occasionally, i post my trades, but not often....no reason to cry or gloat publicly...i like to flog myself in private---hehe...and i don't know if anyone really cares what i'm doing personally, ya know? only poots i have left are dying-----june sch and nvls,,,,july amat will also be dead........i quit buying poots after i sold my cmb for a double.......... i rode mu down from 70's to 30's on a few trades, and the 30's looked very supportive for that pos....it's just too strong to poot now. semi's are on fire--i'd stay from pooting,,,,calls are probably more profitable. winning poots in the last 9 months have included MU, CDWC, Fannie mae, and amat.......losers have included sch, nke, and pvn....so, i win some and i lose some. my selective longs have done better----traded unph, cnto, ala, nem, abx, aol, athm, rig, fgi, jdec. am holding cnto, ala, abx, nem, cych, and a few others i can't remember. am in 60% cash and selling calls on most of my holding. am happy with limited gains...the biggest thing i've learned is to sell the losers, decide if it's an investment or a trade and act accordingly.....the short term covered calls that i've been doing have been some of my best plays....don't know if it's luck or skill, probably combo of both.....if god ever ask me if i'd rather have luck or skill....i'd select luck any freaking day of the week. oh, one final thing--it's just money, don't marry your stocks, and once the trades are done,,,,,move on....that's one of the hardest thing for me to do...but i learn daily....the market is a great zen master...there's much to learn. sorry for the soapbox, mythsters....
