Oh Jim..I was thinking of you this morning. Thought you might have stayed in. By the way the irony is that you asked me what a swing trade was and I was going to answer that QLGC was a good example of a great swing trade.. It was up over 4 points in a 1-3 day hold. A swing trade is holding a stock for a minimum of 2+ points from 1-5 days. I've been doing that more lately since I limited my option buying drastically. I noticed that one of the reasons I was a 'daytrader' was because I didn't trust options for more than 48 hours, but little by little as the market gave me confidence (since the internet stocks 6 months ago till today) I've been holding positions (stocks not options) up to 7 trading days. QLGC was an exception!! but Jim, you'll learn it takes time.. I'll learn better also. Every earnings quarter I do better and better. The last tankeroo I had was PWAV two quarters ago. That was over 6 months. The one before that was TLDCF another tankeroo that cost me my option. Otherwise I've been fine with my methods, not hurt that much and getting stopped out of the occasional bad trade.
