Had fun today and I hope all you traders had a good day also. When you are sitting on cash you can just step up and make some great daily trades when you get situations like what occurred today. It's a lot tougher to pull the buy trigger when one is watching their portfolio go down. That's one of the main reasons I'm a strong advocate for having a core portfolio and a trading one. Each one must be handled differently. Core's should only be established at low prices. It doesn't bother you if INSP falls $10 to $134 when you own it at $20. I didn't take any trading positions home over night but after today's $6 to $10 moves, there wasn't any reason to do so. Let's hope for another repeat of the same in the next couple of days. BTW, for those of you that don't have low priced core portfolios, don't worry. You will get your chance. Just remember that INSP could have been had on a split adjusted price under $20 just several months ago. There are many dozens of other excellent companies that were just as good or even better. We will have some major corrections this year and that's when you can establish your core positions. Additionally, there are always good companies that haven't started their run. In either case, do your DD and when they sell off, buy them only after they trigger very strong buy signals.
