Done for the day +706.00

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Today I shifted some of my positions around. I am starting to cleanup my watch list by keeping only highly rated stocks by respected (or reasonable) research sources such as Reuters, S&P and Stock Scouter. I am still a technical trader but don’t think it hurts trading only stocks fundamentally sound.

Moving the Markets Today
