That's true but I think all the easy money had been made in shipping stocks. Buying pullbacks would be the right thing to do but gold stocks are just starting to move up-- the trend is just starting.

Quote from BlueHorseshoe:
How many points did you miss by trading out and then back in??
I don't mean to be obnoxious but this highlights an important trading principle, particularly for milking a multi-day trend. You threw those points away, & in the end they do add up. (I'm speaking from experience!)![]()

Quote from marketsurfer:
you are right. however, fortunately, i did not miss very many DJIA points by trading in and out. thanks for the advice.

Quote from BlueHorseshoe:
I'll guess of the total points from your original entry, you probably sacrificed ~4%. As you said, not a lot in and of itself. Yet, If you are going to be riding this wave over several weeks and do that 1-2x per week you could conceivably give up 20-40% of the total trade.
That is the way it works - Outch! Been there, done that.
