is not sticking their own plan and getting involved in stupid day trading stuff.

The Mistake family is so large that there is always one of them around when you want to see what you can do in the fool-play line.

Watch the SOX in relation to the QQQQ's. Many of my daily and weekly semi stocks are right at or near multi year highs and volume is really pulling back on a LT basis. This doesn't mean we get a BO. Check out AMAT, LRCX, KLAC, ONNN to name a few....especially the weekly charts. Should we get a surge in weekly volume and a BO there's some potential. I am long some semi stocks and it's a trade for now.

Day trading is not stupid, if one has the necesaary tools and skills to do it. But not sticking to one's plan is....

I didnt want to offend day traders... Maybe I used a wrong word to define it.

Day trading has nothing to do with stock speculation. A day trader is not and can not be part of the big picture and can never grow rich. They live in fluctuations and that is all they can make.

Sticking to one's plan may be stupid if you do it all the time. I try to learn from my mistakes. Mistake family is too large and learning never ends.

Totally agree. It just pays the bills, especially the intraday stuff. But with sufficient leverage, it can go beyond paying bills. Getting rich - I don't know, i have not yet met one....that doesn not mean one may not exist.

Oh BTW, just to clarify, i did not call you stupid. I have respect for your trading skills. I called the act of not following one's plan stupid.
