<OT> Yeah that's me...thanks for the kind word. I've done pretty well but I'm afraid posting in the room can sometimes be misleading. For example, I posted position buys at 89 86 and 83 with the full intention of holding some a couple of weeks and some even longer. I'm sure many people didn't see those early posts but those buys greatly effected my strategy with the many trades I posted shortly thereafter. The days that it was in the 70's I was trading relatively small shares and didn't mind using wide stops because I was fully prepared to hold more at that level. I was fully prepared for one more "leg" in. Having faith in the company long term and enough capital to leg into it allowed me to trade it somewhat recklessly and often (at least by mtrader standards).But that room doesn't really allow for that type of explanation. So I've questioned whether I should have posted so much. But I traded it poorly yesterday and will probably stop indefinitely. Either way, those couple of days were rare for me. (However, the profits did lower my average cost basis a little <g>) I usually only make maybe 1-3 trades a day. So either way, I probably won't be posting that often again. Thanks again...and happy trading stockster.
