Leland.. I'm playing quite a lot.. internet and retail sector (AEOS, BKE). I also have options in GPS and ANF since last Friday. I've gotten a 5k loss on CKFR that I'm trying to counteract.. I must say between AMZN GCTY, CBR, AEOS,I've gotten more than even.. IF there are lessons I'd like to impart to both subscribers and Silicon Investor members, it's take your profits... Don't hold 'iffy' stocks like CKFR through earnings.. If you must get a smaller share. CKFR was my first big loss in 8 weeks. Lesson #1: Take your profits, especially on a down day.. Lesson #2: Go on and put it behind you. Get on to new trades and trade without emotion. Lesson #3: Stay with stocks with the largest intraday ranges.. I had quite a few hi-flying internet stocks on my watch list last night. My rationale was that if Wednesday was going to be a rally, I wanted the 'big guns' and the 'earnings plays" (i.e. AEOS, BKE, GPS,TJX) with the most 'bang for the buck'
