Playing & Trading Strategy

Put it this way...

Posted by: Catzan on Aug 20, 17:59 in response to Carlion's post You make a lot of sense

I look at profit in a few different ways.  When I was your size, I wanted percentage profit. Anything that makes me the most PERCENTAGE is GREAT! 

Also, I had a rule for my YTD. I went full bore...50,000 shares...on anything that was priced 44.00 or lower. Then I took a % of stuff that was higher if I was strapped for funds. So I would buy 25000 shares of stocks priced $80-100.  10,000-15,000 shares if they were above that. Even less of the $200 shares.  Cause think about it...25,000 shares of an $80 stock gives you the same return as 50k of the $40.  And, one thing I noticed...$40 shares seem to move faster than the bigger boys. Again, think about it, more people can afford to invest in smaller priced stocks.

Look, when I was locked in on my YTD race aiming at beating the pulp outa all comers, I logged in at all the key times...posted tons of news...and played probably 2 to 3 hours easy a day and then maybe more on some days. Each night I would hit reset and play for about an hour and a half+.  The other hour and a half was click...check in...click...check in.  Today, I have logged in about 15 minutes. I haven't even checked to see how much I am up yet. I am busier at work and don't always have the luxury of clicking in.

If the mood strikes me, I'll go jockeying thru the sites looking for news and posting away. But now many others have learned the benefit of news posting and thank goodness I am not in a YTD race and am nearing my 3 year anniversary otherwise I would get locked in again..and spend another 2-3 hours a day.

Take a look at MYSTIHSX or whatever grammar's season to date port is doing.  That is probably close to the max a small port can do and she is putting up nice numbers....

Ok...I should click over to see what my port is doing this week.
