I traded too much though .....

That hindsight is amazing, isn't it ? I personally think you did great. You accumulated but you also hedged by trading some too.

I'm always torn between where to put my stops. Lately in this market loose stops gets you a loss. So I kept stops that were tight enough to take me out on the dip -- like the one that happened this morning to EMC. I also have this "I had to go to a meeting for 2 hours" situation too. Still have the QQQs I bought last Friday.

How much higher do you think this is gonna go ? I have trouble seeing a repeat of today. Bollinger Bands hint that 2000 is the top. Other info suggests maybe 1960 is as high as it can go.

Chris

Yes, it's very hard to not overtrade when we're glued to these screens...

Jerry's wife has done a good job of getting him out of the house...and away from the minute by minute trading...

You still did a very good job, Dale...this has been a difficult week to trade...but I think we'll survive!

I traded too much though susie, I should have just went to the Jersey shore

It was really great to get away from the trading minutae for a couple of days, Dale.

I checked in a couple of times on Thursday and Friday, and Thursday night, after the CSCO news, covered some networker shorts that I was swinging.

I'm still holding some long positions, but we need to see some improvement in the volume factor come next week, or back to Chop City we go.
