When I said core position, this is what I mean. Say you bought 10,000 shares at .40 cents when AAA was that low. Then you bought another 20,000 shares as your traders. You never touch your core position of 10,000. But you trade your 20,000 share position, this way if you are out and the stock takes off, you still have a core position of 10,000 and if you sold your traders, you can still buy them back if you wanted too.

I know people who trade this way and if you are good a timing the market, you can end up paying for your core position with your traders profits, and some even make more than the cost of their core position, which lowered you risk to zero, if you decide not to trade your traders anymore and buy something else with them.

This will not work for everyone, but is a good idea, in my opinion.
