Darkstone, thank you for your insights. I do not consider myself a day trader, although sometimes my novice trades are short term. Regardless, there are many useful posts on HC. I seem to make a weekly profit swingtrading (...gambling?). If there is a profit to be had every week, why would I hold and suffer the dips? I argue against the hold-at-all-costs crowd. Isn't that exposing you to huge market dips? Feel free to respond in any manner. Not advice DYOR
