Thanks a lot. Appreciate your help and time.
Another problem is investing in what I know and avoid the big question marks. Though with tight stops they are larks that hopefully I can make and easy 10%-15% and cash out as soon as they change direction. I was making good money on most of the now dogs (even FCO) - AQI was bot and went south from there.
Stocks like RRI; CPST; BKB; VZ; WMT, I know a little something about and holding them for the longterm or at least, with stocks like CPST, unloading "some" - say 1/4 or 1/3 on the way up.
I should be doing more DD on the metals to differentiate the CKGs from the AGIs from the AQIs from the NPGs. The ATR is new to me so I must review that.
It is my fault totally - but sometimes I look at the Yahoo portfolio (which is rarely up to date anyways with my buys and sells), and just see a sea of numbers. "What is the bottomline?" is the problem. I wished they were able to auto-sort based on "today" and "overall" performance. Yes I show my port with % change -- that is what I have to concentrate on - with "each" line as I scroll down.
I am writing something now though that would help considerably in this regard as well as tax wise for quicker reporting.
Merci..
