Buy and sell It's quite simple. I take a part of my portfolio and trade with it. It's a stock. It's ok to buy and sell. Some days I make good decisions some days I lose. Today was to me an advertised opportunity to make a few bucks. I'll try to buy back in tomorrow with that small amount. If I don't get my price I'll wait just like everyone else. My base doesn't change. I don't touch until my commitment has been accomplished.
