I agree that we're probably looking at a pullback and that the rally last week was a simply bear market rally. The SOX might be a good candidate...
Commisso, That is correct. According to the new stated rule, those categorized as daytraders with more than $25K will now be allowed 4 to 1...
If memory serves, the rule will be going into effect sometime around October.
I haven't used them, but I personally don't think much of these high priced, hand-holding outfits that basically tell you what stocks to trade and...
For intraday right now, there are trends (mostly down), but in order to stay in you need to keep looser stops with the whipping around that...
I've been quite successful riding the downtrend during this bear market the past couple of months. For instance, I held a short position on JNPR...
To answer the other part of your question, yes you can short the QQQ's, as well the SPY's and DIA's on a downtick.

I honestly am not usually on different sides of a trade in two different stocks very often (perhaps a couple of times). Most of the stocks I...
Sailplane, It sounds like you don't really use stops, which is playing a very very dangerous game. If all you're doing is taking a position...
Personally, I would wait to see if it moves back up toward what now would be resistance before going short, rather than chase the price on the way...
