Morning PB Re Dish and FDC Good as any stocks I have read most of the MarketWatch news for about 6 years, and look at perhaps 5 new stocks per day. Splits, good earnings, news. If good I add to a list,as I just did with FDC. These have been on my lists for quite a while and will keep them there for a while- I own 12 of them AGI AMZN ARIA ASKJ BDY BEAS BRCM CNBC COH CR DELL DISH EBAY FDRY FDC FR GAC.TO IGT JNPR KRT LXP NFI NXL PEI PETM PMCS PULB QQQ RCII RPT SFI SIGM TMA TSCO YHOO YUM The following IMO are not worth bothering with for various reasons mostly because the were too volatile, or grew less than the NAS or because others can beat them so I just removed them from the list. There are far too many stocks regardless, and some could outperform but they just dont fit my temperment and inclinations ATVI BRLI BUD CASH CNBC CYMI DHI DOV GNSS INTC IRF JBLU LXP MERQ NOC MIK PEI PXLW QCOM SLM TGEN UNH XLNX XMSR Brli has been a disappointment, I dont like airlines(Jblu), Qcom is too jumpy, Tgen is untrustworthy,etc Am fairly content at this time with the selections but there is one thing to consider to make faster progress which is the profit taking, especially in the last two days Stocks like NFI and Tsco have fast hard runups and then get dumped (for locking in profit) on any bad market news, then climb again to higher level. I try to sit thru those periods but sometimes have to sell to avoid margin calls. Then buy back in at a higher price as it starts back up. Discouraging. Probably no really good answers to how to handle it - the momentary tankings due to profit taking, but it would make a marvelous difference to overall profits so I consider it worth some thoughts, which should lead to gradual improvements in the months ahead. In summary, it seems just as important to decide how to handle a stock as to pick it in the first place. Regards Sig .
