So I sold this at 42 and am happy. Checked it today and its 44..... Based on my luck, it will be 285 in 12 months.

So does this mean you're tending back toward a buy and hold strategy!??

No I still thing the long position is for the individual investor is a gambling crap shoot st the mercy of the market players. This is how it has been now for over 15 years. The market does to represent real value.

I will however say that I am very long on investments with my corporation in 401k, and those investments have done very well. They are however investments with funds that the normal Joe cant get to. Basically the market makers themselves. My personal investment strat is to look for deals that I think are going to increase at least 20% in the short term (6 months to a year) jump in, get the profit and jump out before it goes down.

However number 2. If I find a good stock that has upward and or stable possibilities and a strong dividend, I will and do go long. BP might be one of those, once they solidify what the new dividend will be.
