My strategy has been to invest for the long run with solid plays that can continue to grown over time. Experiencing this rollercoaster market having quick jerk reactions with dips to close all time highs i have recently contemplated short tradying. Profit taking is key to secure gains in this game of trading as stock sectors rotate in and out.
It's important to be well inform of positive and negative catalyst news affecting the stock your tied too. This year I have learn that the sycology of buying the rumor and saling the news has had a positive outcome with a higher trend. Everyone's strategy should be to buy low and sale high, but more importantly have a goal to reach. Your goal can be to reach a particular stock sale price and sale, and once that stock dips to a low level risk then jump back and manage the new exit plan. Analyzing technicals, volume, and sentiment are important factors when accessing companies growth potential. The key is to write notes of yearly sector rotations, seasonal plays and those things that have work and those that haven't. This strategy helps to minimized taking repeated mistakes or making bad buys. I think every day learning, staying active in the know is key to staying intune with the new big thing and thus staying relevant in this ever changing market.
