A few thoughts on trading... During my vast experience as a trader/investor, which basically amounts to about a little over two years, there are a few key points that I realized, which I find invaluable. One of which is, the trade/ decisions you make should be your own. By that I mean, if I see Last's, Jenna's, Joe's, or whomever's list on this thread or the other thread that I follow regularly, I try to take the stocks on the watch list and "make it my own" before I trade it. I cannot tell you how important this has become for me. All the times I've had successes was when I had the feeling of "taking possession" of a stock, by doing DDs and and watching the day to day price movements. The times I've had disasters were times when I just traded on faith. These trades were not my own, and thus the trades got away from me. The regular watch list posters here provide an invaluable resource for the rest of us. To take those watch list and just blindly trade it would be an injustice not only to yourself but to the posters. KNOW what you are trading.
