I have the views but from time to time I digress when i talk to some people that thrive on options and bet their first born. ratan

ams & Richard My two cts. worth, I agree totally never allow a speculative buy to become an investment. Experienced traders would never mix the daytrading approach with that of an investor. A daytrade is usually a good trade from the beginning, if it proves wrong exit the trade and look at other candidates. I only daytrade when the right situation develops but the same principles that were learned from position trading still apply only shorter term. Take profits limit losses, preserve capital. Really enjoy the thread, thanks Irby.
