I'm sure there are some useful books out there, but really mine is a home-grown strategy after being a LTB&H in 1995. The semis crashed that year in the Fall, and had a rough '96 and I kicked myself for being stuck in them. The technology is great, but when the stocks are so inherently volatile, buy and hold can kill you. <g>

Capital preservation became job #1, trading to make and keep profits became my mantra.

The formula is simple, do your FA and identify 5-7 companies that are solid and reasonably valued. Watch them like a hawk and get a 'feel' for how they trade. Think contrarian and don't be afraid to book profits. I have found that stocks have run away from me only about 25% of the time, and if they do, usually there is always another candidate to trade. Often I can re-establish a position at a lower price, all the while building a 'cushion' through trading that position.
