>>>One thing that has proven helpful to me is to keep my daytrades, position trades, and long term investments in separate portfolios... never second guessing why they were placed in any particular one, after the decision was made.

I will not allow myself to do that after NEON and NETA ... both with excellent fundamentals for long term holds ... and they are down from my highest entrys about 50% or so

now I keep close stops ... even on the 'good ones' .... I say to myself ... if it goes down a dollar ... I can probably buy it back a dollar lower than I sold it at ... IF I still want it

bummer though ... had ADBL at 10 3/8 .... it went up to 12 ... I put a stop loss at 11.00 was stopped out did not re-enter ... 2 days later it is at 16.000 soooo ... yes close stops can hurt too.

thank you for your input on stops
