'Sense and sensibility'
I am so glad that my trading life is back to normal after two weeks of hyperactivity. I went thru a two week lucky phase then a two week folly phase when decisions were made hastily. Sometimes they were made when I was at work, sometimes when my wife was asking in the background when I would finish using the computer.
Now I am my normal self again. No more get rich quick ambition but rather get rich slow.
Also, it would be boring turning a hobby into a job. I'll let it stay that way - a hobby.

Sharescope's swing trading package
I am thinking of buying ShareScope's swing trading software package. Used it in the past and quite like it. I also like its discussion board as users are intelligent and helpfull.
But they only offer swing trading charting to intraday and real time packages while I am an EOD trader. Will give them a ring to find out more.

Tough 6 months on tap for stocks?
Judging by the history books, and the cycles of the presidency, the market could be in for a rough few months after hitting 5-year highs.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - Ah, spring time. That glorious time of year when flowers are a-bloomin', birds are a-chirpin' and stocks are a-slippin'.
And in the case of stocks, they may be a-slippin' for the next two quarters, according to a Standard & Poor's study released Monday.

I felt a little uneasy ahead of the budget and I don't think that the market is in a bearish mood so have played cautiously.
Bought to close BARC at 673.6 for 8 points profit. Trade opened 20th
Bought to close SMIN at 978.5 for 10 points profit. Trade opened 21st.

I quite like the budget. More money for education (I have two kids at school), more tax credit for working families... But the market is at least indifferent. I hope the FTSE will make a swing low in the next few days.
I desperately want to have a long position so that I can short with confidence at intervals.
