More About Me...

I hold an MBA degree, master of business administration with concentration in finance. However I lost 70% of my investment value about $70,000 over the course of 11 years. I dare not to put up my picture on the blog for fear I am going to be tag as the biggest loser. Nevertheless I learned from the pass and changed my investment strategy. I changed my whole mindset of investment and started over with what I have left...

Another Tit-Bit...

Stock Market is a Box of Chocolate You Never Know What You Are Going to Get

Stock market is just as life. It is a box of Chocolate you never know what you are going to get. It makes you feel surprising, fulfilling, stock market is a box of chocolateexciting and happy at some time and makes you feel lost, sad, miserable and angry at another time. Its ups and downs are like the ups and downs in life. The differences are you can experience it all in a few days with the stock market.

Right after I created a “learn from the past” category for my trading. I made another mistake following one of those lessons I learned: Trading Out of Discipline and not Knowing How to Stop Caused Big Lost. Well I didn’t completely follow the lesson though. I still trade out of my discipline but I did KOWN HOW TO STOP and I stopped it too early.

As you know in my previous post I Had a Short Squeeze First Time in My Life I lost on a trade that I should have make money on. CCO is currently trading at $5.18. I shorted it 2000 shares at $5.60 but covered it too early at $5.87. I would have made $800 on that trade if I don’t follow my lesson learned. But I was holding other position and because of that I was a little bit scare.

After a few months of trading my account balance is not going anywhere. It was up to around $43,000 before I started this Blog from around $30,000 in a little more than a month and now it went back to where it was before I start day trading.

What do you think my balance is going to be down the road say half a year or 3 years from now? Going to zero? Going to double, triple? Take a guess here if you like and there may be interesting finding by the time when we look back.

    bidu ran into horizantal resistance at 288, it formed a potential triple top

    The triple top and triple bottom are reversal patterns that are formulated when a security attempts to move past a key level of support or resistance in the direction of the prevailing trend.

    This chart pattern represents the market’s attempt to move a security in a certain direction. After three failed attempts, the buyers (in the case of a top) or sellers (in the case of a bottom) give up, and the opposing group in the market takes a hold of the security, sending it downward (sellers) or upward (buyers).

    Triple Top
    This bearish reversal pattern is formed when a security that is trending upward tests a similar level of resistance three times without breaking through. Each time the security tests the resistance level, it falls to a similar area of support. After the third fall to the support level, the pattern is complete when the security falls through the support; the price is then expected to move in a downward trend.
