Doug, it looks like we're on the same wavelength. Most folks fall in love with a stock and bend the rules in order to justify buying when they really shouldn't. Most folks probably don't heed the 8% loss rule, either. I know I've let that one slide myself. There are a few particularly tough things to do: 1) Take small loses to protect your capital. 2) Don't chase stocks 10% past the pivot point. Somebody on the thread has been complaining about the lack of precise sell rules. Maybe his new book goes into that. I'll look into it. Adairm
