David, You get the best post award. That was exactly what I had in mind when I started this thread. You wrote out your various plays along with your thoughts behind it. It's my opinion that when you write out your thoughts, one half of the brain communicates with the other. As you read what you wrote, you begin to decide if it sounds logical or not. I believe this is one of the problems that I have. I know what I should do, but instead I act upon my emotions. I get caught up in the hype and as I see the stock ticker move up, I jump into a position with out thinking everything out. When I commit my trades to writing, I force myself to think it out, research it, and do thorough TA on the stock and on the market in general. You wrote: I guess we should start putting a disclaimer saying that these are only our thoughts and not buy or sell recommendations, do your own DD etc.:-) Hopefully the audience will realize that we are all just learning and understand that they should make their own decisions. -Clappy P.S. I like your picks especially the DCLK/ENGA one. I was thinking the same thing myself when I saw the news this morning on CNBC.
