RE: "...Cary's mandir..." So Cary has a mandir. He probably should find out what that is!

<You are practicing abstinence at home but indulgence abroad, so to speak. <g>> It is ok not to make money but not ok to lose money Sam: I have tried tried LT investing and ST trading. I found that cash is the king. I have reached a conclusion that for me ST to MT trading works best. This day trading is only occasional urge to deal with the midlife crisis <g>. Just to get some money for our Puerto Rico trip. I am going there to teach a short course. I will not continue like that. Usually, I hold stocks for a week to two months. I am looking for a 5 to 10% jump for trades. Last few days activity was all margin money. Currently, I have only 5 stocks in my portfolio (if you call that because it may change next month): Sunw (25%, ave. 8.30) Orcl (37%, ave 12.10), mxim 20%, lltc 25% (more than 100% because of margin). Sunw and Orcl, I will hold for a 30% or greater gain. I will use margin extensively for trading. I had built my own mandir with the help of my family but it got demolished by the downturn. The new one looks like Cary's but it is distinctly different. You get to know your stocks. Making money in the market has no affliation to the profession. Pharma/biotech, when the invest money there is no certainity that you will have a product. invest/trade in rock solid companies
