Hi Tom - There is merit in what you say.

To each according to their capabilities.

This is a key sentence to me: "I also believe I can tell you when I start getting uncomfortable with the price of a stock, and I would sell"

I expect you are right. What I am asking though is a clear articulation of the science behind "getting uncomfortable with the price of a stock".

What causes comfort or lack thereof? Is it a "gut" thing? Or is it calculated. And if it is calculated, what is the metric and how is it calibrated?

John.
