A little end of day house cleaning;

I’m always saying that the deciding to hold a stock is the same as deciding to buy it. Reviewing my charts asking the question; if I didn’t already own this stock would I buy it today?; I’ve decided to cull a few from my portfolio.

Culled;
SODA @ break even $38.28
LF @ $11.06: Gain of 3.75% or 0.15% of capital
DLR @ 75.64: Gain of 1.8% or0.34% of capital.

Had held these stocks for 4 weeks and they were going the wrong way.

Any Swing traders out there with a guideline on how long to hold a stock that's moving between the target and the stop?

FSLR
Sold at Target: $24.00

I have an order in to buy BMY if it breaks the High made this morning at 31.82
It has made a double bottom and may bounce.
