Here is a "book" example of what I mean, Arista Networks, a perfect CANSLIM stock...

    In 40 years I will certainly be dead so I hope I can exit before that, lol. You are right, there is nothing here but don't worry, I have it all, it's just not exposed here. What I can say, 1st, it's not buy & hold strategy, 2nd, I should exit if they go 10% against my entry price, 3rd, I will...

    Breakout Trading on Emerging and Strong Stocks

    I do exactly the same, the only difference is that my initial risk is 8% instead of 7% then I will exit earlier, certainly on a close below the EMA 50, just to compound the gains if any. I don't use leverage either.

    Breakout Trading on Emerging and Strong Stocks

    Ah understood, Darvas said even less but at the time he didn't had the tools we have today. My problem with having less stocks is that in case of failure the loss is bigger as the position size is higher. I don't want to buy and hold for years just get the momentum and compound when I can. I...
