i have been doing day trading for about a year but i am busy and dont have time to sit and watch the stocks everyday. now i am trying to use another way to make some money and that is to buy a stock and hold it for a few days or a week and make some money from it. i am using MACD, STOCKASTIC, RSI and support level to make a predication when will the stock bounce back for a few days. i tried once and i was able to make 0 on a 00 investing in a week.

What do you think of this Dialogue between the Lebanese Leaders?

Please read it all:

Among those present were: Saad al-Hariri, Fouad Siniora, Nabih Berri, Walid Jumblatt, Mohammed Raad (representing Hassan Nasrallah), Michel Aoun, Amin Gemayel, Samir Geagea, Suleiman Frangieh, and Michel al-Murr.

**

Siniora: I’d like to call this round table to order. Gentlemen, please… If I could have your attention…

Aoun: (muttering) Let’s get this over with.

Siniora: Excuse me?

Aoun: Nothing.

Siniora: Did you say something?

Aoun: No.

Siniora: I’m sure I heard you say something.

Geagea: Me too.

Frangieh: I didn’t hear him say anything.

Berri: Me neither.

Hariri: Well I did.

Siniora: He definitely said something.

(15 minutes later…)

Berri: He didn’t say anything! Can we please just move it along?

Siniora: Yes let’s. Turning to the first item on the agenda…

Aoun: (muttering) What an incredible waste of time…

Siniora: What?

Aoun: Nothing.

Siniora: There he goes again! Don’t tell me you said nothing! I heard you say something!

(20 minutes later. Everyone is shouting.)

Hariri: Hello! Yo! C’mon call it off. Let’s focus people. (Everybody ignores him.)

Jumblatt: (sitting in the corner, sending SMS’s with a bored expression on his face. He pulls out a gun, shoots a single shot in the air, and everyone quiets down.) That’s better.

Siniora: Ahem… Thank you Walid Bek.

Jumblatt: (without looking up from his phone) Ahlan wa sahlan.

Siniora: Are you sending text messages?

Jumblatt: No. Surfing the internet.

Siniora: Oh. Anything good?

Jumblatt: Have you seen this blog, qifanabki? It’s highly worth reading.

Frangieh: Oh man, I hate that guy.

Aoun: You know, so did I, but after a while he kinda grows on you. But I agree, he’s annoying.

Siniora: (clears his throat) Okay, first thing on the agenda: Hizbullah’s weapons. Can we talk about them?

Aoun, Frangieh, and Berri: No.

Siniora: Alrighty then. Moving right along. The next item on the agenda is…

Raad: Ahh, actually… yes we can. In my capacity as the representative of Hizbullah, I have a proposal to make.

Hariri: Oh?

Raad: Yes. We have drawn up a national defense strategy. If we could just pass these papers around, you will see what it is that we’re talking about. Basically, we’re willing to dismantle the resistance entirely or incorporate it into the Lebanese Army… whatever works for everyone else.

Geagea: Huh?

Raad: We think that this is what makes the most sense for Lebanon, at this stage.

Hariri: Wait, really?

Raad: No! I’m just messing with you! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…!!!

Hariri: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…!!!

Geagea: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…!!!

(10 minutes later)

Everyone: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…!!!

Raad: You should… have seen… the look on … your face… Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…!!!

Hariri: (wiping tears of laughter away) Oh my God. You had me there man. Oh damn, that was funny!

nationaldialogue

Siniora: (serious) Can we turn to the next issue please?

Hariri: Ha ha ha ha… ok ok. (Takes a deep breath). Ok. What’s next?

Siniora: The new electoral law.

Everyone: (groans) Noooooo…!!!

Siniora: I know, I know… But we have to talk about it. I’m under strict orders from the President. Interior Minister Ziad Baroud says that …

(There is a collective eye roll around the room and another round of groaning.)

Hariri: Ziad Baroud says this, Ziad Baroud says that… Who does this guy think he is?

Raad: Seriously. We just passed a new electoral law. Why do we need another one?

Siniora: I don’t know, ok? Something about pre-printed ballots, preventing corruption…

Berri: (snickering) That goody-two-shoes. Someone needs to get him a bag of marbles to play with.

Aoun: Sheikh Saad, can’t you give him a job as president of one of your companies or something? Why does he need to be Interior Minister?

Hariri: I thought of that, but he’s not interested in real estate or investing or… anything, really, other than electoral reform. The guy’s got a one-track mind. Electoral laws, electoral laws, electoral laws… that’s all he thinks about.

Murr: So create a company for him that produces electoral laws. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…!!!

(Everyone cackles gleefully…)

Berri: I move to table this important discussion until the next national dialogue session.

Everyone: Hear hear!

Hariri: While we’re at it, I move to adjourn this entire session, because I’m hungry.

Everyone: Hear hear!

Aoun: I’m starving. I didn’t have dinner.

Raad: Me neither. What’s everyone in the mood for?

(The room is silent as everyone thinks this over)

Everyone: BARBAR!

Hariri: Someone call ahead. And get the police to shut down all of Hamra, Qoreitem, Sanayeh, and Zoqaq al-Blat.

(Everyone starts filing out of the room)

Frangieh: Oh man, I can’t wait for my spicy lahmbajin with extra pickles.

Siniora: (on the phone, dictating to his press secretary) “…the national dialogue

Who know’s alot about cattle (cow) selling? and investing them?

Ok, well heres the thing I have a large land in mex and my uncle’s all tell me to buy a good 15 to 20 cows and to leave em on the land to eat.

-They want me to pay em a certain amount of money(its not that much) for them to take care of them and look after them for me.

-They say (recommend) to buy em like in May when there really skinny (sold in weight) and then sale em like in september or october when they get fat.(raining season)

-They say the expensive part is to find a place for them to eat and stuff [usuaslly expensive when u have to rent land]t i own it so thats a plus.

-They say the cows will grow usually double in size in 5 months so that means what ever i paid for them ill get double.

-OK. u see theres a problem sometimes i know cows can be a hassle sometimes they die and get sick and blah blah all that cause problems.

_so what do u reccomend or any advice or tips as a cow owner what do u do or reccomend I should do, please give out helpful ideas ? THANKS ALOT

My 401k is -52.52% What should I do?

Should I change my investment portfolio? right now I have a 100% in the Principal LifeTime 2040 Separate Account. The YTD change is -43.08. The Last 3 mo’s -27.31, 1yr -39.25, 3yr -6.02, 5yr .57

I know that I was told to not even look at my 401k because I am only 30 and it will go up and down, -52% is a lot of damn money i’ve lost.

Investment strategy: The investment seeks a total return consisting of long-term growth of capital and current income. The fund invests in underlying Principal domestic and foreign equity, hybrid, and fixed-income funds according to an asset allocation strategy designed for investors having an investment time horizon comparable to that of the fund. It allocates the assets more conservatively over time. The fund may invest in any of the Institutional Class shares of the equity funds or fixed-income funds of Principal Funds, at the sub-advisors discretion
rincipal Disc LargeCap Blend Inst — —13.04
Principal International Growth Inst — —10.46
Principal International I Inst — —8.77
Principal LargeCap Growth I Inst — —7.37
Principal LargeCap Blend I Inst — —6.83

Principal LargeCap Growth Inst — —6.77
Principal Bond & Mtg Securities Inst — —5.71
Principal High Yield I Inst — —5.54
Principal LargeCap Value Inst — —4.59
Principal LargeCap Value I Inst — —4.45
The reason that I have 100% in the fund is because I was told that the fund is diversified in itself. Meaning that it invests in a mixture of aggressive and conservative investments. Is this not true?
I also thought about leaving it in this fund hoping that it will bounce back, but if you look at its history it shows losing money for the last 3 years.

Economy and Stock Market Update (October 30, 2009)

Economic Collapse Update Note – I mention a rising 50/100 day moving average on VIX. In order for the 100 day to hold it needs to close the following week above 30.03 and the 50 must hold the 25-26 area for the next little while. Many analysists would say that the averages are flat at best, because of the big move on the day of almost 24%. This is big that it gained this much, showing more signs of a potential top on the market. It is a matter of when this happens, which is why going long is …

Thoughts on investing in Futures?

I have an MBA in finance, so I consider myself "educated" on the ins and outs of futures: I know how they work, I understand the pricing of the contracts, and I have some experience in virtual trading of futures (and I have done very well despite one very bad selection on an e-mini Russell 2000 March 2008 contract), etc. I want to start using some real money, but I find myself getting cold feet when it comes to using my hard-earned money given the huge risk involved.

I’ve concentrated on corn, oil, and index futures, which have all returned very high profits in a very short amount of time. For example, in my virtual trading account, I made nearly 00 in 2 or 3 days on 1 oil futures contract. I realize reality is much different than the virtual world, but can anyone who has real futures trading experience give me some encouragement, tips, or advice????
