Ron,

Since we are both talking % here, risk is risk. Position sizing is the other dimension.

The difference is that when I set my sell stop for a particular price, liquidity in big stocks tells me I actually will get a fill at or very near my price. Not 5% away from my price!

Not always so on BB. Its not even always so on thinly traded major market stocks and that's why I don't touch them.

Give me 4 to 5 million shares a day on a symbol and I'm happy.

Who the hell would still be holding after a 50% decline??
