Swing trading attempts to capture gains in a stock within one to four days, sometimes a few weeks. Swing traders use technical analysis to look for stocks with short-term price momentum. These traders aren't that interested in the fundamental or intrinsic value of stocks, but rather in their price trends and chart patterns. The benefits: more efficient use of capital and higher returns (in smaller chunks). The drawbacks: higher commissions and more volatility. Compare to Day Trading or Institutional Trading.

Used electric and other pallet jacks, hydraulic cardboard bailer.
