God I hope I am not, I made more profit than losses doing Day Trading than long term holds. But on this Fools forum I have lost total of 700 points in a week. Last time that happened I sold all and started again to come back strong from 500 to 2000 and now I do believe that the investmests I have chosen except a few dumb moves such as "CIT" are few. The fear remaines and hopefully; and I will never loose that fear, but learn to how to be Patient. And learn. But it remaines that I am for now a Hog long term. [more]

I saw that I would pay someone whether I want to own the stock or not a fee to "bet" on it., let's say XYZ at strike of 2.50 bidding at .40cents and I only want 1 mind you one hundred shares which is called a (contract) than I would be paying for a call or put $40.00 + SoGoTrad.com to go in 3.00+0.70+ to or I let it exprire (no more cost) or to (wow I made profit I want to Excersise option than (+ 15) My cost of loss for underlying stock is $3.50+15++0.70 = $19.20. Now let's say the underlying stock is at $2.00 dollars and I want to make profit of 5%/points. I would need to wait on long for the real money of $200+$3.00 =$203.00 cash (tied up) while no profit on -19.20 + -40.00(for the option) =-59.20 means that at real cash you deduct $203.00-59.20 =143.48 which means a price if underlying value of $1.43 so you would have to reach a gain of 45% to make a profit. Only ones who can win is the ones with a thousands of shares. Again 98% of us earn JOINTLY less than 250k and more than half of us less than $100K jointly. [more]

Sometimes we all make mistakes and we let greed of the moment take us and not think before we invest. Its only considered a good lesson when you lose a hundred and not a thousand. Hell the hundred hurts but still, I say post this lesson on your monitor. DON"T INVEST BECAUSE IT"S WHAT HAPPENING NOW. Cool down and wait, research and than do so. But even than you occasionaly will still do so, just remember to do so in small stages so at least if your wrong your loss won't be as huge and if your right =luck stood with you and this will give you time to research and calm down. I will keep this in mind next time but for now I will lick my wounds and take a bandgae to them. [more]
