There is no single magic formula to winning in the stock market. Many folks have developed an investing plan that works best for their style, goals and investment strategy. For us, the strategy all revolves around STibbling, selecting trades from a thoroughly vetted baskets of stocks that we micro-track and know very well. Rather than looking to win in one big bite, we nibble away and additively lock in our gains.

Investing is a long game for STibblers, more so like a marathon than a simple short brief road race. There needs to be focus, determination and stamina to achieve long-term goals. One thing is certain, the market fluctuates, gyrates and moves in patterns that provide ample opportunities for gains. They key is to be prepared to play the long game, meaning taking many small micro-profits to achieve larger long-term gains.

We make a habit of taking lots of small gains off the table, 8 out of 10 of our trades are exited in the green! It is not uncommon for a STibbler to move out of a stock with a small twenty-five cent move – as long as it is green, this technique becomes quite additive in the right "green" direction. We’ve learned to not get emotional (fall in love) with any particular stock. Rather, trading in and out with the news, patterns, events and historical movement of a stock to execute our winning strategy.
