thanks for the article..

I also want to say thanks to some who have msgd me with strategies for trading... my posts today were not a cry of desperation... but rather in lighthearted disgust with myself for getting away from what has been a winning strategy for me over the last 6 weeks as I've watched my portfolio value climb 2000%. However, over the last 2 days I've been chasing some of kimberly's picks even though she says NOT to buy if the stock has already moved up 5 to 10%... but silly me bought anyway.. plus I bought into plays in which I could have waited a little longer to be sure that level 2 MM support was going to hold.

I did NOT get greedy.. I lost 40% of my portfolio in the last 2 days because of the above statements.. not because of greed.. anytime I saw a 10% or better profit I took it... problem was that I kept getting in at the exact day highs...

so now I'm only up 1200% or so from April 12th.. i can live with that... but it's back to the basics for me.

I held 2 stocks for tomorrow and may consider riding them into next week... ARET and AREE... both had corrections today.. the question is whether they can bring in the buyers now.

and i am considering DIET depending on how it moves.. those who got it at .07 seem to have done very well.

best wishes to all.. we can learn both right and wrong from each other... take care :)
