..I have an even bigger list of stocks that were up today, so what, the most up list is always full and many were already 'buys' this week like IMGN, PLNR, NPSP, TGH. The hard part is finding the stock you are ALREADY IN that gets its way into the most up list (or most down if you are short which happens even more frequently) AFTER you have picked it up. We are privileged to find 1 or 2 that nearly every day but not all of them. Sure we have 'strong' stocks but many of us can't 'resist' the lure of a potential double bagger in one day (like 10k).. so we might have 20% of our 'watch list' eyes on wide range stocks for a very strong bounce which we get and if we have to chance a 2 point loss once in a while is the way real traders trade and those that 'have only winners' are real geniuses or something else. If you have 75% winners that are very high profits like double baggers in options and/or 10-100% or more profits on 4 trades (including of course options) and 1 losers for 2 points or (2% losses) you are a very good trader. Like the trader who miraculously doesn't seem to get stopped out of any stock, or don't say anything until after the stock has rallied finally in the last price of the day and they were 'in'. When you post "updates" throughout the day on stock positions its more difficult than coming out the end of the day and talking about gains it doesn't really mirror the vagaries of a real trading world.
