Trading is going pretty well, and I actually feel like making a showing in this game. The more I try to do well at trading, the better I try at this game, so my picks here often reflect actual trades I'm making - as far as moving into or out of a stock. [more]

I have begun watching the markets again. I cleaned up my CAPS picks and added some new shorts, hoping to improve my score. I didn't have any money to trade in the last year, or a clue.

The top players, it has been duly noted, have more than the average number of underperform (red) picks.

If CAPS made the rules to follow, those top players rankings would fall, and mine would rise :-) Time to upgrade the CAPS rules ...

Economic news this week has been very good. Will that boost stocks back to where they were in early July? Of course not. Some uncertainty will be floating around for a while. That's why I am dumping a few stocks that although they have excellent fundamentals, I don't like their chart patterns.
