Another theory is to pretend that you are all cash. (wouldn't that be nice). Then evaluate a stock as to whether you would buy it here, given the trend, chart and fundamentals. If you buy a stock at a price, then you should hold a stock at that price. If you wouldn't buy it here, then likely you should sell it. jmho. larry

To the Z'ers ..... these are both excellent ideas by you and by Larry if we were to make these as "requirements" for any Z trade and we had each other to depend on ... to help us carry through or push each other ... mebbee ... just mebbee we could make the Z perform better ... and thus help ourselves out TOO I see trades made here ... that I think are bad, but I hesitate to say anything sometimes, for fear of hurting feelings ... so is that helping my friends? NO ... just spares hard feelings. Is this a feelings tread or a real trading thread? >>>>"Another theory is to pretend that you are all cash. (wouldn't that be nice).

Re: >>>"My technique, which I admit I have yet to use (not true, I really have used it but not as frequently as I should) - I write up my expectations about a position including weakness, if any, I should see in it... if it doesn't play how I expect it to, then I exit. Not soon enough, mind you, but I exit. But then all I do is play options with pin money... so"<<<< this is just ideas .... and it WOULD be more work ... ARE we worth it IS making the money and NOT LOSING it worth the trouble? A support/supportive group .... hmmmm
