Ad1,

I was wondering if you sold because I hadn't heard from you in a while. To be honest with you, I probably would of sold if I was in your shoes. I hope you made a good profit and sold at or near a dollar. Let me know, now I'm curious.

In the past, I've always sold too soon. Since I only own 50K shares I decided to wait for the next rally. I believe its on the rebound because it's still showing the hammer effect. I'm also watching and waiting for the big volumes to kick in. This should signal when the strong hands start selling. That will tell me its at or near the top.

My problem has always been getting too anxious and only making half the profit. I've done this enough times that I decided to wait this time even if I miss the boat.

Another thing I've done, I keep a few shares in a stock after selling it, just to keep a watch out during future rallies. Its been interesting because it gives me the same feeling that I want to sell. I don't, just to discipline myself and overcome that impulsiveness. This is part of those human behavioral issues I keep track of and talked about in my Journal Postings. I'm still learning to control these emotional dilemas when deciding to sell. IMO, we are all in the learning process on this one and not sure we ever really get it a 100% right?

Yes, I'd like to stay in touch. Its been fun playing The Lone Ranger and Tonto. No one else has decided to joint the site, so I figure its up to you and me to keep it going. Even after I sell, I will keep posting educational stuff from time to time. You know where to find me, so please say hello and keep me posted on what's going on.

Lets not say good-bye, but say Good Luck to ALL !!!

Hilander



Keep It Up!
