<<I put a stop loss on all my dell in at 100 last night thinking it would never go into effect but would just be insurance. I am out now.>> Ouch!!! Someone made 6 3/4 points on your shares by the close a few minutes later. The price of insurance. Your episode graphically points out a downside to using a stop loss. You run the risk of being stopped out of your shares during a temporary dip that may be in effect for a very, very short period of time. Reentry will most likely will have to be made at a higher price. With earnings and a possible split on the horizon, it seems prudent to reevaluate and readjust the risk/reward relationship. Purchasing protective puts can also offer insurance against the risk of a tanking stock while allowing you to determine if you want to part with your shares. 4-Bob
