Lost opportunity cost, or: What's wrong with buy and hold?
Posted by AbjectAvarice.com on January 24th, 2011

I bought AAPL back in 2005, and made 4% in a week before I sold. Holding it would have netted me over 600% - so what's wrong with buy and hold? How do we know when to sell?

Using a trailing stop can whipsaw out of a good winning position, but not having a sell discipline leads to poor emotional decisions. What's your strategy?

Current Technical Analysis of the S&P 500
Posted by AbjectAvarice.com on December 12th, 2010

Some people are looking at the broad markets right now and seeing possible resistance to higher prices, based on the fact that we’re right back where we were in April/May of this year. I see news stories talking about how the S&P is at a two year high.

Buy low, sell high – right? Doesn’t this mean we’re at the “high”?

Posted by AbjectAvarice.com on December 10th, 2010

Back on Dec 6th, I initiated a position in SIRI – Sirius XM satellite radio. Good trading discipline is to always enter with a stop loss set, so I did.

The very next day, I was stopped out by volatile intraday action.
