PUMA..could be a sell at 46 depending when you entered and what you want from the trade. I'm still holding part but I have no idea if I want to hold more than a few hundred through earnings or anything. A trader of PUMA would have sold before today's close, an investor might have other ideas. Now that that we got our 14% profit, its just a matter of deciding whether you want to hold longer term in what could be a sell off after earnings.. I personally am inclined to exit the entire position and get onto something else of interest. Traders have entirely different 'behavior and mores' than normal relationships between people. Here we tend to bounce from 'relationship to relationship' without committing emotionally to anything more than a 1-4 day run and even less if its earnings related. The normal relationship (comparing to an investor would be more like a committed relationship and I'm not interested) These relationships do not have its place in trading. We dont 'give another chance' for the relationship to work or try harder, we just leave for greener pastures. The relationship between a trader and his trade is probably the most distant and non-emotional that there is.
