I have been playing more online poker lately and really paying attention to trying to learn something. The emotions of winning and losing are exactly the same in poker and the stock market. The difference is that you can play poker 24 hours a day 7 days a week. You can also play very small in poker, for pennies. But I am noticing a lot of the emotions are very similar, there were a couple times

Still trying another site, still looking for a place to paper trade.www.ptrades.com - just signed up for this one and they trade futures, it's also a fantasy futures exchange, not sure what that means, maybe that the prices are not the same as the real world.https://www.wallstreetsurvivor.com/ I remember signing up for this site before, but I can't remember if it was any good or not?found my old

Signed up for http://simulator.investopedia.com their simulator charges $29 per trade. Which is kind of high, I do have a $100,000 account so I could just buy 10 times the stock and that would make the commissions 2.90 which is about what I am paying at sogo.I tried to buy more shares and it tells me:"A maximum of 459 shares can be bought due to the diversification rule."to offset the commissions

I traded like a clown today.And my broker was a bigger clown, so it was a real circus around here.The first problem I had with TD Ameritrade today was that I shorted a stock,and as I am shorting it, the stock runs way way down, so I get the worst fill ever, then turns and starts going back up as soon as I get filled,then I wanted to short some more, but I get a message that says:Day Trading

www.lbrgroup.comLBR chat room day 4 So far I am pretty happy with the chat room, they seem to make pretty good calls and stay pretty focused on the market.This morning racerx called a good trade in CISCO, I probably would have taken this trade, but I was mistakenly watching the futures chat room so I missed it.Got out of half with around a .12 cent profit and then got stopped out of the rest

Looked into the chat room at #Daytraders on IRC. This is a free chat room to get to it you can buy the mIRC software or do what I did and install Trillian, it's free and works the same.A little complicated to set up but if you keep Googling stuff you can get it working.Review of #Daytraders chat room, here is some information about it:http://www.daytraders.org/chatroom.asp#DayTraders is a

I have been doing some research and have found out that to succeed as a trader you need only one quality.PERSEVERANCE.

Looks like TimAlerts shorted more CHINA this morning at 6:10 am (pacific time) I didn't check until about 15 minutes later and of course this one happens to also be a perfect entry on the trade, and it started dropping as soon as he shorted it.As soon as he shorted CHINA at 2.85 it dropped very nicely and is at 2.54 right now (11:00am) 5 hours later.I decided CHINA had dropped too much from his

Investools.com by Wealth Magazine.I went to one of the all day motivational seminars a few months ago, and while I was there I listened to a great motivational speaker, who made everything sound easy.I signed up for Investools and tried to use them.

Another very bad day for me. Yesterday I missed a Timothy Sykes trade because I was doing something. It was not so bad because everyone else missed it too because there were not shares to trade.Today, I got back from my taxi run and forgot to turn my email program back on, my phone was working fine and I remembered to plug it in, but forgot the email program.Since Timothy is in China on vacation

It looks like there is a format problem with my email. When I type a sentence longer than about 40 characters it will not wrap the sentence to the next line.I am going to try and send this email as a text message instead of a html message, and see if that makes any difference. It will only be one more step in sending each message, and won't take that much time to do.But the time is starting to

Trying to get set up for Monday's trading. My old computer just was not cutting it, I missed a $3000 trade on Wednesday and on Thursday I was slowed down by $200 on a stock I bought so in two days I lost $3200. I just keep thinking that would have paid for a really nice new computer. But I have my new computer and I ended up getting a intel Core 2 quad processor Q9400 From the

I have been trying to get blogger.com to work with my new host. Have been running into some problems. But it looks like the last problem is that blogger is posting all the files for the site in the wrong directory.So I think I have that solved and it may work now. This post is also to test and see if I can post by email, one of the great features about blogger.

I often go to website and wonder how the site was made, I can spot a lot of the popular programs used to make websites.But sometimes I am just left to wonder.You can right click and go to "view page source" for clues as to how the site was created, but I thought if anyone was interested I would just tell you.I have been using Xsitepro for most of the older pages like this Penny Stock page.Then my

I just installed w.blogger version 4.02 and I am testing it out to see if it works or not? this is my first post and it seemed to be working OK. The spell check is the old style where it searches and highlights each word, but it seems to work. Only it does not have the work blogger, which seems a little troubling. The main thing I am after is being able to create links on works that I post

For a while I followed a lot of HYIP's and a bunch of different rating sites for them, I never made any money with them, although I think it could be done if you studied them enough to figure out what was working and made some educated guesses.Anyway, I just looked at one of the sites I really liked reading, http://www.drunkonlife.com/ - it is gone now and it looks like the domain name has not

I have started writing down my goals, and thinking about some more of the things I read on the simpleology site.I know writing down a list of what I want to get done really makes a difference for me.Many years ago I read something about finding your way with a map or without a map and how it's easier with a map.Since then I have always thought of my list of things to do as a map to where I was

The amount of time that I waste is really starting to become a problem.I spend more and more time doing less and less, and it is seriously starting to affect my lifestyle now.Part of it is that I am just lazy, and part of it is just some very bad habits I have developed.Also the Real Estate market has taken a dump, and not at a very convenient time for me.Actually if the market had stayed strong

I have given up on trying to find a collection agency to collect the debt from my previous tenants.I am not sure I could find a collection agency to collect for me if I offered them 75 of the money.From the few responses I have gotten it looks like everyone wants commercial debt to collect against a large company with lots of assets, and no one wants to try and collect debt against individuals.

There are a couple people who owe me some money and I have decided that I am going to have a collections agency collect on them. At first I was looking around the internet trying to find someone who would give me a better rate, it seems like the rates vary usually between 50% on the high side to around 15 or 20% on the low side.So I spent several hours searching trying to find a good rate, I
