I have traded a lot Sirius---the XM SR market cap is similar to the SIRI market cap----I look to get back into SIRI-- IF it drops to the low 2's--my last sale was @3.46$--it may not go that low(2.25$)---but i are greedy-LOL

I like to use the winners and losers lists they are fairly up to date and they cover all prices----- the trick i use when i a, m looking for a daytrade--( i do this a couple times a week) --is to scroll down the winners list and look at VOLUME only---AND I look to see if it can sustain the run--which means i !USUALLY! skip the ones that are already up more than 30%
I find a mover with HIGH enough volume to actually sell after I buy-- then i check to make sure it is not a PINK SHEET and then I check to see the NEWS--NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS here- it is risky but if news isn't out yet somebody is buying on rumor----------------just don't do this with money you can't lose
The swing trades work like this for me---I scroll through the LOSERS--LOL twue--find HIGH volume droppers---chart them -check news---decide if/when it is done dropping and pick it up for the bounce---- OR check the volume lists for small %age PPS move up on heavy volume --this is what coils the spring--or primes the pump--whatever you want to callit--- they are ALL there every day--------good luck--
You've opened a can of worms. I love knowing how everyone else works therefore copying and altering styles to create my own comfortable trading way.
Now come my questions P.S. At any point please just write back saying SHUT TFUP and I will, without being offended.
Now, I have only begun with the Winners list.
YOU must scroll 2or 3 pages to find under 30% gains? What is good volume to you? what is to low? Volume you look at, is it in $ or trades?
I normally wait till pullback after opening bell would you on one of these trades?
On a quick 2 minute scroll without checking news I saw IPVO up 12% if it does it again today it will break 52 week high. What do you think?
I stopped looking and will look deeper later to follow on paper cash is tied up.
I scroll and become overwhelmed. I usually play 500-1000 on a stock when I can play. I'm hunting tech books etc to read. started wanting to day/swing trade in Jan.

Keith--this is an art form---find a style that works FOR YOU---share your success stories--share your scars---i don't post very many of my picks--- too many people start to expect to get the picks and only seem to remember when you are wrong----i really am a BULL--when I am INVESTING i search for PEOPLE that know how to win HONESTLY--after i find them -THEN i start using TA, not before----
if you want to be a trader(working strictly on TA) and NOT an investor-- learn to TRADE well--the cash will follow--trading well means reading the market signals and following THEM --not setting income goals but setting "style" goals----find some TA sites that fit your needs--the good ones are not free-but worth every penny--just make sure you know why and how the TA works-- don't follow it blindly--if you start to develop earnings expectations you will find yourself trying to force your will on the markets-- you will fail
that's why i give the guys grief that keep pounding the same drum all day--they are not following TA they are trying to force their will on the market.
A man has got to know his limitations-- and if he don't, the market, or a woman, will be sure to point them out--LOL
I have my masters in education and will recieve my juris doctorate in may.
I will learn this market, thats not an issue!
My attempt to pick your brain was not to find your picks but what you see. Everything I have learned is from people and books.
I am looking for a connection to the people. I am done with formal schooling. I know no one personally who trades as a day/swing trader.
Since Jan I see those who post well and seem to have good stocks. To day trade I need to learn faster and the play is so quick I have no time. I do follow up to find what they saw, but, still have trouble finding what made them stop and look harder in the first place. I do go to TA sites and attempt to read charts etc. Patterning, candlesticking, I believe it all until I find the clues to my way!
I'm still hunting. I only own five stocks. CWIR LBTT PLKC SIRI-free share PARS-also free.
I thought I would be able to bounce on plkc and I screwed up. I'm still looking for the bump on LBTT. SEE the charts on those 2 looked good to me but, they may not bounce for a month. This is where my timing is off. I really like the LBTT but, my positiveness wanes on PLKC

I sense that you are expecting to pick this up priddy quick pardner---it is one of the most difficult ARTS to master that exists---by some estimates 90% of all traders are out in weeks--- All About Technical Analysis by Constance Brown is VERY GOOD--she literally covers TA top to bottom and even backwards and mirror images--i am still studying it all the time. See if there is an investor's club nearby you. I will seek one out after i move out of the middle of the prairie--Nebraska is boring--LOL

I'm insanely busy to join a club work, school, kids etc.
I've been on the computer to type up midterms and this is my current passion. I won't bail out, and yes it is difficult. Investing as a whole I'm comfortable with Solid companies diversification etc. but, playing for a few hundred or thousands a day would be good. I keep picking what I feel are solid stocks and waiting. I need to find a way to catch runs and ride em.
I'll make bad decisions and thats fine I need the majority in my favor though and it would be nice to bang a lucky one or two.

Consider this. Howard Stern was taken off the air in six major markets. Other ShockJocks either have been fined or soon may be. I don't care about their message or if their style is oofensive. Point being, people want to listen to them. ShockJocks look prime to move to pay for HEAR radio. Highly speculative position I have, but it just could happen.

I understood you were not bashing, glass. My point was people love to hear the shock jocks and much like cable, people will opt to pay for what they want. There isn't much competiton only two licenses issued. The idea of paying to listen to the radio doesn't appeal to me at all. There are plenty of choices over the free airways to satisfy me, but that's me. People always have to have the latest, bestest at any cost, they over buy everything from cars to computers to kitchen appliances.

I agree if it goes down some, and the shock jocks have to find a new home it would be a sterling play.
I hope you guys don't mind me tossin' my ten cents worth into this interesting thread you guys started. Keithman, I'm in a similar position to you- I've only began studying the stockmarket, diving into buying shares, head first...
I've had interest in the stockmarket for years, but only begun looking into buying stock (and actually buying it) a few months ago (first aquisition were shares of eBay- a stock I wanted to buy years ago- always believing the company's potential, but... simply never pullin' the trigger- not knowing the first place to go to, to buy stock...). By the time I bought their shares, they were around 55.00 a pop... sold them recently at 68, although still am a firm believer they'll rise further... eBay's potential hasn't come close to its peak yet.
My point with this post... I guess, I'd like some insight, from GLASSMAN, if you have a moment... I'm 26... single... no kids, no woman... with all the time in the world (I'm a business owner)... bottom line is, I can devote plenty of time & money into stocks. My intent, is to become a full time investor/day trader, etc. I realize the odds are stacked against me- if anything, that only inspires me. I started my business when I was 19... not one person believed I could pull it off- my idea seemed unreal...with hard work, etc... I turned a "hobby" into a business that brings in $20K - $25K US a month, I travel all over the world to meet clients, aquire inventory, etc (especially Japan, on a regular basis). I'm not braggin (I'm under the impression, most on this board are high-rollers to whom my numbers wouldn't be impressive anyway). I simply stating that, I do believe, based on the business I've built, I have the proven ability, to become a succesfful stock trader. It'll take years, but I'm up for it. I expect losses... lessons well learned, etc.
However... considering, I have all the time I need (my business operates itself, with employees both in Canada and the USA), hence- I have an advantage, I'd like to utilize. Both time, and capital. Glassman, if you're still reading at this point (thank you)... and points of direction would help... I realize that shortcuts are seldom free, and me cashin' in on years of your experience and work are all but fair & reasonable... hence, all I ask for- are merely pointers- books to read (I've already taken note of the above recommendation)... is there a book out there you know of, which... explains even the most basic terms, etc? The basics- terminology, etc, etc....
Anything at all, will help. Further, if there's anyway I can help, I'd love to.
The way I've approached stocks thus far, is via applying my ability to see opportunities in the world... seeing loopholes, weaknesses, and... looking at companies I feel are ready to fill these voids & needs. Example... one idea I've had for some time now... with the increasing costs of oil... and the looming appeal of hybrid/electric cars... doing any research on a company which produces/specializes in parts ONLY for such vehicles. While today the need for these cars is limited, few will argue that over the next decade or so, the need for such company's product will incrase exponentially. Just one idea....
Any input I can get from you Glassman (or anyone else.....) would kick a$$. Either positive, or negative... it'll all serve good purpose.

OK--I like Toni Turner's book-- A Beginner's Guide To Daytrading-- I't good at giving you a mind-set as well as explaining the basics-it's a good desk-top reference for quick checks on pointers for your fist few months- All About Technical Analysis by Constance Brown is AWESOME--it is NOT a desk top reference--it covers charting from every angle-- NOTE--these are both written by women--never underestimate the ability of women in the markets---my DD indicates that many highly successful analysts are women----men seem to be into gung ho-forward progress---the markets always have ebb and flow----women accept this better than men do--retracement means losses--like a penalty in football--it feels wrong-- ITS NOT--- feeling the markets ebb and flow is the ONLY way to make money in the long--if you spend all of your efforts just looking for rockets--you will eventually find yourself strapped onto the big BOMB--LOL Take it one step at a time--BUY NOW is red flag to me--THEY ARE OFTEN right--but NOW( esp in the net) usually means like in the next 5 minutes--LOL

I AM IN SIRI AT 1.72 BUT IN RESPONSE TO YOUR POST I AM ALSO A SUBSCIBER AND THEY HAVE A COMEDY STATION THAT IS WAY WORSE THAN ANY OF THE SHOCK JOCKS. VERY OBSCENE AND FUNNY

I caught somewhere that it's not a given YET that sattelite radio will be able to air obscene material.
The excellent argument for though is if you pay for it you can listen to what you want.
Someone asked the questin to the fcc I think?
Law wise IMO for paid satelite radio anything goes. Just like cable. Its just not finalized yet.

H.Stern's been around for a while. Now, screws are tightening. Its an attempt to see where constitutional limits are as well as how much the people will be with or against them.
When the same people who are pushing this stricter agenda were asked about satelite radio, they were vague. Stating they would like no profanity but, admitting they may not have a leg to stand on in court.
