Profit/Gain on Week 2 of April 2008

After a big loss on last week, I reduced my share sizes to gain back some momentum. This week, I am positive which I gained 2 last days. Next week will be a big week! There are many earnings released and there are a few economic numbers also. I will set a few rules and I think if I have disciplined to follow, I believe I should make a big gain.
