This will definitely go down as my longest post to date! And it will also "go" into the header of this thread unless you object? That is one of the most well written and informative posts that I have ever read on SI.

re this will definitely go down as my longest post to date Thanks Donna, and a very worthwhile one too. I think we all think there is money still to be made in this market: the fact is, unless you are a very professional trader, there isn't! It's probably best to step aside and wait until it's clear that an upturn is in progress. And even then be careful...it may be shorter than we all hope. Freeus

Dear Sndiego, I have printed, read and re-read this, and I thank you for it. Toward the end you give some advice to Investors, as opposed to Traders. May I ask you two questions? You state: Remember to always cut losses at no more than 8%, and NEVER let a gain turn into a loss. Is that 8% from your purchase price or 8% from from its highest point? Further, if I am already underwater by 8% or more, should I bail out now or hold on and wait for the rising tide to lift my boat? (No, I am not trying to make jokes, but I have to smile at least once in awhile.) Again thank you for your advice. Regards, Irene
