Well, as you can see from my Stockalicious widget, I had another killer day. The account closed today at a year-to-date high, putting me up ~9%. While that peformance is really nothing spectacular (it is beating the Nasdaq and S&P, but not the Dow), I feel like throwing sand in the eyes of the stock gods, and celebrating this recent spell of success. I will start by posting a stockalicious chart which shows my performance since I started logging all my trades with stockalicious.
Next, I want to post two charts which show my recent success at buying the bottom of a dip. Buying counter-trend has been very difficult for me in the past. I typically used to only buy strength. Lately I have had success buying short-term bottoms. If I continue to be successful with this type of entry, I will certainly need to pair it with a good system for exiting.
Finally, I want to post a chart which I really like.
Downtowntrader posted this chart last week. I post it because its pretty, because I have a position in it (hey, I don't make jack from my ads, at least let me pump my own positions) and because I want someone to speculate on why the chart shows such strength when a follow-on offering of 5 million shares was just priced. Any ideas? My experience is typically that any dilution is met with selling. Not so in this case.

While I hate to be the party pooper, why with dilution is the stock rising...worldwide bullmarket?
Buying dips works until....it doesn't.
In a strongly trending market, it works well.
The question of course is; how to decide that the trend is no longer your friend and that the trend wants to bend.
Congrats. on your equity high!

Congrats on the YTD high shed.
