Thanks for the advice Timetraveller... Your advsie is well taken to heart... but I was still wondering if there were any other tools (e.g. derivatives like options el al.) that I won't need to have a margin account to short an stock or the whole market... You have a great list in front of you.. but for the time being, I, personally wouldn't want to jump in any... You seem to be a techinical investor judging by your comments... Can't you see the market is oversold right now? I think we should expect a sesonal correction right here looking at the techincals.. I myself look at the fundamentals of the company.. Here is one which has made me a ton of money and still looking fwd in the future.. Little bit expensive than what you have but will pay off for sure... BEAV.. is in a slight pullback but I'd buy it in a couple of days... Looking fwd to some of your other recommendation and explanations if possbile... Happy trading...
