Thanks for the amplification, Greg. I do need to turn off this cottin' pickin' computer and get out to the woodshop! But then how could I then preclude a loss >10%.

<I do try to sell before I get a 10% loss, and never let a gain turn into a loss.>

When you say you never let a gain turn into a loss, does this mean that you are watching the TA? (I am cerebrally challenged in TA. My old finance MBA FA skills are worthless in this market! Also, I have not the head for options.)

Are you speaking of short term or long term? Could you restate the principle?...in terms of the Q @400+ last week, and JD @251 this afternoon?

Keeping margin at 60% would give me some flexibility, rather than keeping my nose in it to the max. I have to get over the "pedal to the metal" syndrome.

Thanks in advance...jj
