Well I'm no fool.. MY PLAN is to be that much invested but as of now I'm still 8% invested but my trading portfolio has about 22% trades.. so basically I'm still hitting and running. I would like to rebuild a longer term portfolio and will have the stocks chosen by now through mid-May according to the earnings results but if the "Market Climate' is destroyed by Greenspan and more rate raises, I will change my strategies accordingly. I have never been so much in cash and save for a few goodies in my hubby's portfolio, which I might cash in as well, I'm sitting on my 'investments' keeping them small enough and 'liquid' enough to sell if I have to. That's why when I hear someone is 'loading up' my first thought is 'how quickly can you get out if the bottom drops out once again?" I've followed a few threads today and some posts I missed yesterday.. Everyone I have seen are just daytrading and scalping no matter what their 'thread philosophy' espouses. By trading the best earnings plays we are assured of at the very least some good intraday gains of 10 points (12% or more) rather than the slight gains made through scalping very questionable stocks. Most are doing no homework. Some, at best, are running a few scans the night before but not following fundamentals at all, and at worst getting in on 'momentum' trades after the 'news' has already come out and the stock is on the downward trough. Its a 'guessing game' and hope they will succeed. I was following some earnings plays today and they were doing great intraday.. Even such 'leftovers' as SBUX and a more obscure earnings play on our list: SFS, which was up nearly 8% on nice volume.
