Hi Clint, sorry to hear you won't be around as much next year. some ideas: set up a 'core portfolio' with growth oriented stable companies (msft, csco, lu, pfe, merk etc). Set stops if you are nervous at certain times, then set buy limits when you need to buy back. For riskier trades perhaps set up tighter stops - but it is tough (for me) not to have access through the day. I get some good ideas for core holdings from Value Line and S&P Outlook. Both are free at most libraries and tend to offer unbiased analysis. I guess bottom line, you have to take a longer term view. Most of my mistakes this year have been to sell too early. If I had just bought and held my best ideas - I would be a very rich man: AOL, MSFT, INTC, CSCO, DELL, PFE, etc. Sometimes trading does more harm than good.
