The times they are a changing. Very much so. The irony of it all is that there seems to be this belief in the media that the "day-traders" were washed out of the market during the past few months. I cringe when I hear this because, if anything, it is the buy-and-hold types that have lost and lost BIG during this time. Most of the traders here know the importance of stops and limit their downside on bad trades. I don't think the media really understand that trading implies selling. "Selling" is the big faux pas word in the investment world. They just don't believe in it. Period. Seems to be that the big losers this go-around were the big buy-and-hold institutional investors who got stuck with SVN at $300, RIM at $250, etc. in a very high stakes poker game. And so this thread lives on...with many of the same traders still here, and raring to trade. Baystreet should give it's collective head a shake and ask themselves who's really fared better this year. In CMS at $51.90. WN P.S. Did somebody here give Dan McCartey (G&M) my name?
