If you’re thinking about going long term think again.  The economy is still very unstable and I predict it will take 1-2 years before things get back on track.

Right now short term profits is the way to go.  If you make a profit don’t be shy to take it.  The market doesn’t go straight up so any run that last 3-5 days could retrace.

I would also advise against holding stocks into earnings.  Holding a stock through earnings is a huge risk and not worth it.
