Jimbo, congrats! I try not to worry about leaving $$$ on the table. It is much better to plan a trade and then execute it according to plan. As long as you continue to do this, the $$$ will be there. More opportunities will come along. If we were in a sustained rally, (2 consecutive up weeks), I'd leave my positions out there. However, the markets have continued to take back what they give and until that trend changes, it's best to lock in profits as you go. Inch by inch, anything's a cinch! <g> dabum

I love it when a plan comes together!! If you are a Zeev follower, then the NAZ has about another 100 pts of follow through - about 7%. By playing the high-beta, you may double that to 15%. Wow - my trading port up an unbelievable 35% since beginning of June. This coincides with my decision to employ short selling as a strategy. Have been predominantly short since that time, making some quick long-side raids when my indicators (typically TRIN) give immediate ST buy signals. I am still holding all techs here. After the viscious selloff of the past couple weeks, we need another week or two to give the bulls some hope before pulling out the rug again.
