I really liked your message alot and couldnt agree more.. I typically dont purchase more than 300 shares at a time since my little experience has proven that the less you are buying/selling, the better and easier to get the fills. When I buy 1000 or more I typically get multiple fills, and unless the stock is still running when I sell I usually have to settle for selling at market unless its a very liquid stock like dell, msft- in which case if I am selling 1-2000 I never have a problem obviously.. someone once told me the phrase 'slow and easy', buy a few hundred shares, yes the gains are smaller but it makes controlling the losses much easier.. and in this market if a stock starts to run it can easily give you 2-4 points in a day- do that 2-3 times a week on 300 shares and your making a nice living. Gives me much more control. Tim, have you completely disregarded Ciena now? Would appreciate your take on this as a small position going into the new year. Anything new on PETM? other good positions include: CPQ, TLAB, T, and ARTT (thanks TATRADER for this one)
