I hear you Goldnice. I've been in a couple of  silver and gold plays since early April. They've saved my portfolio. Trim and Trail

I've dealt with Td Canada Trust here in Canada and I'd say as far as service and platform zero complaints.

So when does all this

Posted by rollerblader on 6th of Jun 2020 at 09:33 am

So when does all this BS end? A Fed induced rally, a moneyOPOLY of borrowed money to increase your paper profits. If you feel wealthy on paper you spend and economy keeps growing. That seems correct in a normal environment but in my opinion we are not normal. I can't even imagine what will happen on the streets if/when this implodes. Whether in my lifetime or not it's a frightening thought and more so for my kids and grandkids. The hole at the bottom of the pool is bigger than the hose that's filling it.

Happy belated birthday Matt, hopefully

Happy belated birthday Matt, hopefully your wife and kids gave you the day off.   

I agree with you whole heartedly ssaffer.  Nothing wrong with sharing ideas on charts and stocks to perhaps watch. I certainly appreciate it from all as we certainly can't keep our eyes on everything.  At the end of the day we all make our own decisions and are responsible for our own losses or gains. If someone gives advice and the stock goes up your a hero if it goes down your a zero. If this game came with a guarantee we'd all be rich.

I just took a little short on it. What's your preferred timing on puts for a stock that has run up, 1 month, 3 months?

So people will take their 10 grand now because they genuinely need the help. Others may just like the idea of free money and will blow it on good times. When they retire and their monthly pension is less what will they do then?

Interesting times indeed.

Curious to know what monitor

Posted by rollerblader on 19th of Apr 2020 at 09:08 am

Curious to know what monitor size and setups some of you are using and number of stocks you follow on any given day.

Much appreciated 

A few weeks ago my son texted me an image of the pages you just posted accept we were told it came from prediction made by psychic Sylvia Browne in her 2008 book called End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies about the End of the World,when she wrote about a sickness like the current coronavirus. Who has either of these books so we can see who really wrote it.

 Do you not find it

 Do you not find it can be quite a move  up or down when following the 60 min? If I'm day trading I'll usually follow the 3, 5 and 15 minutes. That gives me an idea ( not necessarily correct) on the trend. Hoping your actions/ideas can be helpful to me. Thank you

My condolences to you and

My condolences to you and your family Steve.

Already had some at $0.75

PRED update

Already had some at $0.75 and purchased a few more shares on this mornings pull back at $0.72,,,so now if I sell it will shoot up and if I hold it will drop. I'll let you guy's know what I'm doing so you can do the opposite,,,lol.

I hear you ssaffer. Mid to late 90's in my early 30's  I started day trading, no charts at the time just following ticker tape and trying to play swing trades. By early 2001 or so I was forced to claim bankruptcy. Mostly due to my inexperience and thinking the market was easy. It was a tough pill to swallow and admit that I got beat. Now I'm a little more seasoned and in some instances very fearful of pulling the trigger on some trades. The only funny side of claiming bankcruptcy  was the banckruptcy lawyer asking what I owed. When I told him he laughed and said "that's nothing, I have people owing a few million" My response "should I wait?" Unfortunately I wasn't able to get more credit to get close to his number lol.  All the best to everyone on this site and hoping this virus is a past sooner rather than later.

Steve/Matt many thanks to both of you for the info and charts you both post daily, wish I had this info 25 years ago. Under normal circumstances would you set a stop-limit order or stop-market order? Reason I'm asking is that in a few past experiences when I've set a stop-limit order my stock has not gotten sold as price blew past my order and I wound up re-setting my order and selling at a much lower price. I guess both types of orders can have negative impacts. Just my 2 cents and hoping for input by others. Stay healthy everyone.


Anyone having issues with StockCharts

Posted by rollerblader on 9th of Mar 2020 at 09:34 am

Anyone having issues with StockCharts data?

So the gov't allows us to put money in a TFSA for what? To earn a lousy  2% in a GIC or something. Yet if you now make some money they want it. So what happens if you have losses are they going to rebate it??

When I got home it was trading in the 6.20's so I set a limit stop at 6.01 trigger at $6.03 hoping to walk away with something if it went that low. It actually went lower and never got sold. I should've checked the bid/ask before market open and the out come may had been better,,,hind sight is 20 20.

Big pop in LIFE this morning.

Posted by rollerblader on 6th of Jan 2020 at 03:43 pm

Big pop in LIFE this morning. I averaged down last week to $5.74 and unfortunately was at the chiropractor this morning and missed out on $4,000. profit. Oh well better than a loss.

Sold at break even.

Yes, but seems ok now.

Looking at a 1 yr daily chart shows how tight the BB's were. That would have been a great entry between Sept.-Dec.. I'm a little skeptical now as it looks a little parabolic.
