Autumn, Beautifully said! Bravo! Taking responsibility of one's actions is the name of the game and it doesn't matter whether your trading or just living your life. Jo ;-))

Well said Autumn~ There is a multitude of knowledgeable and excellent traders who post here, and there are many ideas to DD for the buy and hold type investor as well. I am actually in the process of SEPARATING my account into an investment account and a trading account. My short term hold strategy has been very profitable, but also very tiring! CNQR has been touted since the initial drop (not long to wait for a triple!) We all bought PPRO, AGIL, etc. as IPOs. There's a lot of good ideas here, and oftentimes people don't like to post their sells as I personally feel it is inappropriate ... Like you said, most of the people here are able to pick their own exit points. I personally have been spooked out of a stock because someone was posting that it was overvalued, only to watch it go up quite a bit more. (Learned my lesson on that one). We all have different time frames and targets in mind. Though it would be nice, I simply haven't been able to time daily tops and bottoms on every stock in my portfolio! Yes, this thread is great for the experienced traders, but also a wonderful place for others to learn. If someone has a question but is afraid to ask, I can assure you that just about everyone on this thread would be gracious and happy to answer a PM. Kind of a weird day today ... wish I had done more buying this morning, but I honestly thought the market would be bad all day and into Monday. Have a great weekend everybody, Jean

Autumn, Excellent post!! <<<It would be doing yourself a big favor......and you can start personally taking l00% responsibility right there for the first time and start getting used to it.>>> Absolutely correct!!! You must be buying for a reason, to make money of course. Cut your losses when your stock heads south. And very important-- Use a good trading system as RT3. ECN trading is very important in the fast moving mkt. No need to have a discount broker that you cannot get a execution with. About the Rating of thread, how bout Kim's Double Black Diamond Thread BB :)
