  • Why We Are Traders And Not Investors 0 comments
    Jan 6, 2012 2:28 PM | about stocks: VHC
    One look at the chart of VHC below tells you why we are traders and not investors: 
     
       
     
    Each of the pink Pullback Off Highs lines were buying opportunities: 
     
    Trade 1: Bought 300 shares at $21.64, sold at $24.23 -- total profit of $777 or 12%
    Trade 2: Bought 300 shares at $21.70, sold at $25.69 -- total profit of $1,197 or 18.4%
    Trade 3: Bought 300 shares at $24.50, holding at $26.50 -- total profit so far of $600
     
    Total gains: $2,574!
     
    If we were investors though -- we would have bought 300 shares at $21.64 and at $26.50, would have a gain of just $1,458.  We'll continue to be traders and enjoy the extra $1,100!
