I remember someone did a few months back. If you held and were patient you are reaping wonderful gains with more to come. Congratulations! Short term trading is a mental illness!

That was me.
I didn't hold onto SSL long enough. This was really my first time trying out your VV method. I made money trading both SSL and USEG. I recently sold USEG as it might be turning down. With SSL, I got out before the drop that occurred around late February. However, I ignored it and didn't get in around April 9th when the market turned back upwards. SSL has been on fire since then.
My original buy of SSL was on Jan 18th. You can see I posted about it here on my blog. If one wa to hold thats a 26% gain today. (Notice I bought ONT there too +179%)

All the coal plays have been on fire since the market turn around in April. I think they will continue to do well as I just read an article about the cost of shipping coal will come down by as much as 40% because of all the tankers that the Asian countries are building. Shipping the coal is one of the biggest costs to these companies.
