I'm curious what that winning percentage has been, since November of 2008.

How much of a total portfolio increase does that represent?

I believe that even 100's trade more quickly.

20% would be reasonable for a savings account or long term. I would go with the 5% at the CU if there were no penalty for using my money. Keep in mind that with taxes and inflation that's a loss. 20% would come closer to even.

After looking at this TRO method for a couple of months I have to say that using a lot of obscure undefined indicators to simply see price is moving one direction or the other apparently works for some but is not for me. And all the drama, all caps and huge images over and over are not for me...

It turns out the information from Ameritrade was correct. An IRA does not allow borrowing money to purchase stock or any other security. Also, there is no shorting of stocks.

Well then I certainly won't be encouraging you. As a retired real estate broker, when someone would ask me about running, I would gladly listen and talk with them, or if they wanted to talk about their hobbies, or their kids. Why not?????? If someone responded like you, "hey why don't you...

It would be helpful if someone could explain what the various columns are. Does anyone know? I get the symbol part and that's about it. Thanks.

Warren Buffet can afford to buy stock, and what else would he do? It's not like he's going to stuff what he has in a sock. Even if the market does go below 2000, he's better off owning companies than losing it all in banks that keep failing.

Bnaimy, thanks for sharing your ideas. Would you mind saying what percentage stop you use, and how you provide for an exit on runners? Cheers. :)

How much $$ volume. The reason I'm asking how many trades is because I don't know if that makes a difference, or if it's only the dollar volume that matters.
