I am not spamming! I never told anyone to buy a stock! I am just making people aware of a service which might be useful to them! I have personally found it useful and would like other peoples' feedback or reaction to the service!

thxs for patrolling the threads..

anyways, finished raising some more cash.. now i feel more relaxed.. days before i was too heavy in techs in the L/T portfolio, and felt too risky.

anyway, i was reviewing my trades YTD (which i review every month), so far my biggest loss is -2.6%, and winning % trades is 66%. this is in my short-term portfolio.

My goal of this year is to cut losses quickly and not to jump into the trade until i get the signals. My approach to the market is :survival (control of risk) and capital preservation. You will be surprised how conservative I am compared others.

In my long term portfolio, I've raised cash levels and awaiting for the next opportunity to buy at lower levels. I tend to play stocks that split, which is the biggest advantage of the buy n' hold approach. In times of danger, I sell 1/4 to 1/2 of the L/T position (always maintaining some position).

So far so good. The goal in TA is avoid these "rainy days". I feel that it's working well.

some numbers to think about:

(examples only)

portfolio:$200,000

yearly returns: 60% (which as swing traders, should be a reasonable number) taxes not included

60% per year for 5 years

End of 5 years: $2 million

consistent returns... is the key.
