I have been able to keep high cash positions on accounts while keeping up with the market using this strategy. In a day there may be 6 to 15 new sweep opportunities per day. When a stock is really powerful, like Mattel ( MAT) has been, I sell a part at resistance and buy it back again at support until the stock loses its power. However, buying on a pullback has worked really well for me. I am not experienced enough to compete with the really fast traders. My experience with these trades is that I have been successful over the past few months on most of the trades. What Have I Learned From My Recent Experience? Swing traders are invested for one to four days and intermediate term traders can invest for a much longer period. The Najarians are often this kind of buyer. Swing Traders And Intermediate-Term Investors May BenefitĪfter the initial wave of traders buy and sell, most of these stocks have pullbacks and may be bought by a longer term investor seeking much larger gains. Thus they may reap a sizeable gain but if the stock declines, they exit without further loss. They may sell 75-80 percent of their original purchase while holding 20-30% with a trailing stop order. Traders often learn to trim and trail because sizeable gains are possible. You can afford a lot of paper cuts if you win 80% of the time. Successful traders keep losses very small they call them paper cuts. One big loss takes away a lot of these profits. Most of these trades work for the really good scalpers, but they need to control risk because profits may be 5 to 15 cents on average.

This means there are more people flying onto the glaciers than ever before. As there is no longer the option to walk directly up to a glacier for glacier hiking anywhere in New Zealand, the only way to hike on a glacier is by helicopter.

The helicopter flight up to the Tasman Glacier is around 10 minutes, you get a full view of Mt Cook Village, the Tasman Glacier Terminal Lake and Aoraki/Mount Cook, as well as the glacier itself from terminal moraine to the higher ice fields.

(Full disclosure: I also don’t eat beef.) The portion size for a small soup was substantial, as was the amount of noodles, vegetables and tofu that were all neatly displayed in the bowl. While most would argue that no pho experience is complete without trying the most popular and classic round steak pho, I feel that a restaurant that can find space on their menu for a rich and flavorful vegetable-based soup is far more rare and just as appetizing. We were barely a few bites into our sizzling pancake when our main course appeared: a rice plate of grilled jumbo prawns and onion beef served with crispy egg rolls and a side salad ($13.25), and a bowl of vegetarian pho ($10.75) loaded with fresh vegetables and tofu. The dipping sauce, which was far too fishy and not tangy enough for my palate, was also a letdown. While the portion size was huge and the pancake did come out piping hot, the bland flavor and somewhat chewy texture of the pancake was disappointing. Made with rice flour, coconut milk and a touch of turmeric powder, these thinly fried pancakes are stuffed with bean sprouts and shrimp and served next to fresh herbs, crunchy lettuce leaves, a heaping helping of julienned carrots and slices of radish. Nonetheless, they were tasty and fresh.Īlongside the spring rolls, we also ordered sizzling crepes, or bánh xèo ($11)-a must-eat appetizer at any Vietnamese restaurant. While the pork and shrimp rolls were stuffed full with meat, the vegetarian rolls felt a little sparse as they didn’t come with tofu or another type of veggie-friendly protein. Served alongside a flavorful and rich peanut sauce, both were made to order and stuffed with the usual suspects: lettuce, veggies, mint leaves and vermicelli noodles. We started simple, with an order of vegetarian and pork and shrimp spring rolls ($6 each). We were seated promptly and given menus with the usual extensive array of appetizers, rice plates, vermicelli bowls and, of course, noodle soups. I was greeted by an impressive and welcoming arrangement of orchids and floral bouquets alongside the eatery’s front desk. I headed to Pho 24-opened in December 2018-to find a neatly decorated space. I recently spent a cold and drizzly Saturday schlepping around Oakridge, and I was drawn to the soul-soothing promise of a hot, tangy bowl of pho.
