i have been trading for about one year...lots of "potential" profits
on my portfolio. You forgot one thing...be aware of stock
manipulation..hedge funds and crooked analysts. For a good example
check out LDK, a chineese solar company. the message boards will fill
you in. Even good news can be followed by a downfall. All the homewrk
in the world wont protect you from manipulation. always be aware of
this fact. The SEC does not do its job. The market is like playing in
a card game where everone cheats but you. I am still in LDK, and I
believe it will have a big run, it is just a shame that there are
those who pervert the system.
