Spirit, Position trading is a quiet and slow way to make substantial gains when nobody is looking. Buying XRX was the correct move. Nobody can predict a warning like that. It just happens . . you called what you saw and that is the important part. SIDEBAR: Also, that is the very reason that NOBODY here should ever be playing 1, 2 or 3 stocks only. . .because if 1 of your stocks gets a 50% haircut, you are out of business for a half a year trying to recover. . .and you may miss the important market moves, because your well is dry. This is what happened to many short-sellers last month. Now they are facing a time in the markets that we will be telling our grandchildren about. . .and the well is dry. . . not good. Spirit, you are truly a fine position trader, specializing in undervalued techs and retailers. Shake XRX off. . re-evaluate. . re-set your goals. . and get back to work. We very much appreciate you sharing your trading strategies with us all each day. Rande Is
