Barbara T=smart lady...I agree, it's tough doing the copycat thing with Kim (although I do it all the time!, just with an ounce of DD and caution)...and tough to put so much on one lady...I too wish I could hear about each time Kim pulled out of something that I'm hanging tough on, but also know that this is an impossibility and at end of day, we're all responsible for our own trades...unless of course we can work out some sort of commission based system and let Kim manage our portfolios!!...I'm game!!

I usually hold Nasdaq stocks a lot longer than just a few minutes. If I scalp a few points (in the case of AMPD on the day of runup), it's only because I use the profit to increase my short-termed position. I held IJII for several days, FVCX for over a week, GOJO for several days now. One morning, AGIL went to 65, 20 some points from my average price, but I didn't sell any (which was a mistake because I would have been able to buy back more at lower price to support the stock). I did sell some AGIL around 69 two days ago, but did so solely that I could buy more back at lower level, which I did. As I reiterate before, if the stock I post runs up above 10% from my entry point, please don't chase. Wait for a pullback or at least make sure it's not short-termed overbought first

Another example is LIOX. I held that stock for over a week and called the top two days ago around 37, when every indicator on my screen is showing extreme over-extension and overbought. I posted my sell and the stock drops 1 pt or so then came back, lingering in the 36 area for many minutes but finally dropped 10 more points, closing at 26 for the day. The selloff was too quick and on insufficient volumes, so I bought lots of shares between 26 and 28 (in fact, I posted my buys 3 times from 28 all the way down to 26) Yesterday, it gapped up a little and started running up, again on low volumes to 30. I knew the stock's momentum had waned and sold it around there. But most everyone would still have at least 15 minutes to take their profit as it stayed in the 28 - 29 range for a while. The stock closed at below 25.
