I've been considering doing that myself. It worked pretty well with PWER a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't tried it again. I think CXTI would be a good candidate for me. For some reason I just seem to "get" that one. I sold my DPDW for a small (very small) gain today. The B/A was at .73/.75 so I tried to sell at .74. My ask never showed up and a few more orders went through at .75, then it dropped to .70/.71 so I cancelled my sell order. When the B/A got back up to .73/.74 I tried again and it took almost ten minutes to sell at the bid. Very odd. Now that I've sold my shares though, it should hit .85-.87 quickly! Let me know how holding a "core" position works out for you (if you decide to do it). Nice close on SYNM BTW.... Best of luck on all of your trades!

Reply Pt.2: I read one poster (on one of dabum's boards I think) that was suggesting that you keep whatever gains you have in a winning trade in stock. Say you buy 1000 shares of CXTI and make 10%...You'd keep 100 shares and take your original funds back out. After a few trades like that you'd have a good sized position made up of "free" shares. Do it with several different stocks and your portfolio would be made up of the profits from all of your winners and you would still have your original trading funds. Sounds good in theory, but it kind of goes against everything that I do! That might be reason enough for me to try it. I don't know about anyone else, but I always get the feeling that I'm doing (or not doing) something small like that, that could make a huge difference in my returns. Any thoughts from you (or anyone else) would be appreciated.
