iKE

now don't get so defensive..we are far from "always right" i take losses almost everyday..

while your thinking in the marco sense my friend..i am not..

i have completely changed my overall thinking and trading style..you and others here know me for years..i was a bull almost exclusively..it killed me Ike...

no more bias for me...no more, never again..

while people should invest..i say why now??? ok put 1/3 or half your investment funds to work in the big cap techs..but dive in here?? not a chance...

this is not over yet...not by a long shot...

so while we trade each day like the good "daytraders we are"...we make many mistakes..many..as of this moment for this week.,.i am dead even...made money earlier and lost it over the last 2 days..today will make my week<g>...

i have no regrets Ike, that i changed my trading style and forward looking thinking...i want to be a follower of the markets via my charts...i'll play caboose on this train..

you can be the engine..but not me...

the Ideas Thread has been a beacon of markets inner most thinking..never change it..no reason to do that..but the carnage out there for the last 1 1/2 years has destroyed almost all investors...it's been nothing short of devastating...

but always do your thing Ike..i love to read you, because i know you, and understand you..

keep up what your doing..and never stop

best

OJ

For me I make money and I lose some, but I make it with lot of pain and lot of effort

Ahhh. The crux of the market, and life. And learning from it all along the way. Long, short, swing, position, scalp, let me know when you find someone who does it (learn or profit) without pain or effort, please. They deserve a tip of the hat.
