Tito,

with your yo-yo trades, how do you keep disciplined about getting out and locking profits when you "know" AMAT will be much higher 12-18 months from now?

i bought some AMAT a week or so at 49+. i woke up late today, but planning on selling at 55+ for a quick 10
% gain. but i wonder would i make more if i just held and waited. this happened with my NVLS positions. got in during the 30's and 40's and sold out for 10% gains. still hating it.

Henry
