You've been having an awesome year so far. Would you consider making a thread that would show us some of your trades in 2005? It could be like a fflaque-style investing tutorial. Of course, beggars can't be choosers, but some stuff I would like to see (and I think would be beneficial for the forum at large) are:
1. at least 3 examples of successful trades and at least 1 example of an unsuccessful one
2. your thought process or analytical work done before going into the trade, including how you found the stock in the first place (message board, stock screener, etc.)
3. how you bought it (i.e., do you decide how many shares you'd like to own and then just start buying until you get there (i imagine with otc stuff, that sometimes (even with a bankroll of around $100k) it can be hard to get into or out of certain positions)? or do you just start buying and then play it by ear? or...?)
4. how you decide how much of your bankroll to put in any one idea
5. how/when you decide to sell (i.e., sell in pieces, or all at once? do you use "price targets" (or "% return targets") and then sell when you hit them, no matter what, or do you have an initial price target that you change during the course of the holding? do you use stop losses?)
6. do you just do stocks, or do you also do other more exotic stuff? options, REITs, currencies, commodities, futures, etc.?
7. about how many trades do you make in a day?
8. any side points you may want to make (like, "sometimes it feels weird when i see that my trades constituted 100% of the volume for a particular stock on a certain day," etc.)
