It would be remiss of me not to give thanks to you during this Thanksgiving season for all of your wise and profitable trading advice and wonderfully captivating and intense diaries. You are indeed very generous to your subscribers.
Based on what I have received so far it could not have been more fortuitous for me to have taken up your generous offer to profit from your brain trust.
I have positions in Apple (AAPL) and the Financials (XLF) based on your recommendations. Although I am not fond of Citigroup (C), JP Morgan (JPM), or Wells Fargo (WFC), at least I see (GS) in there!
I really find it somewhat difficult to place trades for the yen (FXY). My parents fled China during the Japanese invasion and settled in Burma where my father's family had a teak lumber business. ?He was cruelly tortured by the Japanese, so I try to avoid anything produced by them.
I drive a SAAB car?(born of jets!!!), own a Bang & Olufsen stereo and a Phillips television set, and rarely eat sushi. ?
I know you have extensive contacts with the Japanese peoples, culture, and economy and it would be foolish of me not to heed your excellent advice on the yen, I just haven't gotten my mind around to it yet.
Do allow me to offer "A Million thank you's" for your excellent trade advice and wonderfully prolific magnum opus diaries!!!!

That Was Some Move!
Thank You John,
While I was away at a car show today, my sell order was filled for my iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (TLT) August, 2015 $125-$128 in-the-money vertical bear put spread at $2.90.
I bought it at $2.62 after your Trade Alert. My profit was $2.89 - 2.62 = 0.27 x 3800 = $1,026.

I hope that this note finds you well.
Thank you for everything you do to make my world a better place. I am simply, grateful.
Please let JT know I said he?s earned every minute of his upcoming vacation.
I am grateful he challenged me to do more, and that I accepted.
I hope our paths cross soon, until then stay inside & hydrate.
Thank you again?. :)

I bought Theravance Inc. (THRX) call options at 20 cents and sold them for 95 cents. Thank Jim Parker for the lotto win.

Really enjoyed the Chicago lunch with you, Jim and the guys from Toronto. My trading improved just from the two-hour lunch seminar. Looking forward to coming in the spring if you do another Chicago lunch.
Thanks,

Thanks so much, John and Jim, for coming up with The Mad Day Trader! I especially appreciate that you'll be using ETFs (they are so convenient...and I can trade without triggering short-term taxes, in my IRA).
I Also like that you're including a focus on metals, as I'm already?trading (GLD), (SLV) and their inverses (DGZ),?(GLL), (ZSL), and (DUST) on my own (and?making excellent profits), but have been wondering, "Where can I find a pro's guidance on daily?entry, exit, and pivot points."
Well, you just answered that burning question and have made my month!
Count me in as a?subscriber. Send an invoice as soon?as you want!
All good wishes,

Just want to let you know that I have had some great trades with you this year. I made the most money on (FXE), with (IWM) in second place. (IBM) was in third place - with one trade from you and comments from Jim Parker.
I've found that when Jim says a stock has hit bottom it's usually a good time to buy, even if he doesn't send out a Trade Alert. You were right when you said we can make more money waiting for a few good trades instead of overtrading.
Most of the money I lost this year was from my own mistakes - overtrading, not stopping out and waiting too long to take profits. My intention was to do only what you said, but the market is very tempting.
After looking back on my trades this year, I'm thinking I should reconsider and sign up for Jim's service again. It doesn't take many trades to pay for the service, even if I can't keep up with it all the time. And I learn a lot from him too.
I expect 2015 to be a great year! Safe travels over the holidays!
