#279 RE: Global Interface #278

I called the ihub support line. They said that no one else had complained. He asked me to do a screen shot of the ad. Once I sat down and focused on it I trailed it down pretty fast. It's coming from the small ad at the bottom of the page. When it makes a pop up it creates a link instead of the image that would normally go there.

I suppose that this is as good a time as any. I'd like to apologize...

You reached out to me when I was just getting my feet wet. I am very appreciative of the effort.

Back then I was still fighting with the phone app and mostly loosing. I don't remember all the problems I was having but one was not being able copy or paste once you have a lot of text on the screen. The buttons would be pushed out of sight beyond the scroll range. Plus, I was loosing posts by accident by clicking on the back button twice. I finally found a work around for the copy and paste but I still loose posts occasionally to the back button.

The whole problem may be my add on keyboard, I'm not sure...

Things were getting pretty frustrating back then. I was bleeding money with most of my trades.

Add in the normal demands of the job and I was occasionally a little overwhelmed.

The communication that I feel guilty about was when I got two PMs from you in the same night. I'd read the first and was just finishing my reply when the second came in. As I recall I commented that I'd get back to you about message two, but I never did...

I was grateful for you reaching out and always tried to give you a return on investment by replying with, what I'd hoped would be, a well thought out response to the information you shared.

You have your own job plus investments to look after. Plus children and any personal life you may have. Time spent helping me was time that you could have spent doing something else.

As I recall the topic of your PM was basher bashing. You wanted me to take a look at an exchange you'd had with a basher.

Since I was under my own self imposed obligation to provide a return on your investment I figured I'd have to figure out what psychological tactics were used and post you back with a PM which showed that I'd understood. It seemed like a daunting task. It was pretty late and my schedule was tight, so I went to bed intending to get back to it. I never did...

After that I just kept putting it off which led to a long silence...

We've had a few comments exchanged here and there.

I wanted to try to give a little back by giving you a heads up on anything I figured that you may or may not have missed about PraXsyn. Knowledge is power when trading stocks.

I don't remember exactly where I was with my investments when I broke communications, so I may as well provide a brief summary.

As I said things weren't going well. My solution was to pull totally out of the markets and regroup. I closed all my positions without caring too much about waiting for a better price. Way I saw it I was already out of control. Any decisions I might make could lead to more losses. If I was sitting in cash while I came up with a good strategy then at least I wasn't loosing any more money. I'd make it back once figured it out...

After a week or so I decided to get back in on two stocks I'd previously lost money with. I decided on a price and set a buy order for each. As I recall, the orders were placed on separate days but both filled the same day. I bought back in stronger and lower which did wonders for my average...

The two stocks were PAWS & SWET.

I bought SWET at around $ .0172. I then sold 160,000 in two separate sales when it got close to .03 I still had 100,000 and was adding to it. That is until the S1 came out. I figured things would be moving forward around December. The companies timetable says it won't happen until later on next year. I sold everything at a slight loss at my first opportunity after I realized that people aren't going to wait that long. There was a guy who swooped in and posted about how the PPS would fall as people lost patients. Imagine that, saved by a basher...

I took heavy losses on the first drop. After everything was said and done I ended up about $240 bucks ahead.

As for PraXsyn I used some of the SWET money to buy PraXsyn. . I've got 250,000 shares. My current plan is to sell totally out somewhere in the next run-up and buy back in one the slump.
I've watched two run-ups come and go. This time I'm taking the profits.

I've was dabbling in the major markets as a day trader. I had mixed results. So far they've been pretty much a wash. No big gains but also no big losses. The losses I did have were cancelled out by the gains.

My most recent change in strategy is swing trading. The longer time frame fits better with my schedule.

Last but by far not the least is shorting stocks. So far I've done better than any of my previous endeavors.

I'd like to be able to quit my truck driving job and live as a professional trader. It seems possible now.

I'm still not quite in the green and not every trade's a winner. However, I'm getting better at it all the time. I'm also putting the majority of my earnings into my my brokerage.

I plan to take a full week off somewhere interesting like Las Vegas once I'm up to about $30,000 I'dw spend every day daytrading. If I can clear $2,500 then I might simply quit my job..

Anyway, it's getting late. Gotta get some sleep. The freight must go on.

Hope all is well...
