Not looking healthy.

So what? Here we are a week later T, do you still think technical trading is "voodoo"?

We broke the 50, quickly sank below it, and are on a slippery slope to the 200 day. Note also how the selling volume is increasing over the last week as well.

Seriously, when exactly do you decide to sell any stock you hold and put the profits in an another stock, trading the way you are?

Are there rules or triggers that will stop you out, or is it intuition and the reports by industry analysts that cause it?

I used to trade/invest on a fundamental basis but have been very happy having rules to follow to avoid emotional trading and technicals now.

My eye opener was being introduced to them by an ER captain who was quite successful. Being skeptical, we talked a lot about the differences. It wasn't until the second trip to Starbucks on a layover, where over coffee and a hotspot, I watched him book his consecutive 2K profit in just under 1.5 hours that I started drilling into it.

LOL.. no I was kidding with the "voodoo" comment. Technical trading is a tool just like anything else. It has it's + and -. I do spend a lot of time in front of the computer watching options and whatnot, and I look at charts peripherally too. The problem with technicals is that there are so many tools look at.... Stochastics, Bollinger bands, ADI indexes... etc etc etc. I don't particularly want to spend that much time trading that way. DAL is a good buy right now, and I'll average down with it if it goes down farther. I sold out at $39, so I have some $$ to play with during this breather. It's all good at this point. Buy low, sell high!!!

I trade options and can do the same kind of thing as the guy you talked about profit wise too. It's not rocket surgery. Another APC regular trades the Vix futures though, and I think I said it before it is like he is speaking Chinese when he talks about it.

Did you get in on BABA?

Also, once you reach the 415c limit of $52000, you CANNOT contribute any money to a 401a because it is a "retirement plan." I checked on this with the Dalpa retirement guru. I'm sure she said that max individual contributions to any type of retirement plan is $17,500 for the year plus the catchup if you are over 50.

Correct. The plus 5500 was is parenthesis but I can see how that's not clear. Also the bolded "or" in reference to your 34,500 comment....

If you hit hit 17500 and 34500, the company continues to pay you the 15%. It comes to your paycheck under the header "DPSP_CASH"

When you hit 52K, correct, no more 401a money.... however many pilots (most F/O's for example) can continue to contribute because the limitation is the 17500 for them, not the 52000 ceiling..... however those contributions are not automatic and must be designated. Pretax contributions shut off automatically.

Agreed

I think you agree, my point is that $17500 is the max that can be applied to ANY type of retirement plan be it 401k or 401a (if under age 50) in a year.

I guess my question is: If the 415c limit is not a factor, why would anyone put money in a 401a if they have room in the 401k?

Might be interested in a WS in whats left of Sept. but if it was over a certain block hour amount it would create a 100/672 conflict with a big trip on 10/1. As long as I answer the conflict question "No" on the WS mask am I protected from being awarded a WS that would cause the computer to drop the 10/1 trip due to 117?

You are. The term "conflict" refers to anything at all that would cause the trip next month to drop due to having been awarded the WS.

This needs to be fixed. We should keep our Golden days if we move them around.

Oh, they'll get theirs. You wouldn't believe the wickedly creative ways they have to squeeze water out of a rock.

Who gives a crap? Golden days aren't that important. They never work us into any days off. When they do, golden days won't help you.
