a lot of things in your post to think about on a holiday weekend

as far as the Z, I have all the trades in Excel so can pretty much sort any way you want to
but for groupings, averages, etc I'd need some one to do the "macro"'s

taking losses: you seem to be trading better than I have ever seen you: so progress comes, over time; we all learn more at this game, every day
as long as our funds grow and mistakes are fewer we are doing well

averiging down on "big/good" stocks for holds
I like to decide how much I might want at maximum; for a longer term hold
then I pick 3 prices; one at a "normal" buy point--- buy 1/6th there
then a "fall" point maybe the 2nd level support or the 60 DMA or somathing---buy 2/6;s there
then a "wish" price; lower long term support, maybe 200DMA, or so, a real "wish" price
if it ever falls there on say a market panic; buy the last 3-6th's there

don't let my CUST short scare you from a long for a swing trade; this one moves all over the place; I have no idea where it might end up but want shorts in at various levels for the longer term

DIR, the only problem is the huge float, 100mm shares or so
I think that will keep it from ever being a true "net-like" runner
I think there might be better ones in the same sector

just came in from the pool to take a peek here then try some fancy ideas with fish and veggies (steamed on the grill), and garlic/tomatoe/cheese bread on the grill
hope I dont mess it up

too darn nice to be inside

all have a super and safe 4th
