Good idea billy. I know we all like to pick from the floor sometimes like good pricehounds. Also that Amateur-Investors writer is big on baseline breakouts. His baseline though can be ave 6 months w/ thin Vols at end of that at breakout time AND w/ rising Vol. Here's little piece on rounding tops. Very tricky pattern to spot when in such a trade. Start thinking beast can go either way. "It's ready for another leg up" "If it drops 5% more, I'm out"...but then never do ending up as bagholder or buying more later at lower prices hoping to recoup. When to sell is tough. Some go by % of run, some use fading MoMo or spurts w/o Vol then a final high Vol spike as exhaustion sets in. Let's hope Vols pick up more.
Pennies not a zero sum game as much as some zero game.
