OK - thought that I would throw this out for discussion. I have been doing the stock thing for about a year now - guess that the "indicator" I follow most is news. (For the life of me I cannot figure out why stocks are valued as they are - have read the theory but do not see this in reality) - so news it is and "cool things that turn me on" ie. General Magic / Pordico. This is the way I traded Apple/the market - I started with little $'s so it did not seem to make sense to invest and wait. So, I tried getting into the day trade game... seemed to work with other stock but never seemed to work that well with Apple - not sure why? Anyway, when Apple was moving I would sell - even if I felt it was going to go higher - use the profits to earn additional margin and buy write back in. ie. if I was ahead 2K - I would sell and buy back 4K of stock ASAP. Every once in a while I get caught on a "high" and have to wait out an adjustment... Anyway - I'm now sitting on a lot of Apple at @ $37.25.. am not worried but I feel I've missed a lot of day trading over the last two weeks. How do others aggresively trade Apple. Options etc. scare me rotten because I do not understand them. I don't mind taking risk - I would much prefer to day trade (I use Etrade) but sometimes I wonder if I would be better off with a full service broker - who might be part of the MM "insider stuff" that you hear about. Any thoughts or observations on this.... Also, this may sound strange - but do the "clever" Apple traders trade during certain hours - ie. let the opening hour of the day do its thing and then participate. For instance - the last 10 minutes of the day seems to be a good time to sell - general comments on Apple. Looking to gain insights from the experience of veterans. Regards, Hugh Evans
