No, I held 30 min and sold for 109 5/8. This is after the fact, but I bot at 106 1/4 late afternoon, holding overnight, which makes that buy a swing trade. If you must know, yes I have losing days throughout the year but I am ahead so much I don't really mind a losing day. Futhermore, playing solid companies like MSFT I always have the option of just holding until I do have a profit, I also have patience, maybe not as much as you. When I play doggie momentum stocks, XYBR for instance, I keep a tight stop loss. I will add, some days I might make several round trips in MSFT, buying when my tick chart turns up & selling when it turns down. I may lose on some trades, just so I win overall. There is no such thing as a sure thing and I expect to have my share of losing trades. If I never lost trading would not be any fun.
