Re: POKER VS STOCKS
gzfx closed strong and gapped up,
ugho had good earnings 1.58 was resistance on tker over it usually gives a quick break .15s were holding pretty well on XDSL usually indicates a bottom |

The highest four year annulized return on marketocracy is 42% (ist.martin ORR 411.65%), far short of 100% or even 400% per year. And out of thousands of portfolios, it's reasonable to assume that statistical variation would produce one lucky enough to do 42% per year. [/ QUOTE ] Just to clarify, I pointed to Marketocracy as an example of many beating the indexes. Not as an example of potential day trading profits! Its worth noting that the marketocracy ports must comply with "mutual fund" type rules, have high transaction costs and a management fee built in, and are "long only". In spite of all those limitations, a large percentage of those ports beat the indexes. |

Re: POKER VS STOCKS
Funny no one has shown how to beat 7% yet. Maybe it's like poker, some can win more than 3BB per hour but it's hard to specifically tell someone else exactly how to do it.

[/ QUOTE ] There are many ways to beat the market... I believe both Cat and I agree that beating the market is "easy" to anyone willing to invest the time to learn a methodology for doing so. In ff's posts, he highlighted some of his trades today... it made perfect sense to me, because I understand how he's trading. I personally use similar technical analysis techniques, but on more well known and higher priced stocks. Cat takes a different approach, using a value based approach to longer term investing. There are other professional traders that post here, using different techniques. Bottom line, there is no one right way to make money in the market... there are many ways that work and beat the indexes. |
