hdl, buy when there is blood in the streets, Tried that and will still continue to do so slowly, but my hard limit is a 7% loss off my entry/test position and I'm out of that stock. A large string of losses and I stay away for a month before I come back. Stocks like NT and rmbs scare me a lot since they have moved violently down before. The moment I think I can beat the street is when I get in serious trouble. The only thing that I do resonably well is capital preservation, there are many smart people who are better at timing them than me, so I won't try too hard to do that. Selling too early hasn't killed me so far. Thanks for the advice, I hope it will work again soon.
