Playing & Trading Strategy

How many of you have made some investments and slept on them, thinking they were clever, and woken up in the red? Ryan_Stewart Mar 16, 09:06

Every damn day and the ouch factor still hurts {nm} swordfish1 Mar 16, 09:30

This morning, with 24. Went with the news yesterday and during the night it completely reversed. {nm} DTravel Mar 16, 09:49

I got burnt by several last night, too. {nm} Dales Mar 16, 14:54

I've done it enough times to know not to hold overnight anymore, unless the news was real late in breaking. {nm} dave3626 Mar 16, 10:19

Except there were a bunch of things that had early news yesterday and still went up again at reset today. Rhyme/reason are out to lunch. {nm} Paul2k Mar 16, 10:22

The rule I try to remember is "Bulls make money, Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered". Keeps me from getting too greedy with news movers. {nm} dave3626 Mar 16, 10:23

It's gonna be a dog fight for me to get $1 over by midnight. 24 has slapped me silly today. And some other stuff. {nm} Ryan_Stewart Mar 16, 12:36

If it makes you feel any better..... dave3626 Mar 16, 13:43

I slept on 24 while it rose, reversed my holdings and lost while it went down. Today I'm a half step behind and feel like an idiot daytrader {nm} Ryan_Stewart Mar 16, 16:07

well, to join in January and have a port your size, you're obviously no idiot. {nm} dave3626 Mar 16, 17:05

To often i get to attached to something so when it crashes i don't move out fast enough {nm} blaze223 Mar 16, 12:44

you are a clinger! {nm} RazorHawk Mar 16, 13:06

Thanks thats why i am glad its only fake money {nm} blaze223 Mar 16, 13:40

Fake!?!..Oh crap.... {nm} dave3626 Mar 16, 13:44

Is that a revelation that sparks a rush to the exit {nm} blaze223 Mar 16, 13:47

Might be. Oh who am I kidding? I'm addicted. And I like it. {nm} dave3626 Mar 16, 13:51

Yeah...I'm still clinging to stuff I shorted, hoping it will start to fall...watching them slowly bleed me as they keep rising. Clinging! {nm} Ryan_Stewart Mar 16, 16:10

Same. Sometimes it's ego and sometimes it's sentiment if it's an actor I really like or a theme I really like. {nm} mrbeankc Mar 22, 17:59

I recently cleaned my port of 4 or 5 of those. all long term projects. none likely to see a dime for a while. {nm} perply1 Mar 16, 18:06
