I received the email below from an SMB Blog Reader:<\/p>\n

I’m sure you are really busy so I don’t necessarily expect a reply or anymore of your time..I do want to say Thanks again however.<\/p>\n

I have pinpointed my\u00a0issue..and it seems crazy. I don’t seem to have the balls to saty in winners long enough. Every thing I went long in this week, and covered yesterday is\u00a0up\u00a0substantially more today…and , the one trade I took this morning ( GGAL\u00a0 long 15.85) I did not put enough size on it..I seem to be chickenshit with profitable situations..and don’t know how to fix it.\u00a0The classic mistake..not letting my winners fully blossom.<\/p>\n

Don’t expect a reply or a fix..I will just keep working on it. I guess its a good problem to have but a problem none the less. LVS in play again today as well but not in it. Must\u00a0be trading scared money and playing like a wuss because of it.<\/p>\n

Thanks for letting me talk thru this…
\nA ?4 the Trading Community<\/strong><\/p>\n
