Sundar, I am very bullish on INTC <I don't get up by market open time> .. First you have to get up.. that helps.. I'm usually at the computer by 7:30 and reading the financials, rechecking the charts, breakout prices, etc. By 9:00 I've scoured the real time data and listened to 'updates' from CNBC. By 9:30, I usually have an idea of one or more morning trades. I exit quickly not so much from discipline as a fear of being stuck in bad trades. I also think a person is not overtrading if net he is up on his trades, counting commissions, etc, even if it's only 150-200 dollars or so on a trade. Lately I have been trading a little more because a) there are lots of opportunities in fast markets because of extraordinary volatility, but at the same time its prudent to exit after a profit or today's gain will be tomorrow's loss (YHOO,CSCO,MSFT puts) .... b) low-priced, severely beaten down stocks are more rampant than ever before and 10% a trade is attainable. If you have the watch lists beforehand it is much easier. Most every stock that I trade is 'familiar'.. Occasionally a new one would pop up, but those I usually hold for a swing trade or position trade (SRCL, WAC, DRTE)..
