mothers' day>>> i am grateful to be here to tell you all this story.

about an hour ago james and i went down to the nolichucky river and got some button fern to go in the rocks by the koi pond. everything was perfect....BEAUTIFUL day, river was awesome.....then seemingly out of nowhere a drunk driver almost ran me down when i was on the side of the road looking at the fern. he had his beer turned up guzzling it and was heading right for me...i had no where to go. i screamed and he lowered his drink just in time to see me....grrrrrrrr

for god sake, people....DON'T DRIVE DRUNK!!!!!!!! I CAME WITHIN 3 FEET OF DEATH on this gorgeous mothers day.

summer is coming...stay alert, sub!

i know summer is coming.

i know summer is tough for all traders and lethal for beginners as volume is low and pickins are slim.

experienced traders will take 10% and move on to the next one and never look back.

beginners will wait for the moon unfortunately and they will lose their butts. it seems the moon goes to sleep in the summer.

cash is king especially in the summer market imo and in my experience fwiw.

taking paychecks from trading:

i must admit i am slow sometimes..lol...for years i thought that i could only withdraw money from izone ACH twice a month. i have no clue where that info came from that was lodged in my little brain.

i had profit in my account earmarked for withdrawal but then OMG! a runner! jump in!! lol...that earmarked money went right back to the market.

now, all these years later i finally got around to ASKING izone and i found that i can withdraw ACH every day if i want to with no extra charge..LOL duhhhhhhhhhhhhh dummy!

so this week i withdrew 50% of my profits right into my bank account daily...OMG! talk about fun!! weeeeeeeeeeeee...lol...i don't care if it's $50 or $500, it's going to my bank account before my pie in the sky brain freaks and gives it back to the market POOF!

i am so DUMB sometimes..lol

i wonder what the paid promotors posting on IHUB really do to our community.

i wonder how many small traders have vanished in disgust as a result. sure, we are all responsible for our own trades but it is clear to me that clever pumpers are very good at what they do and it does imo have an affect on the minds/actions of inexperienced traders.

i wonder about ethics regarding pump n dump people. we are all here to make money for ourselves first and some of us enjoy seeing others make money 2nd.

i wonder if i am a pumper/dumper since i post on my plays when i buy and keep my mouth shut when i sell most of the time. i always answer honestly if someone asks but it seems that posting sells sometimes creates a selloff no matter who the poster is. i never want to cause anyone to lose money or to influence others either way. when i buy something it's obviously because i think it's going up and that's the only motive i have for posting my buys. it is simply my way of saying i think this one has found bottom so i'm in. if others buy as well then the stock should go up....does that make me a pumper? maybe.

i feel very good about my trading these days. selling too early has become a real pleasure. the pain of holding too long was awful!

it's nice to see that this old dawg actually can learn a few new tricks :)

designer>> LOL


As for the astrological observations: well i'll say libras make terrible investors as i seem to always be giving advice to them! I'm always telling my libran friends when to buy and sell; amusing to see them lose money when they don't take my advice. As a sagittarian, I'll say we would make excellent stock brokers--we love promoting, giving advice, selling, thinking ahead; sometimes we get caught up in future profit potential and forget little details like "do i have enough money to buy this stock today?" or we're so impatient we forget why we bought the stock in the first place! Virgo's love TA; capricorns make excellent investors but usually buy a stock based on someone else's tip; pisces--forget it unless it's real estate!; aquarians are addicted to buying stocks but can't pull the sell trigger. I will report more of my findings later, lol.


i am libra: i can find bottoms that are ready to bounce with no problem but my problem is/was SELLING! lol it took a long time to learn to sell too early and i still tend to snuggle too long with some of the story stocks.

my husband is pisces: you are right! he traded the IRA acct for a few years and finally turned it over to me when it was down about 1000%. it is up 500% since i took it over....i made a few lucky trades.

have fun trading green!

well my "moaners" theory has overall been profitable.

however, there were some dogs. I am attempting to follow lowtrade's advice (and not buy anything under .01--although if i do, i won't spend more than $300 and i make certain the longs are howling, the dilution has stopped and lowtrade's 9 months's of stalled plotlines are in effect.)

I am happy to take a double. Seeing if i can double my initial (starting jan 07) pink budget of $5000 every month for example--i'm up 50% and if bign pans out--i'll be happy!)

I've made far more money on my tsx picks over all--tembec: in@.90 currently nearing $3.00; too.v was a double (likely a triple plus before the end of the year) NCR.v i tripled. I usually invest 10X the amount in a tsx.v stock than i would in a pinkie. However, it's interesting to note that some ppl are making a ton of money in pinks--I pay special attention to strongus, stock lobster, lowtrade, pink lawyer and a few others: they all move in and out of stocks quickly--maybe 2 weeks max stay in a stock. Yes i made some mistakes last year--going long on aurc, eqbm, dkgr, spzi and others. Interesting to note i've made very little money with that strategy.

I too have problems of when to sell: i am very impatient and impulsive; i tend to buy first, research later then fall in and out of love with the stock; basically i know the rules and how to make money but i'm rebellious and tend to ignore the rules! Much to my broker's delight. Lol.

How's your trading going?

tia,

[Bunny]

lol we know better but sometimes we have to remind ourselves.

[sublime]

right!

[Bunny]

double ditto g/f.. we don't like being red.. ;)

[sublime]

ditto!! reminder to self.. don't buy stocks that people pump to buy in hopes that it may go up! just stick with the ones on my watch list that are going up - that seems to work best for me.

i was doing well sticking with my plan until this week. i wonder where my brain went.

my port is down 50% from last week.

GHTI = i played that one really bad. i have no one to blame but myself. i didn't sell into strength thursday. i held overnight and got my rear handed to me on a freaking platter.

i have 14 positions in my port.....duhhhhh....i think i lost focus.

ok...laugh at myself and move on....geeeeze dummy!!! lol

[sublime]

ty and to you too :)

[Bunny]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ms vera..

[sublime]

I WILL SELL INTO THE GAP UP EVEN IF I THINK THE COMPANY HAS A CURE FOR CANCER!

[originunknown]

prolly

[sublime]

lol, ou...saving by not playing? ;)

[originunknown]

Pretty good sublime, thanks and you?

I am mostly playing CDN penny mining stocks that don't need as much attention. I will occasionally play an OTCBB. Busy at work and saving a lot.

Cheers!

[sublime]

LOL ron...i look forward to hearing those stories :)

[Ruellit]

Great board Vera, and have I got stories to tell here!

[sublime]

hey OU...how are ya?

[sublime]

thanks, mach! i'm not posting on it much these days but i read the mantras..lol...seems to help somewhat.

[sublime]

sometimes i own what i forget..lol ;)

[machiavelli01]

Sub lol great board

[Bunny]

morning.. sometimes i forget what i own.. :(

[originunknown]

"I know what I own"

[Bunny]

FOCUS MERCI ... time to trade..

[designerportfolio]

here's a thought that just struck me with great clarity this morning:

When the members of a certain stock board here are moaning, complaining and opening calling for the management to resign, issue a pr, etc; and some long's are opening saying they're down "huge" with big "losses"--use that as a BUY signal.

Starting today i will only buy pinkies in this scenario; so anyone with some huge moaners out there, link us up! Will report on my progress.

I'm working on my astrobucks theories sublime, but i'm willing to bet a large number of the crybabies are emotional cancers; and the traders with wild theories and risky investment strategies are of my sign.

[Bunny]

i think posting helps me stay focused - while i trade
~ it keeps me from getting involved with to much chatter
~ for me that works best.. ;)

[sublime]

lol...yes! i agree :) are you still doing your study? what sign makes the most successful trader?

[designerportfolio]

sell when green before they fall...just like leaves to the ground...dead!

Pluck a few early fruit and let the others ripen.

Ok enough of this nature stuff. lol.

[sublime]

my entire potfolio is green....i don't recall that last time that happened..lol

selllllllllllllllll!!!

[sublime]

:) ty merci

[Bunny]

When stressed remember:
we don't what tomorrow holds but we know Who holds tomorrow.
