You are right. I, too, have a lot to learn about charting. It's a great tool, but you have to stay disciplined with a pre-determined strategy.
My strategy here is to just close my eyes, deep on buying more, and wake up sometime in the next few years and be rich! Just kidding, of course. The big stocks can kill you just as well as the pennies. How many times have we seen investors ride them up to the moon, and never take any profits along the way. They may take a lot longer to fall, but fall they do. On the other hand, most returns on established companies, will never compare to what one can nuture here with developing companies.
My next visit in a few weeks. I will probably be going with PatD100 again. It's always nice to spend a little time with a fellow investor. Helps to have two minds working at once with questions.
And YES! You can never go wrong with a profit, short or long term.
