Jeffrey:

If I don't take action when the stock (or any stock, even if it is RIMM) dives by 10%, then I should not be investing. I should just get somebody else to manage my money. By being passive I have the risk of taking even bigger lost. It is hard to take that action because who in the world like to admit of making a mistake? Investing in QCOM these days: is it a mistake or not? Long term investors having a cost basis of $ 1.50/share on QCOM will say: I stay during thick and thin. But is it better to take profit when Q was in the high 40's and pay taxes, than sitting around $ 35 and avoid taxes? Why should anyone consider tax avoidance? The more taxes I pay means the more money I have made.

Well, we take losses, that's the tuition in life. Just don't dig deeper when I am in a hole.
