BUY?? I don't understand how he can think that - all those TA things he says to look at are NEGATIVE on stockcharts stuff if I am interpreting them correctly. What does his instant analyst stuff say when you plug BUD in? Makes no sense at all to me - I am mostly cash now except goog short - I heard on winning on wall street some guy talked about vlccf and the WIZ said it was a great buy - tanker company so I may check that out tomorrow. It's fun right now, but it takes so much time to follow all this stuff long term, just so much easier to stuff it in a vangaurd bond fund or stock fund. Maybe I will give it a whirl again trading 5-10 stocks myself.

Hehe, didn't really want to get sucked back into all this trading/finance stuff but my girlfriend moved away (going to try and be interior designer in NY city - can you believe that sh*t?) so I guess now that my social life is officially over I can come back full time to SI with my free time. Ok I spent part of today scouring the net and finding all the radio stations with financial shows - I listened at ray lucia - seemed OK, market wrap with moe ansari - again not bad, winning on wall street with the WIZ - seems like a good guy - investor's edge - not bad but this is the first time I have ever listened to that show and he had secretary choi (sp) on and she was pimping bush's privatization and I didn't care much for that - and then he talked about not being MEAN to analysts or saying bad things about other people - and I can FEEL what he means - Like the whole karma thing, but I want to be entertained while I lose my ARSE in the market and phil is just so damn funny slamming bortoroma and the specialists and I didn't get the same entertainment value from "investor's edge" but he did make some good points. I listened at the wize trade guys and the stock doctor guys too - again no real big negatives but they just weren't as entertaining to me as phil. So I am gonna stick with him for the trading education for now (recognizing he really blew it on BUD) - and investor's edge and the WIZ from winning on wall street - those 3 along with puplava over at financial sense will make great listening on my MP3 player - I plan to check out the financial podcasts that seem good and entertaining - do you know of any good financial podcasts? As for the eadirect stuff - I use to use etrade back in my tokyo joe days - never had the fundage for the expensive level 2 stuff back in 1996-97 - use stockcharts and yahoo finance if I want to do some quick research - eadirect gives some good entry level - like I said used the free demo to watch XOM and it was good easy stuff and simple - but trades are 14.95 - I am in scottrade right now - and I think you can get thier level 2 stuff for 10 bucks a month and only 7 dollar trades - so I will check into that. questrade.com someone recommended this over at the dark force short thread but I think they want 250 a month and that is lots more than the 10 bucks a month at scottrade if I got my figures right. So now I got my audio to listen too on MP3 and 1250 AM radio locally, have to read some more books, read more SI, more brookings institute papers and economic journals, keep laughing with the mogambo at 321gold and crying with richard benson at sfgroup - read more coxe and hoye and see how much can be absorbed. Long term multi year fundamentally long XOM, short GOOG - short term mostly cash right now in my trading account with large core 401K fundage in vanguard bond funds and international value funds. Sold my home last year and just renting for now. (dumb girlfriend wanted me to buy a house for us to live in - ARE YOU NUTS!) maybe that's why she left - BWAAHAHA!
