Market Watch for the week of 8/9/2009

Well Greg, I'm pretty new to trading so take this for what it's worth. There is a TON of info right at your fingertips and I think it would be REALLY helpful if you were a full time trader, but just like any platform it looks a little crowded right from the get-go. It will take me a little time to get it to a place where i can use it. Its pretty cool that it streams CNBC video directly into the program, if you like that kind of thing. There is live news streaming constantly and if you are watching a chart there is a button called "LIVE NEWS" that will put a small news window right under the chart.
All the usual charting and drawing tools look easy to use (if i knew how). I guess what it boils down to is that EVERYTHING is customizable on this and it has every tool you could possibly want. I always wondered why they always show traders with 2 huge monitors in front of them and this really helps me understand why. This program will let you put anything and everything a trader could possibly want directly in front of you with no flipping around.

I used to trade with a group of hardcore TA guys who mainly traded stock options and futures... they all used TOS before TD Ameritrade bought it. They loved it. The other 1/2 of the group used eSIGNAL for TA, and traded thru interactive brokers to get their fills.

Looks like they have contrarian indictors built right in - CNBC - just trade opposite! Look what those guys did to my AMZN trade - bastards, LOL.

This is very big..its gives siri the opportunity to bring their current interest rates down...push debt payment out untill 2015...to accumalate cash on hand, boost credit rating and big money should come pouring in..........

This could bring the share price up fast and furious... more in the short term that we been hoping for 4 or 5 years out..........
This is great news...........

Good - maybe it'll keep 4 over 1 in my new elliot wave count, and help bust the semi-pennant formation.

Good evening Bass...funny, I got in Qasp today @.039, just below where you sold, probably not too smart an my part, Oh well.

I love bass fishing but have not had a chance to go this year. I used to go every night years back when my ex father in law and I would stock local ponds with some whoppers and fish them everynight at dusk. I plan on getting back to that next year with my son when he turns 4 and try to turn him on to fishing.

You know people are tired of waiting for miggle to do something when the bashing has stopped for the most part over at the spoke

. I'm in at an average of .001 so I have no choice but to wait. I have the most $ in this one and scour the internet for news and never find anything.

good evening atm. i sold for my own reasons. i think i was the first one to get in this after bill posted a chART of it.. i opened with an initial investment of 1k at .030, then added on the downtrend another 6k averaging down to about .16, i then bought an additional 1k at .050 thinking it was gonna test .06. so , i sold where i did to lock in profits, recoup any losses and start over where i feel comfortable. i profited very well off of it. i said yesterday if it didnt stay above 5 i was out. i put in a sell this morning, got a good deal and said i will buy in low 30's and 20's. i missed my buy in the low 30's but im up on my RTGV (where i dumped more money - and avg down a considerable amount) trade today ....

i am far from done with QASP. i know its potential, and its pullbacks. this is a fun game to be a part of.
