Jenna, I posted this question on the drilling thread and would appreciate your comments. I know that you have been a frequent buyer of cdg in the past. I have May 40 calls and was wondering if it would be prudent to take a 40% profit (my normal target) or let this one run into the May expiration. I can see where the latter will be more profitable......if the sector is turning around. TIA Nathan PS. Can't wait till your new site is up and running. You and last shadow are the most informative/educational traders I have seen posting anywhere and I, like many I am sure, appreciate your effort.

RookieDave.. of course you are welcome to post your picks, and I look forward to finding some neat ones in your list. I remember when I first got Telescan about 1 1/2 years ago. Then I went on to Metastock, then I recall the first technical analysis tutorials I got from lastshadow about a year ago and thinking: This stuff looks so kooky and weird, I'll never learn it or need it. Well I was wrong. I need it I love it and it's not hard to eventually catch a system that works pretty well for yourself. But it's only in trial and error and will you have the confidence to go to the next stage. Unfortunately learning to be a stock trader is not like learning to be a nurse or graphic artist. The former involves inevitably some money loss while the the latter follows a simpler more predictable path. But for me the reward, excitment and satisfaction of the trader's life way outweighs the risk and frustrations inherent in the learning process.
