Agreed...Raven can do no right...even when he's right!...lol
It's perfectly acceptable to be "in" SKP for the long term yet be out of the stock for the moment. Whats wrong with that, why keep cash in a dip when you could sell and buy cheaper later on?
The real trick to trading...or indeed investing is rotate your holdings to maximise captial benefits. An investor might do this once or twice a year and move from sector to sector. A day trading scalper might do this every 5 minutes.
Needless to say it helps to focus attentions on a few rather than many tradeable instruments. SKP has presented a number of trading opportnunities this year and good profits were there to be had.
It all depends on your individual timeframes and trading styles...Selling a stock is NOT a sin and loyalty is something you see in the movies. You are all here to make money I presume?
For heavens sake get your own timeframes sorted out.....never hang on somebody elses every word, all that shows is that you're not thinking. Take guidance BUT think for yourself.
When somebody gives you the latest hot tip....take it away and research it. In my experience there is NEVER such a thing as an unmissable opportunity, certainly not one that demands you "get in" immediately. If you disagree with that spend half an hour today scanning the market.......Now tell me you cant find at least 5 stocks showing significant rises or falls?
See......opportunities every minute of everyday, not all are suitable, but you only need one or two!....lol
Raven...Enjoy your holiday, personally I shall be looking for opportunities in the thin holiday volumes the next few days, cant keep away...lol.
Seasonal greetings to all and enjoy your respective breaks
