<i am pretty disciplined about skimming the cream off my stocks after they've shown a good profit and are at highs>

interesting post she, but i'm not sure i understand completely. are you saying whenever a stock we own hits a new high, we should consider selling it? i got in on a few hundreds shares of microsoft at ipo. it doubled in about 6 months time and i sold it. have been kicking myself in the pants ever since. i tried to learn from that and now try to get rid of laggards and keep the winners. therefore i tend to sell stocks that aren't performing and hang on to the ones hitting new highs. are we talking about two opposite strategies or am i missing something?
you have obviously been very successful and i am not critiquing your system. i am just trying to learn from it.
thanks in advance for a response.

on another note, i'll bet your subscribers at clearstation would go up ten-fold if you could just get them to send that pic of you on your viper with each email! <vbg>
