George, I'll take a run at your question. My comments are general enough that they apply to stocks or options of any company. When a stock goes up and down the investors get whipsawed by the action and in some ways a longer term investor that is bothered by this action is better off not to track the stock frequently but track it over a longer period. Another approach if you don't have confidence in your stocks or the market is to consider the best investment attitude. Consider at the time you are deciding if the stock you are invested in is the best you can be in. If not, why are you invested in that stock? This is like the chasing the best looking girl. Eventually you will find one you want to stay with a while. Jumping in and out of stocks (Day-Trading) works for some but can also require a lot of energy and time. This approach chases the momentum players and isn't for the unstable! If you are investing, consider the factors why that stock was purchased, write them down and date it. When considering selling the stock, review those reasons for the purchase, decide if the stock is underperforming and decide if it has gone far enough of track that it should be sold. Be decisive! If a company can get back on track you will be rewarded. If not it may be a sign of management or market conditions that may accelerate the decline. During these up and down periods the companies management is focused on the company. The markets and stocks go wild and maybe a calming hobby would be something to think about or a good business shrink. :o) Pat
