There are two things that are becoming very apparent:
  1. I need to create a Trading Plan.
  2. I need to paper trade and stop jumping into stocks that "look good" to me.
If you're past the info posted in posts 4 and 6 and want to move on to a trading plan now, the following may be of help:

The Trading Journal

The Trading Log

Re: Beginner

Thanks for the pointers. I did read one of O'Neil's books over a year ago, I should dust it off and read it again. Will look at the Journal and Log posts as well. I am just getting started looking through the Traders Lab site, I am very impressed! Thanks for the help!
