I think Ira offered some good advice. If you want to trade individual stocks
then I suggest you get away from the high flyers and use a methodology which
combines fundamentals and technicals ... HGS Investor is one such
methodology which has worked well for me in the past. Frankly, I'm not doing
that much with individual stocks these days, although I expect do more as
the air comes out of the market. I have traded the index futures (mainly
emini) for years. More recently, I have used SPX LEAPs for trading longer
term trends without being shaken out as easily as with the futures. Both
have their uses. A $40,000 account is quite workable for the emini, grains,
bonds, etc. Options can provide lots of leverage, however buying premium
(especially short term) will kill an account. The key here is to manage your
risk per trade at 2-3% of account value so a bad run can not wipe you out.

Subject: [RT] Commodities V. Stocks? Read Whats tradeable?
I have heard and.....and it certainly seems reasonable, that commodities are
more likely to follow and trend and are less manipulated than stocks. This
seems to increase the likeliehood of success tradingh them, is this true?
Or the real question I want to ask, given a $40,000 account, what asset
class that has been discussed here, is the most "tradeable". This being with
a reasonable learning curve.
I would love to have a discussion about this, im tired of trying to chart
the fact that the CEO of the company I own has a golf course in his
bathroom.
