by sunday night i put in over 70 hours of work to hone my skills and do my research...these analyst at these big firms put in their 9 to 5 and an hour for lunch....they really have no clue what the they are doing...a friend of mine is a vp for merill lynch, i can throw well known symbols at him all day and he couldn't even tell me what price range the stocks are trading in . 95 % of the online traders out there are losing money and taking big risks in this market...this is my 8th year, my first 3 years was hell.....i'm far from perfect but what you will get besides making money off of my calls is learning lessons from the mistakes i made....i had no guidance and my learning curve cost me over 200k. will i make mistakes in the future? of course..we all will....but i have never felt more confident in my trading then i do now. if we stick together and look out for each other here we can continually make money in this market

Sometimes big news comes out in the morning and the stock of a company is called higher in pre-market trading. Analysts raise estimates and ratings BEFORE the stock opens (yet with knowledge of the breaking news) and get full credit for the PRIOR DAY'S CLOSE in evaluating their performance. Talk about a den of thieves. I don't know how they sleep at night.
