Most of my picks are for bottom-fishing, most bounces are quite strong within the first few days(2~5days). Then their growth may become slower in the following days. I would focus on fast gain from bottom-fishing picks within 2~10 days. However, you could probably gain more if you hold some picks for longer time (>10 days). This depends on your money management style & trading style.
