Bob, that sounds about right to me! Even though natural market forces look like a conspiracy against us, it's only the market forces at work. When a stock is lightly traded, minorly odd things are bound to happen. If you want downside protection, you buy puts. "Too Expensive!" we say. So we set stops. There is a risk in setting the stop. I think when you determine a fair price for the risk, you should get something close to the put price! I mean, that's how they are priced, plus or minus a nice commission for the trouble of whoever write it to sell you. IMO. So, it's my opinion that the dip that takes out your stop is the price to the downside protection. The more risk you take, the less chance of having the stop broken. What do you think? Web (I've reduced my holdings to a prudent level, and now I'm just going to hold on and see what develops.)
