Let's devote this forum to sharing the strategies and tactics for investors with an "intermediate" time horizon of two months to two years. There is no greater teacher than experience, so if you choose to graciously share your successes and failures in the market, or to discuss a current position you hold, may I suggest that you focus on explaining your investment criteria, and what would make you reconsider your position. The distinction between investing and trading is subtle but significant. Here investing means a position that either you do not feel compelled to worry about over the next 6 - 60 months, or that if it takes a substantial hit (greater than 25% and ideally a 50% hit) then you will actually be excited about the opportunity to purchase more at those lower prices rather than worry about the hit to your portfolio. Another way to think about it is that if you were to take an extended vacation for a few months to somewhere without Internet, you'd be comfortable with your investment and it would not ruin your vacation to not be watching it. Subjects that are relevant to this thread include: (1) Why a stock or commodity is a great investment now (per above definition of investment) (2) How you scan for your investments and ideas (3) How you balance your portfolio and manage risk (4) Where you think the market is headed (over the next 6 - 60 months) and how you'd play it. (5) Overall market risk/danger signals (6) How the valuation of your pick compares within its history, sector, and the broader market. (7) Economic, sector, and company news - if and only if you put it in an investment context ([e.g. company XYZ is getting hammered due to poor EPS report, and is now selling at a historically low price-to-sales ratio) Topics that are not welcomed: (1) Daytrading technics (2) Pumping/cheerleading a stock without any thoughtful analysis behind the post.
