O/T - Stefan - My heart goes out to you, as I can relate to your emotions and mistakes 100%. I tried several years ago to trade ala Thean, and had exactly the same results you have had. You must know the style you are comfortable with, and let nothing take you from that path. Although I have no open positions in the semi's, I read this thread because I like the chemistry that goes on here, and I know many of the suspects here from the Strictly Drilling thread. It's also a bit of discipline for me, since I get those heart palpitations whenever one of the threads picks breaks out and runs, and I want to reach for that trigger so bad! Every time I've tried the results have been mixed, with BBY being a big ouch late last year. So I don't. I know I've left a lot of money here, but I am making an obscene amount trading drilling stocks this year, so that is where I will focus! Some books that helped me:

The Intuitive Trader - Robert Koppel
Trading for A Living - Dr. Alexander Elder
The Inner Game of Trading
The Outer Game of Trading - both by Robert Koppel & Howard Abell
The New Market Wizards - Jack Schwager

Good luck!

Alex
