>>I've watched Clint's mkt calls off and on.
Dwight, you have identified a couple of good traders--who I follow as well.
Clint used to be active on SI about a year ago and then withdrew -- and is back again. He is very good in terms of his style of trading. There are several others who are excellent: Judy who you mentioned, Kevin, Patrick, Don, Nemer, Iqbal, Jenna, OJ--with a good screening mechanism:), and others, whose names do not come to mind right off the bat. What is key however, is to recognize their styles of trading and make sure that one is comfortable with the approach that they use--in other words is it an approach that is compatible with one's own personality and risk profile. Some are VERY VERY short-term traders--others are short-term traders--and some are in it for the medium term. The one thing to keep in mind with the real short term traders is that they could be out of a trade in the blink of an eye and their ability to communicate this may vary depending on their specific circumstances.
So it boils down to what one is comfortable with -- and the ability to communicate and execute. |
