This is the beauty on stock market trading, we could make a good profit in short term after shakes. People emotions on trading is really fascinating and complicated, most of us tend to dispose our shares in time of market shakes while majority of those with dipper pockets keeps buying. Some, including myself made a cut-loss sale so that we could buy back at the bottom to take advantage of the momentum later. Easy said than done actually, the pressure and anxiety is huge on this business. If you think that you didn't like much this intense, choose long-term investment instead which is more less stress & headache at all.



I also made a good play at Boulevard Holdings, Inc. (BHI) this week. Thanks for the rough ride and I made some quick trade before the crash. I assumed that the short momentum is only pushed by insider hypes and rumors played by DJ's, let's be cautions on like this game by bigger boys from the arena. I'm only lucky to have a good exit then.

God bless and good luck fellow trader.
