Bearmove, you wrongly assumed that that many of us do it for a living. Actually, I think very few do. I bet most of the lurkers and occasional posters hold other jobs and trade on a side, during the lunch hour, trying to get the scoop from those who trade for a living and have time to do the in-depth market research every morning as you described in your post. In a word, we're wannabe 'traders'. And, what's even worse, we're double free-loaders on this board. <g>

I, for one, am grateful to you and others for your ideas, good input and great lessons.

Bearmove, you're the prototype serious trader. Thanks for all you do. Your comments and stock IDs have been terrific.

I do not post here much, but I found this comment to be somewhat preachy. Evidently you think that all "real traders worth their salt" must trade along the guidelines you outlined.

Wake up and smell the coffee! Allow me to outline several approachs that traders may take:

1) Intraday trading based on technicals
2) Intraday trading based on market internals
3) Scalp (about 1 to 3 days) trading based on EOD technicals
4) Scalp trading based on intraday technicals
5) Scalp trading based on market internals
6) Swing trading (3 days to say 2 months) based on technicals
7) Swing trading based on market internals
8) Swing trading based on fundamentals
9) Intermediate trading (6 weeks to ~ 6 months) based on technicals
10) Intermediate trading based on market internals
11) Intermediate trading based on fundamentals

Starting with the above 11, traders may employ a strategy of mixing one or more the the 11, creating even more permutations of "trading styles" or disciplines. Then consider that some traders may avoid individual equities entirely, and focus on ETF's and Indexes. This would create even more and more potential trading approachs. But apparently Bearmove feels that there is one true method:

I better stop here, the more I think about it, the more silly your tirade begins to look. Which BTW, here it is:

<<I've got a road map for the week....First take one day at a time. Next, get up early and start researching the business news. Find news which may move 3-5 stocks. Then look at their charts. Check the pre-market openning indicators one those stocks. Then, make a buying or shorting decision. Next, pick 10 stocks to watch based on the charts and research you did today. You did do that right? Then.....do the same thing everyday day by day and you'll have a road map.>>>

Bear- I have about 27-29 things I follow...Zeev's stuff is just one..

For a long, long time, Zeev had no problem posting a daily map. If that is a problem (he posting), then no worries. Usually, he just doesn't respond when it is not clear to him.
