Sorry Jenna, I didn't mean it like that...I thought you were talking to everyone not just me...I was somewhat confused as to what you were saying about trading. Still am<g> The 30% comment was misunderstood I think...it's happened before...I meant...over time, I could make 30% trading any stock if I had to. I never say it correctly...anyone could. Just trading the swing patterns in any stock a person can easily make a 30% gain over time.... I've said this before as an example...and had the same reaction, no I don't make 30% on a single trade....well it's happened but that's not what I meant to say. Over time anyone can make 30% trading a single stock...that is not that hard...that's what I meant. however, I do try for 5-10% going into a trade, but in reality I take whatever I can get. I end up scalping more often than that....that happens a lot because I try to avoid losses no matter what the size. If a trade doesn't work out as expected immediately you are probably wrong on the entry and getting out flat is not a bad strategy.....getting down say 50% on a trade takes a 100% gain to recover....thats not a position you want to get into very often. Once you hold past 10% you are looking for trouble. I hope I said it clearer this time.
