I'm holding 246,000 GSEO (the oppies). I hold about 16 different instruments at any one time over about ten stocks. If I am holding more than ten stocks I tend to get rid of the one I think will give me the lowest return.

Most of my trading portfolio is in blue chip derivatives.

I've bought the GSEO in four different tranches and have paid an average price of 6.02 cents each for them, picking up the last lot at the 5c mark. So I don't have a great deal in the stock. I might sell a third on an intraday peak if I think the stock has overshot the mark, and then buy back on retracement. I did sell some GSEO at some point for .071 and re-bought a greater amount at the .05 level.

Generally whilst ever I hold the view that the stock is trending up at a faster rate than my weakest hold, I never let go of more than half.

Some stocks retrace well and allow this, some (like WMT) don't.

Another rider for trading, you have to check the major index charts at night, and the Dow Jones index chart each morning, particularly for blue chip derivatives trading. No matter how good an individual stock chart is, it usually can't fight an overall market downturn. WMT and APG apparently the exceptions, LOL.
