This is not a response to Amy. I just don't know how else to post it yet. Another rookie and I look forward to learning from you on this thread. What are you successful ones using to exit stocks during the day? Do you continually refer to charts, etc.? I was in #1 from Monday, which hit 98 at one point Tuesday, but I sold at 91 during the market sell off toward the end of the day. Same with #4 from Monday. Instead of making money I just avoided losses. There's got to be a better way to determine in a timely way that they have turned. Or do you just keep moving up a trailing stop once you are in the stock?

DELL is still the #1 stock in my opinion. Of course nothing goes up in a straight line, I'm actually surprised it was not downgraded before. Lots of people were waiting in the wings for a buying opportunity and they will have one. Of course I like many stocks better than DELL for trading, but DELL is the one I'd chose in my "do not Open until 2002' or 2005 portfolio. Right now I've been heavily invested in WCOM (I'm thinking of profit taking) and was CSCO until I sold off most of CSCO in late January and sold INTC 4 times since 1998. I might just add DELL myself to this venerated group... By the way.. I'm also a very satisfied customer. We have 3 dells in our house now and this is my fifth DELL computer since 1990.
