This has been a wild year, but good plays have come from it. Keep these on your screen and you can make $3 - $7 from each. They give good entry points and can show a quick couple of point gains. AVEI, LCOS, ALTR , DIS

I can tell you that historically my biggest losing days have come right after my biggest winning days. I have learned over time to reduce the feeling of invincibility in trading to a manageable level...however, personal psychology is something that all traders, experienced or otherwise, will have to deal with every day. As a wise man once told me, "Once you learn how to NOT lose money, making money is easy." Michael Turner Author DayTrading into the Millennium tradersresource.com
