Sergio: < PROPOSED RULE CHANGE > Agree.. That would be a good Idea.
Sometimes people forget about thier picks.. this will help elimanate that problem from being reflected in the Portfolio.

I am going to keep my CHS open. Love that Yahoo CHS message board!! LOL

Sergio: < PROPOSED RULE CHANGE >

I agree to the proposed change and I would limit the loss even more. No more than 20%. I think if you take your entry point carefully, a 20% loss should be enough to warn you that you made a wrong decision for the immediate term. As Jessie Livermore used to say: "You have to stop being wrong in order to be right." and "it doesn't pay for a man to be wrong."

Rule change on stop loss is fine with me.. a trade's got to know its limitations.

Sergio,
Thanks for the introduction, and kind words. I think this looks like a fun thread. I should have a stock for the portfolio sometime very soon. I've got a few candidates from my sequentials watch list I am watching....

Sergio--WGA and CHP both have pretty decent BOP as well as strong MoneyStream. Also both are breaking above the zero line on short, intermed. and long term MACD readings. Nice picks. Myron

Sergio--The rule change doesn't excite me. If some of us want to be masochistic publically, why should we be constrained from our "kinkiness". Well, one answer is that it embarrasses others. So I guess I can go along. However, I might buy MSGI back as it might go up tomorrow and I hate to see my results not improved. I am waiting for a pop as Jenna indicated is quite possible with these babies. MACD 12/26/9 gave a buy today and MACD 8/17/9 is in postive territory. Also the longer term MACD is improving as well.

OK, here is a compromise for me. Close out my position and give me a new buy at the closing price today. It will likely gap tomorrow at opening and I don't want that price. The stubborn Texas BOPPER, Myron

P.S. Someone should check out the old favorite of Jim Strauss, BOBJ, as it gave a hit on a new scan I have been running for two days. Yesterday's hit was RSYS which was good for 2.50 pts.

Sergio:

If we are going to go with stop losses, they should probably be
tighter... 15% to 20% for trades, and 25% for longer term
investments... To do this the person would have to initially
identify their selection as either a trade or investment...

I vote yes, good idea.

<PROPOSED RULE CHANGE....please let me know if you are in agreement or
not. I think that we can improve on our results if we set a stop loss at 25%. Once a
position is 25% in the hole, we close it out as of the closing price that day. Everyone
agree?>
