Playing & Trading Strategy

There are lots of people who owned the stock long before you did.

When it moves on the news, they take advantage of that movement, and then sell. Personally, I rarely pay attention to the daily movement of a stock. I only really pay attention to that around opening weekend. You might want to separate out long-term holds and short-term holds. You know that you're going to be holding derivatives and and bonds short-term. Pay attention to the daily movements of those, but try to focus on holding stocks long-term. Trading a lot really can cost you in terms of commissions.
