greg..."exit a bad trade"

conviction of the reality that it is bad and it will get worse....along with the ability to close, take the loss and not to look back.....

only way you can learn from your own mistakes....do it too much, then you must question your initial strategy and expectations....

good luck...ed a.

I am not saying this to seem cute but you will see me do selling more when a stock I like is up than when it is down. Did with AOL, Dell, Rnwk, Bcst and even Qcom.

The reason I told you what I have was to explain why I have faith in them but like Keith said, IT IS A FAITH IN THE MARKET TURNING MORE THAN ANYTHING. Still say one should be half in and half out of the market for situations like now.

You tend to have more stocks at any one time than I do and I can understand why you might use more technical analysis where mine is more feel and logic..

I still say this is pretty much the bottom and we should move up some tomorrow and even more on Friday and move on toward Jan,

To sum up, I have nothing I am desiring to sell in here. Did not get any of my ridiculous bids but did get EXTR at the market open.
