Well said Al, as usual. I see the pre-market is up presently..not to say that won't change...the basics of this stock say, if you "must" play then do what Al does and play with a portion "but" keep the core position intact, or as Al does and no doubt many others on this board, add to the core with any profits from trading on the swings in SP. I am working towards that as well. It's good to take profit and get back in (my problem is I usually do it the wrong way around or don't make enough for the trades to be worth it, so I don't do it much). Long is the best way for me and that's just me.
Al and others here including MJ no doubt play the stock their advantage.. This is smart as long as your "very" good at it. It can be dumb if your not. My advice don't play in and out on swings if your overly nervous as it generally doesn't work well (maybe 1 profit swing to 3 loss swings per say). I would say to keep the majority of shares as core (hold long) and use a "small" reserve of shares to learn to swing trade correctly, using a very low cost broker. Once I get myself set up with a 8.00 or 9.00 per trade broker I'l no doubt be trading on the swing a bit more...to be honest the broker makes more than I do right now :(
Good luck today Al whichever way you play. Good luck to all other NOT holders. News is near no matter what happens to the market today. The news will be good....we will be going up soon.
