I made a statement in that post. . something like. . ."regular long-termers". . . which covered the core positions that we rarely discuss here. Which reminds me. . . To all. . . For those that get confused. . . I practice "Hybrid Trading", which is a proprietary method of taking core positions at the lows. . . then adding additional position trades of the SAME STOCK at times of pending news, TA or volume increases. . . then adding swing trades of the same stock upon the start of momentum. . .and even daytrades of the same stock upon mania. . . then selling daytrades when mania subsides. . . selling swing trades as momentum turns and selling position trades when news is released or technical indicators change. . . often keeping core positions long the whole time. . . so at the end of a momentum run, I'm often left with just my core position. . .until I begin to see interest return. . . .then we start all over. This method is then multiplied across my favorite stocks. . .those that I would hold long-term regardless of momentum. . . those deserving of more. So ANYTIME I say I am selling this stock or buying that one. . . if I fail to mention which position. . . feel free to ask. I cannot give my actual breakdowns of positions. . .due to the high number of short-sellers whose sole purpose is to play against high-profile longs. As soon as the long mentions a holding, they short it. Why? I have no comprehension of why. . .nor can I relate to that sentiment. But that is why I must stay somewhat vague on holdings. . . I'm trying to make money, too. Rande Is
