<<I would have made over 20 k ifI had sold DYN today instead of a loss..I'm sick at my stomach.MKT is changing again. >> Just remember, there is HUGE volatility in this market...how many days have we seen the market down 200 points, only to close 200 points up, and vice versa.....those are huge swings, and they happen daily....heck, they happen hourly......a tight stop of 10% and the mm's will come and take your shares....in this market you are best to use mental stops, and additionally, I would say 70% of stocks go up and down....not just up or just down......so, if you are patient, no need to take the loss.....down 30% one day...and 2 days later, you could be up 20%....patience, patience, patience....good luck.....
