Fishsurfer: Most traders I know have felt at times as you feel. I have. If you choose to continue I suggest you absolutely turn off CNBC, listen to nobody, avoid Zeev's thread for a while.

Find a chart you like. Perhaps GFRE, perhaps LINC. Doesn't matter, as long as it makes sense to you...and it can be a short too.

Trade it. Short term, long term, whatever fits your style.

Like a ballplayer in a slump who can't buy a hit, you need a few hits; a few singles up the middle, a can-a-corn that drops in. Gotta get a few successes to get the confidence back. That's a huge part of trading.

Whatever you decide I wish you well.

Fishsurfer, That you are not afraid to take a critical look at your limitations would make Clint Eastwood proud. Seriously. I am probably about where you are except I am too old to care.

Fishsurfer- Thank You. We'd encourage you not to give up. There are times like this past week when it feels like we're in fourth grade. Not the market, that was no problem, it was individual stocks behaving badly and trying to figure out what to do...if anything.
Tried hard to make the right decisions, weighted the pro's and con's as best we possibly could and ended up not making the right decisions and lost money. Sucks.
A real bugger of a game some times.
For you, maybe step back a bit and think about what would suit you best.
Maybe it is a few sector ETFs you think will do well for a few months or a few years and hold them.
Maybe it's who knows what [expand the range of possibilities] but gain some perspective and try to figure out what would be best for you.
We know...even that is not easy.
Let us know if and how we may help in the future.
