alan - what you said is *so* true. i've been almost exclusively shorting since late last year...

kicked butt in march...did well in february and january...

flat in april. now, part of that is because i didn't hold my stops one day, but the main thing is...despite mainly going short (intraday ONLY), i've not reaped the benefits because i'd get stopped out on strategies that worked real well earlier...

Short or long, the one thing I've seen over and over recently is to take the damn profit quick and don't try to grab every dime, cuz they're pulling it away from you faster than I've ever seen.

There's some daytrading expo scheduled in Dallas in the next few weeks. Are you going to be there? Is anyone else?
