<0> dell is about to bottom in it's range
<0> 23.5-23.75 is bottom
<0> range is between 23-26
<0> .return 23.75 25.5
<1> The Return rate for 23.75 -> 25.5 is: 7.37%
<0> not bad
<2> i need to unload some things
<2> no buying more for now
<0> doesn't have the pretty negative volume divergenece though
<0> like vonage
<3> Airduster: you make a lot of money from stocks?
<0> haha no
<4> i overleveraged and lost a bunch
<0> well i don't invest with real money that often
<0> my money is tied up
<4> my portfolio went from 25k to 1k in 2 weeks
<4> got hammered
<3> psilo: phuck
<0> ouch..
<4> yeah, be careful with leverage
<4> it definitely cuts both ways
<0> .return 25000.0 1000.0
<1> The Return rate for 25000.0 -> 1000.0 is: -96.00%
<5> I guess so
<0> commodities psilo?
<4> yeah
<4> stocks
<4> but resources + energy
<0> ouch
<0> naturual gas coming back though
<4> who knows
<4> i was invested in small to midcap miners and energy stocks
<4> got hammered in the recent corrections
<4> which were totally overdone in my opinion
<0> :(
<0> no stops?
<4> but i couldn't hang on to the volatility
<4> i had stops, but several of them got gapped through badly
<0> ouch
<4> yeah, those things wree volatile as ****
<0> hope you could afford that 24k loss
<4> when you open 10% down overnight on a highly leveraged positio
<4> your stop gets blown out
<4> you do the math
<0> yea
<4> hehe, yeah, i'll survive
<4> most of it was old profit anyway
<4> but still it hurts
<0> oil prolly the safest commoditiy out the rest
<0> flucating between 68-72
<0> yea
<4> yeah, it seems stable to me too
<4> i still see the risk to the upside though
<4> if some crazy political **** happens
<4> and there are several candidates
<0> i keep eyeing those oil options
<0> yea
<0> thats g ood though
<0> haha
<0> if you bought at $68
<0> i remember i was trying to convice my father
<4> just a few days ago?
<0> to buy
<0> when oil was $40/barrel
<4> yeah definitely seemed like a good time to buy
<4> oh
<0> yea
<0> 1.5 years back?
<4> would you have bought futures?
<0> something
<4> yeah
<0> oil is getting out of hand now
<0> still not sure if it's gonna go to $100
<0> hehe port (in this channel) thinks so
<0> i'm not so sure
<4> i don't think so
<4> not likely at least
<4> i mean it could happen but it would take a major crisis
<4> which i guess is possible but i wouldn't bet on it
<0> yea
<0> i can see oil back to $50
<0> in the fall
<4> i don't
<4> were you gonna buy oil futures or?
<0> naa
<0> if anything
<0> options
<0> of oil co.
<0> trade on range of light crude oil
<4> futures are too big\
<4> for many people
<0> yea
<4> even 1 contract requires like 5k or something
<0> hehe
<0> go 90-10
<0> 50k
<4> 10 contracts of oil is a 700k exposure
<0> maybe if i had 10k to blow
<4> that's pretty ****in big
<0> yea sick
<4> you'd need balls of steel to hang on to that position if it started moving against you
<0> oh yea
<0> i wouldn't take my eyes off it
<0> wouldn't blink
<4> you'd prolly just end up selling at the worst time
<4> take a big hit, and watchj it recover and head for the moon while you sit ont he sidelines kicking yourself
<4> it's always like this ...
<4> heh
<0> yea
<0> haha thats why sometimes i don't like to watch stocks
<0> thats my protection
<0> against that
<4> heh, yeah that's a good strategy
<0> if i'm in a position long
<4> put a stop at a reasonable point, and goto sleep
<0> yea
<4> another thing i hate is
<4> if you get stopped out ... you re***es and say ok, i still think this is a sound position i wanna get back in, and now i can even get in at a good price
<4> then get stopped out again
<4> and again
<4> at which poitn do you tap out?
<4> that's a tough question
<4> that happened to me
<4> i got stoppedo ut i think 3 time
<4> s
<4> taking small htis on the way, i had close stops
<4> ok, fine ... so i'm watching it now... it's dirt cheap, but my rsolve has been weakened
<4> i start to doubt it
<4> i hesitate, the closing auction comes, i'm not in
<4> i say i will rethink tomorrow and see what happens
<4> tomorrow it opens 10% higher
<4> next day, same
<4> and each time i thought i'd wait for a retracement to get back in
<4> it never happened
<4> i'm so freakin pissed
<0> lol
<0> you are your own worst enemy
<0> haha i know what you mean
<6> back
<0> so many times
<0> happend to me with GM
<0> i was in GM back when it was $19
<0> got out for a loss
<0> the day before it took off
<0> to $22?
<0> something like that
<4> bummer
<0> yea
<0> look at GM now haha
<0> should of stayed long
