ProfitOften.com...great name for a website Rande. <g> You never cease to amaze me, devoting your time and energy to helping the newbie Individual Investor. If there is a message I would like to convey to the novice investor it is make sure your trading strategies fit the current state of the market. I see too many investors still applying the "buy the dip" bull market strategies of the 90's to a completely different market today. As the markets change, investors need to as well. In the current market, the only way to make money is to be flexible, nimble and play the markets both ways. Next year might be back to buy and hold again. Don't marry tech stocks, just date them while they are in their prime <g>. Learn to trade the trend you see, not force trades based on what you think should happen. It has taken me a long time to learn and apply these principles. It is really strange because something clicked for me just the past few weeks. I am finally able to almost completely take the emotions of fear and greed out my trading and focus on identifying the trend, taking profits when they are there and putting the LTBH mentality on the shelf for a while.

I think you are going to provide investors with a much needed and long overdue resource, Rande, and I commend you for taking on the forces much larger than us as individuals.
