This table is one of my favorites - because I am a masochist at heart.:) As I mentioned about a week ago, Bill O'Neil, publisher of IBD listed in his first article of a series in IBD that the first rule of investing is protecting your capital. When you buy a stock, always set a stop position. If the stock doesn't go up, but goes down, you get stopped out and live to fight another day. I didn't do that when I had the opportunity. Now I am stuck with several stocks that will go up someday, but if I had stopped out, and then bought now, I would have twice as much stock for the same amount of money. Then when the rise comes, as it most certainly will, I would have been in pretty good shape. Now I need a 100 percent gain or better just to get even - let alone make any money. The last several months has been a painful lesson for me. It is probably not over yet either! The bad earnings news is just beginning to roll in.
