Probably not gutsy, just that I have a hard time taking a loss. Witness ORCL, still holding and waiting for it to come back. Where is everyone? Probably reading your Watchlist. I had just been looking at your 4/8 WL #2. I thought it was a tad high but now that I see it on your list for tomorrow I just might get in.
I think your idea for an excel document will really help. I'm still not sure when to buy and how soon to get out, whether with just a few points or wait for a larger gain. I also can't figure out when to get in. If I don't buy as soon as I see it on your EP or WL (of course, after doing a little analysis of my own), I usually get in at too high a price.
I also have held on to EP 4/6 #1. this also had a good report, I believe, but is going nowhere. Wellllll, maybe if I keep holding on.
Thanks for all your help!
Linda L.

ACTC still trying to show some signs of recovery.
This stock should not be in the $2 range.

COGN - on the road all day, didn't even know it dropped midday,
hoping to see it respond well to the news tomorrow. Even with
the drop, I am no longer nervous about it anymore since I am
playing more than one at a time, less risk in each position.

Aklm - can it get worse? lost 2 about points on it so far but
I'll see tomorrow.

I'm no longer looking for the lower prices, even with a small
amount of cash to use, I'll just have to trade very few shares.
Have had very little gain with the lower priced stocks - I won't
make it a factor any longer.

COGN: Tattooed on my wrist "Do not hold through earnings if inexperienced," advice picked up from a wise woman who oversees a thread around here. So I lost nerve and sold. Got me a hefty 3/16 profit too. Now let's see what a good earnings report brings. Good luck to those who held.
