Great trades, Richard. And thanks for the warm fuzzies on the thread. Thanks to all of you we have a great signal-to-noise ratio compared to a lot of threads.

Will look at unloading some losers next week to bring cash up - painful, but need to do.

Every garden needs to be trimmed and pruned (now I sound like Chance, right?). I try to sell stocks off the bottom of my winners and losers list. If I need to raise cash soon, the top candidates might be VUSA, CYPLF and IFSX. So far I think they are just victims of the sector slump so I am hanging on.

Option B is to sell your flat performers. I could dump AIB and AMG to raise another 5% cash without losing much either way. Right now I would rather do that than give up on companies with more potential.

I'm always inclined to let a loser
run because to do otherwise is admitting
defeat, too.

I hear you. At times like these, it is
easier to cut the losers because I figure
I can buy something better after the market
beats it to death.
