With discipline and consistency, good traders and investors will always make money regardless where the market goes.

That's the name of the game. I just have a fondness for finding good little stocks under $10 and watching them take off. It's less stressful for a six-figure portfolio than playing the $200 gators short down to double digits again.

And for 1DT, no it's not a lottery. I never play lotteries because I can't apply any analysis to increase the odds. The market lets me do that as much as I like.

Not only that, which has more chances to make a profit??

selling short from the top when a stock gains 50 to 60% in one day, or buying something and waiting for years to amke a profit, that is if does not turn out to be CBTSY or KRY or CYSP or KTEL ??

Come on Dale . you gotta agree with me on this one: the higher and faster they fly, the harder they fall:)

Short @ 170 X 1000 shares requires a deposit of 51,000 bucks

?

Could you explain this? I've always worked under the assumption that shorting requires exactly the same inital cash outlay as going long. 50% typically or as high as 100% depending on the margin requirements of the broker for that stock.

What am I missing?
