re when to sell ? Maybe sell 10% if a stock goes up 10% in 10 days. I read somewhere that some mutual funds do this. I agree that the sell point is the hardest part. I am becoming more and more a believer in just holding the stock . hmm. that could invoke a lot of ST cap gains tax (in a non-IRA account). not sure i like that method... at some stage, one has to sell instead of hold, to transform "paper gain" to "real gain". cheers, kumar

Maybe sell 10% if a stock goes up 10% in 10 days If I did anything, I would buy 10% more in 10 days. Feed a winner and starve a looser", has been my motto. That has cost me, on paper, the last 10 days.

The best case for me is to add as a stock goes up. I rarely average down when a stock goes below my purchase price since I feel that is throwing good money after bad. On another note, I'm surprised anyone can say that any of the B2B stocks can be Gorillas, other then ORCL. G
