>Researching stocks is great but if you don't know how to execute for a profit, you're lost. >A great man, my father if you must know, once told me he could make money in ANY stock as long as you knew how to execute. He said he could blindly pick a stock and make money on it (even if it was a small amount, but he'd come out on the plus side) and he often did. Baz, I agree with you any your father's advice! Knowing when to take a profit, and knowing when to cut a loss is indeed, the "art of the deal", so to speak. Research and fundamental analysis is all for nothing if one's timing is off. TA, IMO, helps greatly with timing and execution. Enjoyed your post. Ice

Well, Baz, I like to buy stocks that go up immediately and make me lots of money. I try to do that as often as possible.<g> The next best thing is having a stock at least stay above your purchase price for an appreciable period of time, so that you don't have to think about loss cutting. And whoever said that the hardest decision is selling was absolutely correct!!!!! mph(merely stating the somewhat obvious)
