Lane welcome to my club<G>...ya think you're alone???? but i love the markets, and their way of giving and taking back... you just have to buy those awful looking days like today... the bio techs are washed out here for sure... buy the semis you like, even half positions, and either add, going down or up...

Lane, Sometimes one's judgement gets clouded by all these goodies on sale... huge discounts... then you buy, and they open it up for a fire sale, at an even bigger discount. <LOL> I'm not immune to it either... :)) SF

I don't bottom fish.. I just come into a trend after it begins and usually leave before the uptrend is quite finished. When a bottom is 'confirmed' by multiple up days and not just one day or worse still just a last hour trade I might get in. Otherwise I do plan some daytrading this week if there is anything worthwhile. I got a surprising 'alert' today with NTBK which I have been casually watching, but did nothing. But I see there are some really 'cheap' stocks with high intraday ranges that could be fine for profitable daytrades while we wait for the 'better quality' trades for longer term. I have 'relearned' to appreciate daytrading when we had some of our watch list stocks appreciate by a lot intraday and I held on to a few, risking and losing a nice part of the gains. I won't be doing that again. A daytrader would 'die' to have the gains we had in one day yet left on the table. On the opposite side of the coin, I still have my long term porfolio with only 6 stocks and have not felt any need to touch them and am still planning to find about 5 new ones to add with the approaching season.
