"...a person does best if they find a niche to play and just focus on what they can personally do." That's how I approach this biz. Don't try to work in all sectors or in all market conditions. For example a trendless, wipsaw market is OK for ST work but not for the Intermediate or longer holding periods that are my niche. Generally stick with Oil & Gas, Defense, Precious Metals, occasionally other natural resources and a very occasional financial or tech play. Don't use margin and rarely use options. Just a specialized position trader in certain sectors I've worked with for many years. Remember you from the Market Direction thread. Good to see you here. This is a savvy, congenial group. And a positive discussion environment. Enjoy reading as well as posting here. Best regards, Isopatch
