That being said, I read somewhere that a bull market makes you feel lucky while a bear market makes you pay. While I don't think we're in a bear market, we did hit a rough patch. My luck ran out. Live and learn from your mistakes though.JorgeThu, 15 Nov 2007 11:16:08 -0000http://investingadventures.com/2007/11/im-still-here.html#comment-1622054Thanks. I just picked up Murphy's TA book. Should be here soon. To be honest, I'd rather have this happen now while I'm still new at the game than later when I have a larger amount of capital on the line. I knew this was coming but it still stings hah.JorgeThu, 15 Nov 2007 11:14:36 -0000http://investingadventures.com/2007/11/im-still-here.html#comment-1622052Ouch! Up 180% to now down 15%? My sincere condolences. I went through a similar situation when I first got into the stock market and I was trading penny stocks (I can't believe how foolish I was looking back). It's the main reason I switched my stock market strategy and went for investing in major stocks.The Investor's JournalThu, 15 Nov 2007 09:49:42 -0000http://investingadventures.com/2007/11/im-still-here.html#comment-1622053Sorry to hear that things aren't going well Jorge. Trading technically is an excellent choice. Let me know if I can help.JonathanThu, 15 Nov 2007 02:52:44 -0000http://investingadventures.com/2007/11/im-still-here.html#comment-1622051ThinkorSwim is specialized more for options trading I think. In terms of options pricing, they'll match almost any other broker's pricing. They have a great software platform that's extremely responsive. Over the next month or so I'm leaving Zecco for TOS and saving about $3 per options trade since I only trade a couple of contracts at a time.JorgeTue, 13 Nov 2007 20:51:35 -0000http://investingadventures.com/2007/11/im-still-here.html#comment-1622050I still use Zecco - never heard of this think or swim. do they offer free trades too.aj the accountantTue, 13 Nov 2007 19:59:45 -0000
