I've made a bundle trading COHR around a core position that keeps growing and spinning off cash. It has been wonderfully volatile lately. I sent an email alert about it to subs today. Someone with a radio show (RIP) and little technical education or expertise used to say "Intel is a great trading stock" but he never gave buy or sell advice that I could tell on his show or the radio. I was new to this stuff and kept asking myself "what makes a great trading stock?" The answer is simple, really. A stock with enough volatility to trade around a core position, much like surfing powerful waves around an average tide mark. Even better is you trade stocks with wonderful fundamentals that you'd feel comfortable carrying shares through a downturn so as to not lose money buying too late on the next upturn as most "regular" people do such as LRCX has been for me since buying at 33.3¢ a share split adjusted way back in the 90s.
