Disciplinez-vous imbécile

Discipline you Fool!
  1. Holding WDFC - should have sold on 12/27 or 28, above $37, after it cracked its 50 dma
  2. Holding SPY - should been out at 1363 on the volume of that decline and what was I doing buying at 138.50 when the support was 137?
  3. Selling QID - NAZ shook me out with that little jog above 2480 only to top out at 2504. It WAS discipline at work so it's tough to be critical of this one. I would like to have it back though!
Keeping things in perspective: The SPY and QID trades were highly speculative with 1/4 position spec stakes or 2.5% of the portfolio. The 7% hit taken on the SPYs equates to a .18% decline in portfolio value.
