Stuff learned from the months
EARNINGS: Never a good idea to hold through earnings...that one bad stock can toast a lot of profits (A LOT)
LAW SUITS: Stay away from these! (remember GS)
ADDING TO POSITIONS: Don't just dump a stock. Do some cost averaging, maybe it will help.
FUTURES TRADING: In March it cost all my profits and then some, so I stopped futures trading. The plan was working. That is until April when the 200 point down day and bad earnings (NTY -8.62) again cost me all my profits (save 21 dollars). Then I started trading futures again to get back to the green. So, really, no point here.........?
