VRIO---trading at 56---then turned around to 60--I saw this happen last year, the top quality nets will rebound first. The problem is, nobody knows the bottom,I bought a few shares of VRIO---I think we'll see a leveling off on the selling of the nets, and a slow, steady gain on the ones that have the best underlying fundamentals.

ONSL.. LONG at 34 11/16.. Traders, you must diversify with earnings plays back in ETEK at 47. look at EFII still up 3 5/8 over the gap. 2 important learning tips 1) The market is rewarding the good earners. The worst thing to do is think that earnings and fundamentals have no place in trading.. Those that think that are just giving themselves 50% profit potential out of 100% and steering you wrong and are inferior traders. You have to be a chameleon and open to all plays and the techno-fundamental approach to position and swing trading has the most profit potential and is the most rewarding. 2) Take your profits according to percent gain and not time held. 25% profit and above should never be left on the table without at least 75-80% drawing of profits. If you consider yourself a trader, and a trader is even anyone who holds up to 2-3 months. 3) Never buy when the crowd is telling you to buy on dips without checking out the chart patterns for yourself. DIPS at 10% can easily turn into dips of 20% and then you are left in the middle of a bowl of dip with traders dipping their fritos into your stock (i.e. grabbing profits or breaking losses) until the bowl of dip is more now 20% empty instead of 10%. Rather risk a 2-3 point loss than enter a stock in the midst of a downfall.
