hi guys

buying the best stories with a goal of making big gains requires holding onto shares unless forced out . . .

it normally takes at least four months to determine if the anticipated growth in a DI continues. . . you learn if the anticipated strong growth is happening and if it will continue following the company's conference call . . these calls occur every three months . . that's why you are trying to hold unless forced out . . investing isn't brain surgery . . some common sense is mostly what is needed, along with patience and discipline if the best stories are purchased . .

most of the best of the best require six to twelve months to make their big moves . . again it's what is said during the calls that indicates if the hyper growth continues . . if it does, prices will continue to move up . .

I'm buying the best stories hopefully at the beginning of their moves . . the ideas I buy rate A or a 10 or whatever one might use to score the idea as top score . . for me I'm only buying those I believe will go up 50% in the coming six to twelve months . . once the big idea has moved up significantly I'll be looking to sell some shares IF I haven't revised my valuation prices higher . . if I revise them higher I'm thinking about selling unless the rules force me out . .

Valuations are not stagnant. . they change . . at some point the growth for every big idea will slow . . when I feel it is that's when I'm looking to sell SOME shares at price levels I feel are overvalued . . trust me, the big boys don't continue to buy when they believe valuations are too high . . most begin selling then . . stocks are not going up without the big boys participation . .

I don't use any analyst price targets when I'm making my initial buying decisions . . these decisions are based on grading factors like the DI ideas, business model uniqueness, growth trend momentum, market opportunity, etc . . . score an A for every factor and then I'm looking for a good buying opportunity . . the best ones when the BTT market says GO . . the best near the LP or below it . . the next best the B+ ones . . for the W fans it's the early JAC and springs . .

the big money is made by getting in the big idea early in the move . . IMO doing so is intelligent risk taking . . intelligent risk taking doesn't mean I won't be wrong . . I am and when that is the case I get out with a small loss or small gain . . it's the big winners that produce big gains . .

my thoughts for what the are worth

Thanks!

I had totally missed that. Coincidentally, my 8 week hold on the recent IPO making new highs today ends tomorrow and I had planned on reassessing. THe plan now is to hold four more weeks on renewed strength as the stock comes out of the current consolidation. That will make it a 3 month hold so it's along the same lines.
