2005 June - I am panicking re SYMC. Exit decisions impared by following 4 bets at the same time.

SYMC is not getting out of jail as quickly as I hoped. I am feeling less confident about saving my bacon on this one. A week has gone by and it is still hovering 75 cents above my cover call. There has got to be a less riskier way to to lose 8000 dollars. I don't like the fact that I am in four shares and losing in all of them. I normally only concentrate on one. But somehow my strategy has taken into diversification. They say this limits risk but I do not know everyday how much I am actually down without logging in to my account. That means I have to put in a cover stop on four shares. Even if I cover SYMC automatically I will still have three shares still open to the downside. They will represent seventy per cent of my portfolio and still a major risk to more large losses.

2005 June - What Tech stocks look good? SYMC INSP IACI. Prioritising use 50d 200d attributes rather than outer group circumstances

Which top stock is heading for their 4th dip in 4 months? I feel these are ready for reverse throws up, SYMC, INSP and IACI. They are touching their 50 day or 200 day moving averages. I will invest 150% of my portfolio for four weeks, the second week in May and then short the same stock 100% or a weak stock that is hitting its 50d or 200d moving average.

That commission is built into the price of the stock.  DO NOT BE FEARFUL OR NEGATIVE TOO OFTEN. For 100 years optimists have carried the day in U.S. stocks.  Even in the dark ’70s, many professional money managers and many individual investors too  made money in stocks,  especially those of smaller companies  OUTPERFORMING THE MARKET IS A DIFFICULT TASK BEGIN WITH A MEDITATION - LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. Forgive yourself for your errors. DON’T PANIC. Don’t rush to sell the next day.  The time to sell is before the crash, not after.  Instead, study your portfolio.  If you didn’t own these stocks now,  would you buy them after the market crash?
