Topic: MCZ Is it time?
Posted: Thursday, March 17, 2005 12:06:32 PM
thanks for posting request on mcz

i took a position 3/11 at 1.77 and it is now (3/17) at 1.65
i took the position based on solid fundamental numbers and an uptrend
i have a stop order in at 1.50

i think it is not looking good for this one - i would pass until i saw more upswing

i am considering selling right now - this instant

i look forward to more experienced comments than mine

stay well - enjoy your success and the pursuit of your success

Topic: Huge Price Gap Between Gold & Platinum - Can We Talk ...
Posted: Thursday, March 10, 2005 3:14:22 PM
i am now on the 30 day and will sign up for the 1 year when it expires
(i am using the vector vest $700 a yr system which i will not renew)

telechart is a great program and - even maybe more important - worden.com is a great community

as a new investor surrounded by people almost actively NOT INTERESTED this is an oasis

i am requesting i some explanations for the huge $70 gap in price between gold and platinum
(i want platinum and can barely afford gold - i even asked for the senior discount)

can we talk about a gold plus program that would cost about $39 a month and would have real time quotes
or
can we think about a gold plus plus program that would cost $49 a mo & have real time + 15 min intervals

i am ready to sign up for the gold plus plus program

do we have a seller on this one

again - thanks for a great community and a great program

happy new member

let's remember that enjoying our success is as important as achieving it

again - your response shows me how smart it was for me to get the telechart system

vector vest does not work like this and their charts are terrible terrible and then some

i am happy to be here

i am a new investor and i am learning and applying what i am learning
and
this is a great community of serious market people

thank you so much for your generous help

i hope to be able to contribute to other also in due time
(i want to contribute to the evoltion of the software)
(i am a retired software designer)
(i want to contribute help to others in being successful in the market)
and if possible
i want to help others enjoy their success (this includes me)

sorry to go on and on (no one else to chat about market stuff with)

enjoying & sharing our success is ultimately more important than attaining our success

thank you for the instant response

i am very happy i signed up today

i was going to wait until i got more money but my intuition said do it right now

i am working up the courage to take the loss and move on
(even with the loss factored in i am up for the year about 6%)

if i were to use the money (about 20,000) for short term trading - i could make up and go beyond the losses

i have about 80% of my portfolio in long term rock of gibralter dividend stocks and i use about 20% to do the short term trading.

i freq cut my losses at 3-5% (rocket ships take off and keep going)

thanks again for your support

this is a great product - i have a lot to learn - i am new to investing (6 months) and ready to move forward

be successful in your investing and enjoy your success in life

thanks for the quick response
i have already signed up for the free 30 day trial and can see that this is
a great system and i will probably buy the 1 yr subscription and if i am
really successful i will get the ultra premium $99 a month plan

thank you again for the direct answer

this is a solo player game for the most part (99%)

nice to have some contact with another who is in the game

final question - vector vest had a list of all stocks making new highs
and list of stocks reaching 52 week highs

i poked around for an hour or so today and wonder if those lists are
avail in this system

stay well and happy investing and happy living

my rules for trading are:

1 - only buy those stocks reaching new highs on high volume
2 - sell any stock that has gone down by 8%
3 - keep your positions on any stock at less than 10%

i violated all of my own rules on amazon (love the company and the site)

i bought at $45
i have 600 shares
i am currently down about $6,000 - ouch!

i believe it will come back (and hope it doesn't get worse)

i have a stop loss order at $33

question is - should i get the money and use it now - or - hold for it to come up

thanks for reading - stay well - have success and enjoy it

ps - this is my biggest mistake so far - i follow my rules at least 95% of the time and overall i am up (for the year about 5%)

i am a subscriber to the expensive vector vest database system (cost is $650 per year to start with)

what i like about it is:

1 - data on 7,000 stocks
2 - earnings data (current and earnings yields)
3 - dividend data (current and historical)
4 - hard valuation numbers on stock value (based on published formula)
5 - hard valueation (formula based) on the relative value, and safety (volitility) of stocks
6 - overall valuation on stock (formula) that combines value, safety, and timing

what i don't like is:

1 - worse stock charts anywhere - weak weak weak - misleading - for both ups and downs
2 - too many buy signals (almost everything inthe database is a buy
3 - the system keeps signing me out if if am not active for 20 or 30 minutes (annoying and minor)
4 - it is very expensive and i have not found anything quite like it yet (i also tried IBD)

i am retired and my portfolio is about 80% in rock of gibralter stuff that pays high dividends and has a good growth possibility (no rocket ships)
i am devoting the other 20 % of my portfolio (about $25,000) to short term gainers and i want to hit some home runs here and i have had a few (e.g. bought able at $5, bought bsic at $2 - etc) - my strategy here is to focus on stocks under $10 that have or are reaching 52 week highs (or new highs) and are showing some volume and using vector vest i favor those that have some fundamental VALUE - so far so good

HOW WILL TC 2005 help me to Improve My gains and find more home runs and to exit more quickly when i pick one that isn't going anywhere but down

sorry to run on so much - thanks for reading - stay well - invest well - and enjoy all of your success
