Cofer, It's been a really long time since I posted here and unfortunately life has gotten in the way of my focus on the markets. I have a little more free time these days so I am trying to get back into trading. Wondering if you would share your opinion how much time per day one would realistically need to spend to successfully trade the BTT way? Also, how many times per day and at what times (open, close, midday?) would one need to be able to check the market action? I am working on setting up a routine for myself and just want to make sure I am being realistic. I know that everyone's style may be a bit different and some may require more time than others, but for someone who wants to put in a minimum amount of time to their actual trading and going through charts, what is your opinion? Thank you!

hi lulu2001,

If you are going to follow their road map the less time you spend looking at the markets and how stocks are performing the better you will do . . ironically, when making the most money you won't be doing anything but reading the reports everyday . . the method involves buying the best stories when they are undervalued, ideally when their market turns . . . set a stop loss and as long as they continue to meet or exceed expectations you're in a position to ride them and add to them . .

I'm looking to add to the AAPL position . . I have a price where I'll buy shares . .when it gets there I'll buy . . that's my strategy and takes less than 15 seconds a day of my time to figure out whether I'm going to be a buyer or not . .

Thanks, Cofer. The more I learn/study, the more I realize how simple it really is. Not easy to get it all down, but the concepts are simple.

You got that right, Tim . . nothing is easier than following rules . . very hard for most to do . . some folks figure out that trading with an edge requires following rules . . buy the best stories when valuations are compelling is simple to do and works . . few do so, however. . .

#25 is on my top 5 stocks, but I didn't pull the trigger due to the nature of the market. It is not moving forward on a new move yet, so I didn't buy. The position, condition, and direction is not aligned and yet the message on Monday from BTT was it was a buy as it returned to the buy point. Was I wrong, no because I followed my rules. I want to put as wind at my back as possible. But with that said, I still like the company. Made decent money in ita few years ago when I first tried BTT's service.

I am focusing on the big fish in the pond. Looking for action near the 50 day line on two of the biggest BTT's movers,#1 and 11. I am holding a few shares of #19 which I am looking to establish a large position in over the next couple of years. But that will time and the company continuing to execute well and capitalize on the sales infrastructure they have built.

Just some ramblings from one that is mostly on the sidelines right now, waiting for the best opportunity.


Anyone interested in medical stocks ought to do a search on the medical device tax of 2.3% that will begin in 2013. It is part of the health bill. I will not turn this into a political statement, but 2.3% tax will increase the cost of medical devices.

Would today's action on 12 and 16 be considered possible ending actions or is it too early to tell?

Would that action be seen on the weekly instead?
