You stated:
< The economy and company fundamentals have VERY LITTLE (5% or so) to do with STOCK PRICES... and 95% in INVESTOR PSYCHOLOGY- whether investors think stocks will go up or down... and likewise, the FAST and EAAAAAAAAAAAASY MONEEEE is 95% STRATEGY and only 5% LUCK...>
so hold the phone one second Tracy.. The fact that your very bullish, can one conclude based on the above statement that you believe this economic downturn is complete b.s. and is simply herd mentallity/psychology and once it shifts back to reality its going to be a-ok, bull market set to start running again??
ok.. thats about enough of this weekend pass time.. youll be gone soon enough, I can safely speculate on that.. but you really need to understand shorting because its apparent that you havnt a clue, and I honestly believe that if you dont understand short selling- you WILL fail.. Dosnt mean you have to short, but you need to understand what other forces are working for or against you.. You made a mention that Anthony and his sheep (your words, not mine) shorted AMZN and got destroyed.. Sure, if Tony shorted at 10, and it bounced to 11 that day, and if they were day trading and covered for a loss.. sure.. but take some time to learn and youll realize he was shorting the stock for ages now.. Matter of fact, a bounce of AMZN to $20 probably wouldnt even justify him adding to his position.. and in most instances, shorters who take a longer term approach like most do would actually welcome the rise..
Where were you when these folks laid out this strategy with stocks like ZIXI, AMZN, ETYS, PALM?? Shorts isolate the trash companies, particularly the ones that meatballs like you play on a daily basis, position themselves little by little and just wait for the music to stop.. THATS slow and EASY money.. eventually builds wealth..
When I first started investing, it was unfortunate that I ran into clowns like you who successfully helped take money from my pocket with your hype hype rah rah. At the time, 80% of what was read on these threads was trash and self- proclaimed gurus.. People who are new to this 'game' have no idea what resources are at their finger tips so I feel its important to indentify people like you and give folks a fair shake in deciding whos advice to take. Tom Hua, Shark, Anthony, Velo, Jane (changes her name too often so I just stick with what I know) and many many MANY others can educated a newbie beyond anything seen on CNBC or read in a book.. THey are successful investors who paid their dues, and have found a common bond with other people on s/i and offer so much wisdom, its priceless.. People like you thwart those efforts and confuse the green newbies.. and thats very sad..
You wont earn anyones respect with rah rah cheerleading.. Spend some time here and share some of your moves with us.. Im still curious what your holding going into Monday? Share with us.. Maybe im wrong? If you have serious value to contribute, by all means shut me up.. wouldnt be the first time :) |
