I am just getting into playing the market, so I was wondering if you would mind imparting some basic knowledge on me. For instance, what is a Gapper? If you could let me know a bit about the slang, the strategies that people employ, etc. I would appreciate it.

Here's a great site for terms:

More specifically, here is the definition for gapping:

Welcome. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. Just curious, but have any of you gone to stock esteem . come for ideas. I have been looking there and today they suggested...and it did quite well. The thing is that now when I go to the site its not there anymore, not sure if this is an instance of a tech problem or them shutting down shop.

stockesteem DOT com? I don't see a website there, just a parked page. Is that the right URL?

Hello RE...the best advice that I can give you is this....STAY AWAY from the OTCBB market...it is as crooked as it gets!

OTCBB = Over the Counter Bulletin Board

It's where the cheap stocks live, the ones that don't trade on NYSE, Amex, Nasdaq, etc. And yes it is a market unto itself. Standard stock rules don't seem to apply in this realm.

If you play in the "Micro" forum (under 10 cents) you're likely talking about stocks on the OTCBB.

I'm new too, just sharing what I've learned from other folks 'round these parts. There are plenty of other threads with lots of advice. My advice - search for and read them! If you read enough here, you'll learn who knows what they're talking about, and who doesn't. So read,read,read, and don't take the first "hot tip" you find. Good luck to you and welcome.

Mach, I started a "reference thread," would be nice if you posted major items that everybody asks about on that thread...
