubt....if SGLB goes down by 0.02 and this makes you uncomfortable, then you should unload this position cause it won't be for the faint of heart.

Wouldn't surprise me if SPX finds a temporary bottom right at 1750.,,,if it breaks below 1750 and then does dead cat bounce right up to 1750-55, then things gonna get ugly...$RUT better slow down real soon as it might be telling for general mkts.

[mact3333]

one thing I learned about myself today, I actually hope nobody follows my advice on here, cause having multiple people take my trades makes me feel uncomfortable...hate the thought of people losing money because of me...too much responsibility!

Guys that bought SGLB at .12-ish , should set a stop at 0.11-0.12...at 0.14 now.

Guys, go back to watching Cramer!!!!!...seriously.

[Slops]

yeah i bought in VJET at 40 so i'm stuck holding

[PSUSMU]

Anyone holding FB?

It literally creates a whole new social problem as I can either show limited profiles to parents, certain friends, family, etc... or worry that some idiot friend tags me in a picture I don't want to other to see. That social issue doesn't exist if you don't have one. I cancelled my account about a year ago because I realized that I was not only wasting time on Facebook but I was getting angry/annoyed at people (friends, family, etc...) that were posting stupid shit. At some point you realize, hey, I'm choosing to spend time on a website that annoys me. Others will catch on.

Their only saving grace is their plethora of data. Then I realized that half of my information was just incorrect because I was too concerned about co-workers, clients, etc.. finding me so I didn't want some actual information to be searchable. Looking at friends, they are the same. Most don't want to even put their real name!! It's nothing more than MySpace.

Thats one paranoid post if I've ever read one... Did you do stupid stuff that you dont want anybody else to know about?

I look at it from a different standpoint... sure there are pics of me when i was in college drinking my face off and i just laugh at those if i get tagged because honestly, who doesn't have them?

I'm older now with kids, my family lives on a different continent and there's no easier way for me to keep in touch, post pics of my kids for them to see as they grow up. Thats really all i use it for and yeah... there's always going to be those retarded posts by family and friends that drives you up the wall. Its how you deal with it that makes it either tolerable or not. I hide that stupid shit so i dont have to see it again.

I can understand your points... but I also don't put where I live other than a city and don't broadcast where I'm going until I've come back. You don't have to worry to much if you just don't post that often. #tinfoilhat.

Good to see such strong "Technical Analysis" of FB. I'll make sure to sell my shares.

I mean, that's their business. See you and MySpace 2.0 at the bottom...

Hey guys, I have a decent brokerage account that was gifted to me in a trust. As of right now all of it is in JNJ which I have received some nice dividend payments from, but I am interested in getting my hands dirty and (obviously) trying to get in on some solid growth.

As opposed to just asking for advice, I instead am asking for any recommendations on books or periodicals that can get me better acquainted with the market, terms, and how to buy/sell. Advice on what to buy is appreciated (i have been looking over this thread and find all of your knowledge to be very interesting), but I will get more out of understanding what goes into purchasing decisions than just heeding the advice of internet strangers.

Anyway, I have 2 books that I am just starting to get into now - A Random Walk Down Wall Street (Malkiel) and The Intelligent Asset Allocator (Bernstein) (which is currently WAAAY over my head).

Any other advice aside from books and periodicals (maybe you could also suggest a good financial investing forum) would be much appreciated.

And a last question - If you had millions in the bank (not me) and could ONLY CHOOSE ONE, would you focus more on Real Estate or the Stock Market for financial gain?

Thanks and looking forward to popping up on this thread.

NEM might be nearing a bottom with this massive selling.

As noted last Wed, we will be seeing 1730...

Set stops for break even for SGLB near 0.12...no need to fight downtrend in general mkts...I would set stops at VJET near break-even near 34-ish too.

1730 will set a temporary floor, but if it breaks through and bounces back up to that redline watch out, selling will be intense then.

If 1730 holds, then its business as usual.

[mact3333]

Oh, but before we get to 1730 we gotta do that temporary stop at 1750 don't we??????

Tvix up nearly 70% since I mentioned it. I should've acted on my own hunch
