Tmleafs you gave a good example of diversifying as a cure for frustration.
I hold over a dozen stocks. Most of them I trade a small portion and temporarily invest in other opportunities to later go back to the original ones with profits or if original has good prospects in short term.
I never sell more than half of any stock but often 5-20%. That is my security blanket against some sudden event of a stock going ballistic when I least expect.
I expect great news from the 2000m drill results at Eagle's sometime in late May. This is an example of what I call an opportunity.
If someone has a good chance of earning some gains with something else in the meantime then I have nothing against that. I would join him.
But where ever I may wander off I need to return to NOT by mid May at a decent price so that I will be loaded up for the Eagle results.
That kind of strategy I recommend to anyone and like to hear of anything different.
Always looking for alternatives.
