    I stated that I would hold these 3 longer term that previous plays. I'm waiting for the market to break on AOL & TYC. NVDA is a long-term play and IMO will be a $20 stock in 6 months. Granted, I would have dumped it if I was up $2 but I have the luxury of moving that position to my long term holds instead of swing trading. I've always liked that company and now that it's at it's lows I think it will rebound nicely when that day comes. Regarding my open P&L vs. usual monthly returns, I have had a tremendous month of July (especially the last 2-3 weeks) as I have decided to increase my share size for the longer term plays. As I mentioned some posts ago that I am now trading almost 50 roundtrips a day with a few swing trades since the market conditions are optimal for that type of strategy right now. I don't look at my monthly returns vs. current open P&L. I have more than enough equity in my account to whether this type of set back. I try to keep my equity in a particular range and withdraw additional monies that I allocate to my other businesses so I never risk loosing all of my assets.

  5. Good example of taking 20% + profit on that TYC personality in a daytrade. Tends to help to buy as close to support as you did with TYC.

  7. This morning is a major reversal day - gap up with minor pullback and then power up is a typical pattern. Short should be caution. Shot will be squeezed until after lunch hour at the earliest. IMO.

    Still short 5000 QLGC @ 36.22

    If QLGC breaks an agressive support at 32.70, there's much more downside.

    Intraday support range is 32.65 - 32.70 area for nice scalping but use tight stops if support is broken.

  10. Seanote, did you hold that short even when it went over $39? You've got balls of steel!
