Kenneth and Gottfried, thanks for the Tips. Day-trading stocks (with narrow spreads) sure will help me improve my reflexes. I've been accustomed to successfully Dip at the bottom that I often forget to protect my paper gains when the stock forms a Landing that breaks in half with a crash...I finally pinpointed the weaknesses in my over-all strategy:---when the AMAT Kid is playing the Yoyo while ascending the stairs, hold to the vehicle longer; when the Kid is in the Landing, Pausing or Consolidation Mode (now going on since the middle of Aug), alternating Release and Hold should be employed...Earlier in the year I correcly identified the beginning of the Ascending the Stairs Yoyo mode when I was telling the thread that the stock is going from the low 60s to the 100s, but was not able to employ the best strategy when I sold and bought too soon as the Kid ascended the stairs...
