Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[Train Guy]

Did you see this #msg-512724 It's not necessary to use rocket fuel stocks to make money in the market. What kind of return are you trying to get a year. You should sit down with a calculator and start doing the math. Looking at the different possibilities. And if you would be happy with 12% a year, doubling you money every six years, than you don't even have to get quite 1% a month, which is almost a rounding area for a decent day trader.

One thing to not do is to look at how many cents a stock moved for the day. Look at the percentages. AMZN was up 8%, YHOO 6%, HP down 6%, SEBL 7%, NVDA 5%. There are about 20 trading days a month, and you are only trying to get 2% a month. If you happen in the right stock at the right time, you can get that in one day. But you don't have to. .5% a week after expenses will turn $20,000 after 20 years into a million plus.

Sure watching Zeev is great fun, but unless you have the knowledge, experience and tools, don't try it at home, and certainly not at work. That doesn't mean you can't make money in the market. The secret is to just consistantly keep getting on first base, And if it is by a single, base on balls, or just sticking your elbow out and getting hit, you don't care. Well the elbow might hurt. <g>

Could you do me a favour. Get your calculator and in the next few days run the numbers and look at the possibilities, and then get back with me, and tell me if I'm blowing smoke or if this looks like something you could actually do.

Here's a list of stocks, #msg-499230. I know nothing about them, but they may be better swing traders. Volatile stocks like swinging for the fences might find you striking out. Just ask Zeev today. <g>
