elf, I like that one. You should copyright it. This way when we see it on someone's quote page is won't be credited to that guy named Anonymous like all those others we see. I'm going a little bit nutzo today. I'm wearing out my calculator trying to figure out how much I lost this year for my taxes. I've been at it most of the day and I'm only up to August... I don't think I want to trade individual stocks ever again. I'm beginning to see the logic in simply trading QQQ's or index stocks or options. Usually when I guessed right this past year, it happened as the Naz was going up. Then my huge losses always seemed to hit when the Naz was heading down or because of some related bad news related to the company or related sector. Too much going against me. Had I just traded QQQ my losses would not have been as bad and timing the movements would have been a lot easier that those other momentum tech favorites... There is much more available to help determine the direction of an entire index than just a specific stock. I noticed a few stocks I don't even remember trading. One company I had to look up to see who they were and what they did. What a moron... -Anon E.
