I always get nervous after a good day. Do I hold on to the stocks that performed well or sell them to keep my gains? Nothing has changed fundamentally, in fact things have gotten better. But I get too worked up about leaving gains on the table. I'm not a day-trader. I am not smart enough to figure out day to day swings. I like to call myself a week-trader (some would say a WEAK-trader). I like to hold my stocks at least a week. That's not because I've got some magic system that only works week to week. It's because I really am my own worst enemy and if I allow too much thinking I mess things up. That's what I'm doing tonight. Too much thinking. OK, I've talked myself into letting things ride.
