More Short Term Trading!?

My short term trading saga continues… Today, I sold Apple @ $69.35 (Ticker: AAPL) and netted a return of 8.60% over a 7 day period. I used the cash from the Apple sale and picked up some more Genentech (Ticker: DNA) @ $80.83, which reports tomorrow after the bell. The question is how big Genentech will beat the Street estimates? The Street is looking for revenues of $1.97 billion and eps of $0.41 / share. I think they'll easily beat the Street in both revenues and eps. There's also pretty strong technical support for Genentech around the $80 area.

That's pretty good. Do you often trade over the short term like that?

No, I'm usually a buy and hold investor, but I do allocate a small percentage of my portfolio for short term trades. I've simply been very lucky with the recent trades.

Forex is world's largest marketplace, and there are several pros of forex trading such as limited capital requirements, remote accessibility and low operational costs. But on the other hand, it requires a sound strategy and strong risk management due to the volatile nature of forex trading, since price volatility can be swift and dramatic, it poses the risk of significant and rapid loss.
