Thanks to all for the input!
I've only been trading for a few months, and am still up about 20%, but I was up over 100%! All my stocks are down at least 15% today! The advise I've gotten has been "trade what you know", and since I'm a software engineer, I've put all my $$ into the tech sector, specifically internet.
I believe strongly in the internet ... I quite frankly don't see how it can go anywhere but sky high. I personally use the internet all day, every (working) day, for business, shopping, info, communication with friends & family, etc.
But, these price fluctuations are really wild!! They're talking about a possible dominoe effect, bears reporting on their chart readings, etc. on CNBC. Now I see why there are so many "Traders - control your emotions" books out there!
I'm holding ... nervously! Thanks again for the support! :-) |
