j.o.: Well, this Market has driven me to the brink on more than one occasion as of late...<g> I have my finger on the exit button and have my lines drawn in the sand. I suggest anyone else playing this Market do the same. I have mixed signals and that always forces me to be cautious. Reality is, I am always cautious...<g> I am an aggressive conservative investor/trader...<ggg> I take a few more positions sometimes than I would like, but I don't get burned when a trade goes against me. Commissions are just to cheap these days, not to protect yourself with mental stops loss points if your able to track your investments/trades intraday....regular stop loss points if you are not. Stop loss points will vary depending on your investment time horizon, the volatility of the stock your in and your own risk tolerance. The folks I have run across that have lost the most are folks that don't use stop loss points and those that chase a price move in a rapidly moving issue with a small float relative to the volume being traded.
