Have someone else manage your money or be in for a HUGE learning curve for personal investing. Or as others have said, invest in mutual funds and/or index funds. If you want to make a higher return, look into Exchange Traded Funds (Just as the name implies, they are funds traded on an...

Buy and hold is an old idea that doesn't pertain to today's markets. Even the king of buy and hold, Warren Buffet, doesn't really support the idea in today's markets. Read the book, "Trend Following: how great traders make millions in up or down markets". -E

so many ideas. I think we're going to visit the Bok Sanctuary, that place looks pretty relaxing. We may also stop by Edison's Winter home on the way back from the airport when we first get down there since we are flying into Ft. Myers. If anyone else has more ideas, let me know by Wednesday...

ebisky, I've been resiting this response but your continued defense of your "investment strategy", your youth and investment naivete finally got the best of me. You can think of my experience in years trading or in # of trades. I've made over 1000 buy/sell trades in the last year. Probably more...

Not sure if you guys have seen this, but it is pretty cool: http://www.theinterviewwithgod.com/ Lifts the spirits. -E

I'll check it out. Has good reviews on the Zon. -E

Ask them Monday and see what they say. Report back to us. Ask them what criteria they use to trade. Ask them if they take TA into consideration with other analysis they do. Also, TA can't be automated for the reason that it only gives clues as to what will happen. But it is very accurate. It...

Thanks for all the advice everyone. Just a side note. I did a huge research paper in my history of religion class on scientology. I knew nothing of the religion until I did my paper. Very interesting religion. I'm not a scientologist, but if you guys have questions or was wondering something...

Now you are just talking nonsense. The graphs don't lie. Show me where I'm wrong. Find a stock from the top 20 NYSE US 100 that does not react to the 200 day MA. Notice the huge spike in volume on those dates that crossed the 200 day MA..I can show you graphs all day of the 200 day MA and its...

Find me one stock out of the top 20 in the NYSE US 100 that does not react to the 200 day MA. You cant. My point exactly. Just one BIG example(GE has the biggest stake in the NYSE US 100 with 5.76%): http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=GE&p=D&yr=3&mn=4&dy=0&id=p57029046932 The stock follows the...

What is it that you do for the financial institution? Do you make investment decisions for the company? The 200 day moving average is a huge market resistance and support line. Major mutual funds and money managers use it almost religiously. Also, I don't have a "system" and if I used that term...

I understand where you are coming from and realize I might sound a little hypocritical. I am a momentum investor, so I trade symbols, not companies. I use almost all technical analysis. TA is dependable because almost everyone else uses it, especially the big investment firms. For example, if a...

It's been a while since I've been to Florida and I'm hearing stories of towns not to go into and roads to stay off of. Has Florida really gotten that bad over the last 6 years??

I've been investing for a little over a year, but don't let my inexperience fool you into thinking I don't know the markets. I've read many books and continue to educate myself about the market. I also trade almost every day and surround myself with professionals. The strategy I am suggesting...

Check out the 1 year returns of the Vanguard energy and real estate ETFs. No chasing here. Investing. These are also not hot markets. They have been stable markets in a long term uptrend(at least they have been in the past, as I said real estate is a it iffy at this point).
