I keep striking these targets within a very few points the vast majority of the time, and somehow, I blow the opportunity be either acting before, or not acting fast enough once the targets are hit. The premature ejaculations are the more damaging though. I better hire an assistant:>)
Could we just continue selling off and end this bear market now? Naz 950 isn't far off.
I need to change my strategy since I can't be available to trade all the time and I am finding it impossible to overcome the trading costs. Busted butt all year and slightly better than even. Anyway on Friday I started a program of buying high quality, diversified mutual funds into wherever the bottom is. Hopefully I won't run out of cash before we get there.
My hat is off to you folks that can play this game and win. Considering the severity of the YTD selling I am quite happy to not have lost money.
