I think I stressed too much on swing trading and not enough on the theory. Overall, I think the theory makes sense. And I will probably try it again. As you noted, I'm not executing my strategy and it was from the beginning. Greed? I did mention to look out for bellwether companies and I knew that Oracle was reporting. Although it didn't scare me off completely, it did prevent me from being more aggressive. Am I making a bigger mistake by not cutting my losses right now? Time will tell. I still think I can make it back on fluctuations at the end of January. Good point :) Sure, I would have liked to have unloaded my shares – if things had gone my way.

Overall, I think the theory makes sense. And I will probably try it again. As you noted, I’m not executing my strategy and it was from the beginning. Greed? I did mention to look out for bellwether companies and I knew that Oracle was reporting. Although it didn’t scare me off completely, it did prevent me from being more aggressive.

Question - will you be repeating this strategy multiple times before deciding if it's successful or not?
