  • Excited April 08, 2010

    I might have blogged about this before, but oh well.

    Now that's exciting.

    An old investing adage is "cut your losses short and let your winners run."

    This morning, I saw that I had 9%+ profits in one of my options. I got excited and wanted to sell. Then I thought, "How do I make money if I keep selling winners too soon and holding losers too long?" So I held the stock.

    The results: I now have 0.95% gain.

    Honestly, I do need to cut losses short on a consistent basis.

  • turtle April 03, 2010

    I have been looking at the turtle trading system.

    You can download the information here

    Here are two charts that showed up in the preliminary attempt for the turtle screen.

    If my judgement of the market was not clouded by bears, then I would have bought the stocks before the turtles.

    It's easy to draw charts and show where to buy after the fact, isn't it?

    But take a look at X chart with 200sma and you will also see that it bounced there 2X.

    Nice turtles.
