This Trade Proves Why Traders Who Refuse To Cut Losses/Trades Are Typical Financial Losers

As I wrote in THIS post & alerted TIMalert subscribers, I shorted 2000 MBLX at $6.25 in the early afternoon of March 12th, thinking that its inability to go green on the day when the markets were up 3% meant it should return to its intraday lows of $4.60…all I wanted was 50 cents-$1/share, but this is what happened:

Why Peter DeFazio’s ‘Let Wall Street Pay for Wall Street’s Bailout Act of 2009′ Stinks
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Fri 20th of Feb, 2009 08:05:39 AM Sponsor Offer:
PS Tune into LiveStock today 1-2PM HERE & we’ll be discussing this very issue….heatedly
HERE’S The bill in legal jargon…basically congressonobdyman Peter DeFazio wants to impose a 0.25% transaction tax on the “sale and purchase of financial instruments such as stock, options, and futures.”
As the petition (sign it if you believe in reason, freedom and/or you want the stock market to ever go back up again) against such misguided legislation states:
Finally, such a tax will undoubtedly affect the number of shares traded on an absolute basis, thus reducing liquidity – a necessary ingredient in the effective pricing of assets. It’s the complete lack of liquidity, for example, which made collateralized mortgage obligations effectively worthless.
The body of the bill suggests that such a tax would have a negligible impact on the average investor. I beg to differ. For example, a $10,000 trade (or approximately 100 shares of stock in Apple, Inc.) would increase the cost of a round trip transaction by $50. 100 shares is generally considered to be a minimum size for a trade, which would devastate any small business executing even a handful of similar trades each day.
That’s right, DeFazio ‘DeGenius’ wants to make you, the small-time investors/traders pay for the colossal bungling that is this stimulus bill…day raders and forex freaks would be especially hurt. Forget about those of you making $10,000 trades, if you’re trading $100,000, do you really want to pay $500 in bullshit taxes? $2,500 on a $500,000 trade? $10,000 on a $2 million trade? Oh yes, it could get ugly FOR EVERYONE (probly wiping out/seriously injuring the remaining hedge funds & then everyone will go back to their roots a la Tim Sykes and make more $ selling newsletters & instructional trading DVDs (no government taxes on that!….yet)
Forget the SEC’s mishandling of Short Selling financial companies (remember that ban, that really worked well, huh? BAC, C were trading in the $20s when ‘the drops in stock price were due to short sellers’! LOLOLOL), the SEC’s failure to catch either of these $50 billion fraudsters (they prefer going after high profile but useless people like Martha Stewart & Mark Cuban for a few hundred grand!)–this bill tops anything the ignorant could ever pull off….think of it as ignorance multiplied by a million or so.
The good news is that there’s still time to block this shit. Your mission young/old/successful/failed/wise/addicted/rich/poor trader is simple: you gotta stand up for yourselves and vote to block this doofus from making you pay for this whole shitshow that’s caused by neanderthals like that home flipper you know (we all know one or two, right? Feel free to smack ‘em across their big dumb fat over-leveraged/now-whining-about-it-faces)
SIGN THE PETITION TO BLOCK THIS LUNACY NOW (& send this blog post to your friends or anybody who’s ever made a stock, options or forex trade in their lives or plans to in the future because online discount brokers have made this game far easier, this is a step in the wrong direction, kinda like prohibition for a nation full of alcoholics!)

These Are Not Extraordinary Times, Finance People Are Just Morons/Not Well Read
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Tue 18th of Nov, 2008 08:41:17 AM Sponsor Offer:
I am beyond sick of corporate management, “gurus”, newsletter writers, financial ANALysts, talking heads, mutual fund managers, hedge fund managers, traders, investors all using the excuse that their losing $ is the result of the economy/troubled times.
BS, you guys are just uneducated bozos! Yup, all of you…
The economy is not to blame as these times are little different than years past….Wall Street never changes, morons just multiply before getting exterminated…just like cockroaches.
That’s right, it’s nobody’s fault but your own if you’re failing now just as it’s all my fault that I’m up 180% in the last year or so.
You loser/poor ass mothersuckers, all you gotta do is become a student of financial history, learn to cut your losses quickly and stay liquid long enough to wait for ideal opportunities.
Forget me rubbing in how dumb most people in this joke of a business and let me get to my point, we’re rapidly reaching the long awaited capitulation point.
I previously wrote this post about how their was no panic yet, but the fact that we keep dropping so gradually makes me now think/hope we are getting close to a big big crash day one day soon.
Think Dow -2500 on the day…all we gotta do is take out the 2002 lows, Dow 7000s, and then we open the door to a serious freefall…ideally to Dow 4000–considering only then do we really have technical support.
Of course, all the bitches who still wanna try to save their pathetic businesses are gonna try to bottom this thing in the lows 7000s and they might just succeed. Or their failure will be the extra oomph we need to hit true capitulation.
Ahhhh, it feels good to not care whether the markets goes up or down, you should try it sometime!
