Mohan: What a great attitude. I have lost 15% of what I had on Aug 8th and I am whining and crying about it. You are so cheerful! I would love to get back into buy and hold as I used to do. But I cant, I love trading too much. I need to find a way to do it that makes money though or when I retire I'll be either working again or living on the street (not wall st). I agree that the market dropping 15% from its high is a signal to sell. But do you think that means sell everything? Are you completely out of everything now, or holding on hoping things will come back? I need to do something soon to get out of margin. I am hoping for an updraft from cpq and dell. I have given up on an updraft from wdc or intel. (I still like intel but I need to sell something to get out of margin.). Maybe I even still like the others, but what is there to like when a stock is falling. That wasnt the reason we bought! I was thinking of the 30% or 25% for trading also. And leave the rest in long- but which ones to keep for long? Best wishes. Here's to prosperity. Freeus You can only live life as you choose if you allow others too also.
