HI IRIS!

Yes, i will step back and look at all the trades this year.
Sometimes it seems to help me to just watch the market without being really involved, without this feeling that i have to do my homework at night, just sit and watch, detached. The flip side of this is the experience that when i come back into the market the emotions all come back with it revealing that there is no escape of dealing with the emotions of fear of loosing, fear of missing out, fear of being wrong etc. It seems to me that i actually know enough about stocks that i could be trading good but it's the emotional part that holds me back and that requires more attention. Don't know yet how that will look like but i know that i have to spend more time with the emotions and less time reading Technical analysis books...

Thanks for your nice posts!

Hi Iris,

I am curious if you agree with the timing suggested in this post about the semi-equipment stocks.

Message 13329815

"Remember the equipment people peak a month or two before their BTB peak, historically. If AMAT breaks $80, I would say that is the proof required that the sector is done, of course, lesser stock will break before. ASML broke a neck in a head and shoulder pattern, very bad sign."
