Losing trades (general thoughts) -

I've been doing a little thinking about holding onto losing trades. I guess everyone has done it. Even after we had that info posted on the weekend. For some reason, I don't have much of a problem selling my losers. As much as I hate to admit defeat (and I've had to do it *way* too many times on my trading), I just hate holding a loser even more. To me, if they are in the red, that stock is just pissing me off (stoopid stock). I'll kick the damn thing to the curb in a heart beat (if it can't pay its share of the bills, it definitely aint living under *my* roof).

Even when I look at my winners, I'm just waiting for them to show any sign of weakness and then they get kicked as well. Maybe I have this strange hatred for the issues I trade. Except for my long term holds (which I'll hold even with *huge* losses, at least in the first few months), I don't trust any of the issues I trade. hmmmmm...

Anyways... Just kinda my early morning thoughts after a night without enough sleep.

Good luck everyone. HAND

llater,
Tony B
