Stan,

I tend not to use stop-losses on my longterm holdings, because of past experience at being stopped out of a company I want and which then takes off after I'm out.

Same here. I have instead been thinking of using some options to "buy insurance" for what might be rather predictable downturns in a stock. As an example, my Citrix has a history of plummeting following an earnings announcement. It's done it again and I didn't have anything in place to protect myself. Will everyone on this board please send rotten tomatoes through my modem next quarter if I fail yet AGAIN to get my butt in gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!
