OJ: Your ANATOMY OF A BAD TRADE was insightful...but don't beat yourself up too badly. Good trading rules can help protect us from our humanness...the greed, the fear, the too-tentative trading, the too aggressive trading... but not always and not entirely. I don't follow KLIC and I don't know what you did but I get the sense you didn't take some profits when they were there...maybe didn't put stops in, perhaps stayed with a losing position too long. The 5 rules you list are good and will help immeasurably as will sticking with Jenna's Earnings Plays and Watch Lists. But things can still go wrong...managements that once accurately led earnings estimates can blow it big in a particular reporting period...a CFO or CEO can suddenly resign...an order imbalance or unexpected piece of bad news can halt trading in a stock and open it 10-15 points below your stop price. I spend a lot of time with my trading partner and with Doc Kronkite discussing the market and the successes and failures and how to deal with the failures so they are minimized. As doc Kronkite would likely say to you, as he does to me when I've made a dumb play..."It's OK boobeleh, it's OK. Go home, do better...see you next Saturday. (Lee)
