Just a follow-up on cutting your losses.

I know my $3700 loss on LWN wasn't much to many of you big losers out there :))) but it hurt like hell when I made myself cut my losses a couple of days ago and move on to something else. Well to make a long story short, LWN just hit $5.80 and is dropping fast. My $3700 loss would have turned into a $7900 (paper) loss if I would have done the stupid thing and held the stock waiting for a rebound. I used part of that money to play ATY and now MCF and made back a good part of my losses back.

Two lessons well learned by myself by that trade: Always use stop losses and when you are too stupid to use stop losses at least be smart enough to cut your losses.

Note: JDX was stopped cold once again at .55. Still watching and if a breakout start I will give a heads up.

Best Regards
KEITH
