Playing & Trading Strategy

I always tried to max out on good stocks...especially on movies opening soon...

There was nothing more frustrating to me than to buy 10,000 shares of an opening movie (when we could only buy 50K shares!) and then find out that it adjusted way up - knowing I could have made a lot more money on it. For me, I always max on opening movies - either long or short - but true, my port can afford it.

With a smaller port, one of the fastest ways to BUILD it, is to play openers.  Why play them if you don't max on them?  It's silly when you could make $1M if it goes up (or down) by 10 points, and you only bought 10,000 shares, making only $100,000.

With a port your size, you can afford to play openers, and still afford to buy some stocks that are further out, but try to max when you play...you max your profits! I always kicked myself knowing I could have made a lot more $$ if I had bought more shares... but remember too - you can also lose if you pick wrong...but low risk = low gain.  So be willing to take the hit if you pick wrong, too!
