Dear fung_derf,
My dazzling reply! Sorry for delay.
My plan is BB stocks, primarily using other, obviously more experienced and successful, posters' ideas for intraday and short-term buys and sells. About the ONLY thing I seem to be good at is picking good shorts but I've had to dip into my investment cash recently and dropped below broker's $2K requirement, so I'm attempting to s-l-o-w-l-y increase my $500 to that point.
My previous approx. $30K (which was my cumulative total lost- at most at one time I had 4 to 5K to work with) was lost through massive inexperience (altho in my defense I read like crazy & therefore assumed I was almost a pro <g>), like when about my 2nd or 3rd option (oh yes) play made me $730 in two or three days, which only added to my belief that this shit is easy!!!! (btw, I no longer touch options)
This time I'm going to make it, one way or another!
Sorry for length of post- I appreciate your question!
