Just my luck

I put washing outside to dry. It rained. I took it back in and the rain stopped. I put it back out and it rained again. I buy a stock. The price falls. I sell a stock and the price rises. Is it just my luck or does this happen to everyone else? Don’t get me wrong. I do sometimes get good results, but I do feel I am having a bit of bad luck at the moment. Take Toledo Mining (TIDM code: TMC) as an example. I held this for quite a while and, about 5 or 6 times, I watched the price go up to around 40p and down to just under 30p. Now, I had purchased at 30.88p so I was continuously watching a paper profit, then a paper loss. As I was watching this happen and not taking advantage of it, I thought I should change my game-plan. Sell on the high, buy on the dip. I didn’t bank on my luck, or the lack of it coming into force again. I should have known. I sold at 39p and it broke through its resistance point…right up to 47p. You’ve got to laugh. If anyone has similar luck, then please let me know. I’d hate to think it is just my luck.
