Just picked this up on kindle...really cheap. Read a couple chapters seems pretty good.
Any technical traders want to tell me if I'd be on to something or (more likely)completely wrong to say Pandora should decrease over long term due to it falling below its 200 period moving avg. Maybe using a 200day moving avg is absurd in itself?

Looks like it's getting close to being a short worthy stock.
You can see three red range bars about to touch the blue line. Below those you can see the line for RSI hugging the bottom red line too. Once it breaks the bottom blue line, it'll be interesting.
What's the timeframe for your OHLC? that's not a daily or a weekly chart.
Ha, thanks for that. I usually deal with Forex, so I usually just have it at range bars with a range of 12 ticks, and look at daily charts. Pretty long day, forgot about changing my bars, and everything else basically.

It seems to be starting to turn from a downtrend to a uptrend, The arrow indicate a classic MACD buy signal in the making.
Long term, it is in a downtrend too but seems to be losing steam on the short side. The MACD histogram trend is going flatter. if it start uptrending. i might consider a buying long for a swing.
If i was a long-term short on P, i would start thinking to cover as soon as the MACD-histogram or the 13 week EMA slopes goes positive.
If i was a short-term short, i would have covered Tuesday.
Kind of lost with some of the terminology you used but i appreciate the help! Looking into it some more. Where did you learn to trade with technical indicators? Any tips for a noobie?

Really wish I wasn't already heavily invested in 3D printing, cause DDD and SSYS are at good prices right now. I don't want to weight my portfolio more in that one sector, so no buy for some time.

Keep a trading diary.
Print/save the charts with the indicators that made you buy an equity. Write what the indicators told you. Write your buy price, your stop and you target price.
After you sell, print/save the charts. Write down what made you sell. Come back to it a few weeks/months later and compare with the current charts. Don't agonize on money left on the table.
Manage your money. Know in advance how much you are willing to risk on all your positions. In practice, it mean using a stop loss order and limiting the size of your investment to meet the requirement of your money management parameters.

When I saw 3D skyrocket I thought I had missed a chance. Turns out, the market is the market

It's been going back up real quick. Everything has gone back up. Unless you were stashing cash, the recently opportunity for most stocks is gone or going.
You can thank the biotech sector for this. A few things happened in succession and biotech dragged down the nasdaq along with it. Looks like the bottom was reached last week.

The bolded is definitely never true. There is always an opportunity to make money in there. It's just a matter of finding it, or having your friend at Goldman Sacchs tell you where it is.

I sold half of Apple last week to put the other half in Google. I prefer having this balance. Still have too much in Amazon to my liking. Watch it get crushed tomorrow evening
what does everyone think of the alibaba ipo?
I hope it falls I want a good buy in point

Is it worth buying AAPL after the stock split?
Why wait till after the stock split if I may ask?
Also do you have any finance / accounting experience that you can read their financials or understand their business and the fundamentals?
I bought AMZN today.
I'm sorry.
I'm mostly out still. Awesome ride that CUDA had today.
I'm undecided on what to invest in.. Be patient, right?

I added to AMZN, not really a big deal this drop IMO. I think the stock will continue to be shaky because it was a free ride until recently, but paying taxes will just push them to be even more hungry to grow. I like the CEO, so I have long term faith.
I think AMZN will become a big service company. Prime + phone + internet service bundles, they might compete/replace some cable companies, while also delivering you your groceries, 3D printing on demand, etc. Economies of scale will allow them to compete against others. AT&T won't be able to offer you a lower price as a result of also selling you their carrots, Amazon will. But it will be a big up and down ride because when they have temporary losses on their #1 front, the one everyone is aware of, people will panic and think they are screwed without realizing where the company is really going. If they explained everything they wanted to do now, it would just scare investors.

So, I got some advice in a thread I made on OT, someone suggested sticking to ETFs and indices. Suggestions for specific indices?

Thanks
Pre-financial or after when you bought it?
Pre.I've owned it for several years now. I've been selling calls on it. I sold than bought cheaper but should've waited longer. Just playing the timing game some. I should've waited before I bought again.
Down almost 10% today. Is it time to jump in?

Who knows, but I can't add, already have too much.
Eh...short term shocks.
I expect BAC to perform quite well in the third and/or fourth quarter.
Apparently there is another $13 billion charge coming their way soon. Once they settle that (presumably over the summer or hopefully then) I think they're good to go. I think they're a BUY right now.

Came into some money recently and looking to invest. (from Aus).
Is now a good time to buy into Apple or wait closer to the 7/1 split?
