what you said makes a lot of sense i like the analogy of teaching you to fish. this site seems like a lot goes into keeping folks up date and on top of the markets. and yes there are lot of folks wanting to take your money. so i will listen learn and watch.

     

    thank you  

    My pleasure

    So glad to have you aboard. 

    Today was a great reminder for me on why I continue to invest in this site.  I bought 300 shares of GBX yesterday with a great entry, instead of AUY which I have always bought (thank goodness as AUY crashed in the early premarket.)  AUY was a warning regarding GBX as it started down after a brief high when the markets opened.  I focused my attention on it watching it closely follow the 9 sma up and then the 9 sma down.  With a big red nasty candle developing in GDX daily today that Steve noted in the trading community, I just sold 200 shares of GDX, keeping 100, with a hope that GDX will reverse, and at the right time, I will go back in, buy 200 shares of GDX, lowering my cost basis.  Though this looks like a trade strategy, I really want GDX as an investment strategy in our retirement acct, wanting to rebuild a little in precious metals to diversify the rest of our retirement.  The original 300 shares was the beginning of developing a larger position as I was going to layer in to this position.  I never would have figured this out without the Matt and Steve's mentoring. 

    Best wishes
