Like the book says, there is the Trader I Am, and the Trader I Want to Be. I made those trades on paper, what stopped me from making them in real life?

I really need a Trader Psychologist, a time machine, or a priest. Maybe all of the above. I have some swing trades I made that I forgot about on paper trading that are up 25% in 30 days. I posted these trades on here, LYV, MCS and NFLX. I got distracted, put too much in airlines and...

Is anyone really and truly an "expert?" at the markets? It takes a lifetime of study, as a Mutual Fund Manager once told me in lecture. I look at the price targets on tipranks, and look at the Analyst's track records and rankings. These are guys that follow the stock fulltime and have access...

Man, when do the airlines and cruise lines stop getting pounded?

I bought a bunch last year, HODLing for dear life. I regret not buying more GOOGL dammit. Closing my LLY trade, keeping core position, 336 profit and 9% gain over the last couple of weeks.

edit: fixed the issue with my trade on BKNG that was causing overstated profits I'm done trading for October, it was a great month, it was a horrible month. I'll explain. Attached is the data for my real closed trades (vs paper trades). The good: Total profits $6,588 for the month on closed...

Looks like FB is indeed headed to sub $300.

I said that last year in October on my Facebook, and got flamed to hell and back.

Glad I ignored all the Analysts that kept saying to sell Ford. Up 7% on earnings.

They must be smoking the new type of crack! https://finance.yahoo.com/news/inflation-will-plunge-in-2022-goldman-sachs-202724178.html

You wonder why people want to short irrationality. DWAC is down 50% the last few days. Shorts have been feasting. I tried to short it and got this message: "No shares of DWAC available to short. Call your broker to try to locate some shares." I wasn't going to short it with real money, it...

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/27/oil-markets-us-crude-stockpiles-and-fuel-inventories.html Oil prices fell on Wednesday after industry data showed crude oil stockpiles rose more than expected and fuel inventories unexpectedly increased last week in the United States, the world’s largest oil...

I remember when TSLA was only delivering 2k units a month and was valued higher than the Big Three automakers and thinking people were crazy back then. We live in a Bizarro world where a company delivering barely 1% of all auto sales is worth 1/3 the total market cap of all the automakers...

I've been doing scalp buys the last two days (not one short). But there was a gap in there at 10 AM yesterday, that was a shorter's dream. Down $100 in a little over an hour. This happened when I was already done trading.

There are 53 EV's on the way from other manufacturers. Ford and GM are light years ahead in terms of quality and reliability. If you are buying an EV, would you want to be with a company that will make a vehicle that will last, or TSLA that is pretty much dead last in the industry right now...

$773 profit trading TSLA in 30 minutes. Thinking I'm done with it, unless the setup is perfect. Its so volatile that the correct stop loss on a day trade is 3%. I don't like to day trade on anything that needs a stop loss greater than 1. Looking for something else that isn't so volatile.

I honestly think Queen Cathie got lucky last year. I tracked all of her trades for a while, and a lot of them sucked. She bought ZM all the way down from 470 to 270. She likes to average down. I used to check her picks for ideas, but I thought they pretty much all sucked.

I think airlines start to come back in favor next month. BABA and cruise ships, who knows? A lot of us got pummeled by oil and gas and the CCP. I haven't sold those swing trades yet. I feel like we are going to wake up and OPEC is going to announce 1M more barrels a day. And Biden is...

Today was the first day where you would have cleaned up shorting it in a while. The higher it goes, the more attractive it is to short. I find it hard to believe its going to hold onto its 20% gains the last two days. As a matter of fact, it gave up 6% already today. Sell signals have been...

Yeah, but that price to earnings multiple is getting more attractive and tipranks has it with a 30% upside. Gonna have to take a little risk to get that sort of upside.

I took the other side of FB, I bought some FB today. No one knows where its going, so buying into the name slowly over time. I rarely ever catch the exact bottom. Why does everyone on here keep saying TSLA is gonna drive me insane? I'm already a few screws short.

I didn't give up on Tesla, its just any day I make 1.5% and 100% of my trades are perfect, I walk away. Even if its only in 15 minutes. Been doing this awhile now, 1-1.5% is as good is it gets, given the volatility I trade with.

Man, someone is getting paid shorting TSLA today. I don't trade this late in the day (normally).

So...thoughts on FB at this level? Under the 200 moving day average. Not really concerned about the morals of the company, just the fundamentals. edit: looks like the stock is breaking down

TMAC, there are still opportunities to short TSLA, but I made my money in 31 minutes. 1.5% in a day, I usually call it quits before I start making mental mistakes. Its just pure MOMO right now, but I bet that fades towards the end of the week. Hell, its come down 60 a share in the last 40...

TMAC

Go back, re-read my posts, I said it was bad for shorting for now. Hell, I stopped trading today, but its fallen 50 a share in the last 30 minutes. Whenever these companies go parabolic, its more like are fattening them up for the kill. Seen TSLA drop 300 a share very quickly multiple times...

Mike Santoli on CNBC said its being pushed up by tons of bullish call options, but they expire on Friday. Might be an opportunity to short.

So, a 20% gain in two weeks. Wish I bought more, but that's the story of my life.

Glad I swooped in at 200 on that a few weeks ago.

Shorting TSLA is akin to throwing yourself on the traintracks in front of a speeding train lately. If you get confirmation of a short signal, its so fast it goes away before you can reverse your position. Not been performing up to par because I've been shorting it the last week. The news is...

I finally figured out I need to not short it (for a few days anyway). $1,500 simulated profits (on 100k) in 31 minutes today. Yeah, I had to divorce fundamentals from technicals, because technically, it keeps getting stronger. Been trying to short it since it was 700 a few weeks ago. The...

I hopped back onto a full position with PYPL 40 cents higher, after they said no deal with PINS. I cut my position by half on the previous news.

I think that's a real issue moving forward.

I've bought some of their picks to take on trade. SBUX is up .35% in a week, AMAT up 4. If there is a rationale, I'm open to it, but I'll do my research and decide. I'm already paid up for the year.

I have a half position combined, between CLF and NUE. I guess I can't add at this point. The whole action alerts thing kind of pissed me off.

Anyone wish they bought more CLF or Nucor? Damn.
