I'm not sure a cigar board is either, though there are some pretty savvy folks here.....

If by active, meaning trading frequent, that I am not. I do, however, handle my own funds via an online brokerage account. I research/watch/monitor daily so I consider myself active in that sense. However, most of my positions would be considered long term with the occasion short term trade.

I wish Shagga Bowden was on here. Our local share advisor.

Whatever he buys you dump. Whatever he dumps you buy. Way over 90% success rate over a decade. He should write his own investment magazine. lmao.gif

Sounds like a lot of our "experts" here in the US. I love reading some of these articles and watching the news segments in which they talk about what they would buy and dump. Most of them continually hate on Apple and they have been embarassed by their negative predictions. I have an online account but I'm not trading everyday. I've found some good solid stocks and I've stuck with them. Over time I've made money, overall. My advice, only invest what you are prepared to lose.

Just what I was thinking. However, I have been very surprised by the folks that frequent this site. (not saying that I expected simpletons to be using this site, just more impressed than expected)

I used to work on the trading floor as a commodity trader in Chicago, but I don't trade anymore. Never liked trading stocks. Commodities had more liquidity and volatility which made speculating much easier, plus it was less mainstream.

I trade options (not my main job though). Way more lucrative than stocks. Making money with traditional stocks takes too long (unless you are a high-frequency trader) or operating a hedge fund of sorts.
