Nice post, Pam. I'm learning my own similar strategy, and get annoyed sometimes when people on various threads (not this one) private message me to exhort me to, "Buy now," and give me what they think are excellent reasons with a certain patronizing air, for a stock they're interested in. I also don't trade MSFT at all, and I've been learning to scalp, not living expenses at this point, but some change, out of selling QCOM puts. I like doing that. I think short-term trading a strong company as you do is also a good idea, but I have never tried it myself. I never mind when I make my own mistakes, but I get annoyed when I make others' mistakes, and I do agree with you, the sense of satisfaction of building one's own portfolio one's own way is worth a lot.
