I swing big and usually have no more than five stocks in play at any given time.

I also generally like to play those with solid fundamentals in order to mitigate risk.

Sometimes the charts will show something special and I will play a riskier game, which necessitates a quicker exit strategy, similar to my brief hold of ENDP. No shares held LT there, partially thanks to the comments here.

Value stocks play an important role in this strategy, as well.

For instance, THLD has been a no-brainer buy for weeks and has finally gotten traction this week. I love value plays off of a long base, as they carry far less risk.

My maximum position is 10% by the time I purchase it, for a stock that I consider fairly safe from a business and balance sheet point of view. I don't think I would have an issue growing this into a 20% position, which is probably as high as I would let it go. I do run a fairly diversified portfolio with many positions from 1-5% of my portfolio.
