I hear ya....good strategy and yes, a couple grand is great to take and run.......but like you said, it is very stressful, and I can't begin to put a price on that. I am doing a little trading...like you...I may buy 500 - 2000 shares of a specific stock and be patient...when the volatilty gives it a point or two, I sell......I only do this with stocks I wont mind owning if they drop further and I dont have a chance to sell for a profit. But still, the bottom line for me is to try and set myself up for next bull run, so I am trying not to sell.....on down days, I just grin and BEAR it, maybe buy more and chill......if and when we get a real recovery, I want to be fully loaded. Now on the other hand, depending on the stock and the current conditions, if I hit a 100% gain, I will either sell all, half or none....if it's an iffy stock, I will sell all and run....if it's a stock I want, but have plenty of shares of, i will sell half and let the other half ride with no cost basis, if it's a stock I dont have as many shares as i would like...I just hold......good luck...glad your making some bucks.....I have no doubt your strategy is best right now...take your profits quickly and run. I also know the minute I sell and go mostly to cash, the bull will break out of the fence <ggg>, so I am making sure I stay vested at this level. if we go lower, we go lower...I'll just buy more......
