Great thread, "she said"! Thanks for posting your trades. We all know that losing trades are infrequent for you :), but when you do have a loser, post that as well. Usually we can learn more from the losers than the winners. For everyone, "www.tscn.com" is a great site to use for weekly, daily and intraday charts if you want to examine trading action with hindsight (I use it to try to see what traders like "she said" were seeing when they put in the orders). From their main page, click on "graphs" at the upper left. When it prompts you for a symbol, to get a Canadian stock you must prefix the symbol with the exchange initial. eg: Repap on the TSE would be t.rpp NRT on Vancouver would be v.nrt And finally, don't be too hard on the Nasdaq! Sure, the BB stocks are s*t, but they aren't actually traded under the auspices of the NASD. So if a promoter says "Nasdaq Bulletin Board" he got the BB part right only, and is just saying "Nasdaq" to make it sound more respectable. To actually trade on the official Nasdaq requires a certain level of financial cleanliness - and there are a lot of low-priced stocks that are* on the real Nasdaq, with volume/volatility to boot. The market is more transparent now since a Level II screen shows the different bids/offers of the market makers.
