Short Term Trading Week Starting: 10th Apr, page-259

Tough ol' coupla weeks trading for me. For the first quarter of the year I stuck to my guns and realised some good gains (relative to my portfolio size anyway). But this month I seemed to have a few 'roos loose in the top paddock. I closed positions on a couple of stocks early despite knowing results were pending, started second-guessing every trade, holding onto stocks based purely on hype and not on fundamentals... Bit disappointing/frustrating, more so with respect to missed opportunities than losses at least.

Being relatively green, especially to technical indicators, I find myself trying to fast-track lessons. And with each lesson it's as if I'm adding another layer of due diligence to every trade, possibly overcomplicating things.

At any rate, running at the mouth. Big weekend of fishing and surfing ahead. Run some water through the gills, pin the ears back and have another swing next week after reviewing my 2017 rules.


Happy Easter. Get stuck into some choccy marrow! – Alby

On my radar for next week: CFO (don't hold), SE1 (hold).
