Tehf ollowing was sent to TIMalert subscribers sometime around 4am EST, gots tobe prepared for the market open the next day!:

So I’m getting emails like “why don’t you trade more, I’m paying you for a steady flow of picks”…where do I even begin…howe about with my instructional DVDs which teach you the way I trade! For the 8482374th time, I go into the market each day reserving shares to short of potential plays, but not looking to trade because I know most trades aren’t worthy of my money or time…there’s plenty of low priced scalping action for 10-50 cents/share, but since I know I’m not a great timer nor do I feel like wasting away like a typical degenerate gambler watching the markets every second of every day, I focus on plays where I think there is 50 cent-$1/share of price action predictibility…for low priced stocks, this means I need 20%+ moves, hence the reason great plays aren’t popping up every day.

The good news is that as you can see from my 1+ year transparent track record, the gains do add up over time, you just need patience. So stop emailing me with that question, I did create my DVDs for a reason, to teach you lessons like this!

PALM is holding up/consilidating in a healthy fashion, booooring, next!

BTIM is in the midst of its latest spike, consolidating now, every other spike has been a good short 75 cents/share on the downside, but this one looks a bit different, I’d love to see a further short squeeze here. ..

EBHI has the right kind of 90% one day surge and chart that I like, but its based on earnings, probly more of a buy than a short dwon here under $1, especially if it can break yesterday’s high of $1.22 (although watchout for double top/fakeout breakout)

MED is a nice breakout, potential buy, but its got a lot of resistance overhead, I don’t see this one breaking out big, we need more hype plays to break out, not the real companies, boooooooring!

STEM is surging on Obama hope…tough to buy into considering we all know how m uch of a carcass of a company this is…I’m watching but waiting until I see some true breakout volume and if it goes far enough, then of course it becomes a solid short play…see how that works? PennyStocking DVD students know, just picture any Supernova…


How much has this post helped you?

The available research on day trading suggests that most active traders lose money. Fees and overtrading are major contributors to these losses.

A 2000 study called “Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth: The Common Stock Investment Performance of Individual Investors” evaluated 66,465 U.S. households that held stocks from 1991 to 1996. The households that traded most averaged an 11.4% annual return during a period where the overall market gained 17.9%. These lower returns were attributed to overconfidence.

A 2014 paper (revised 2019) titled “Learning Fast or Slow?” analyzed the complete transaction history of the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992 and 2006. It looked at the ongoing performance of day traders in this sample, and found that 97% of day traders can expect to lose money from trading, and more than 90% of all day trading volume can be traced to investors who predictably lose money. Additionally, it tied the behavior of gamblers and drivers who get more speeding tickets to overtrading, and cited studies showing that legalized gambling has an inverse effect on trading volume.

A 2019 research study (revised 2020) called “Day Trading for a Living?” observed 19,646 Brazilian futures contract traders who started day trading from 2013 to 2015, and recorded two years of their trading activity. The study authors found that 97% of traders with more than 300 days actively trading lost money, and only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage ($16 USD per day). They hypothesized that the greater returns shown in previous studies did not differentiate between frequent day traders and those who traded rarely, and that more frequent trading activity decreases the chance of profitability.

These studies show the wide variance of the available data on day trading profitability. One thing that seems clear from the research is that most day traders lose money .
