Yeap, money mgmt is key. Most of what is posted here requires wide [mental] stops. I'm usually willing to lose 10-12% before cutting loose. When a position goes into my favor by an order of the same magnitude, I move my stops to breakeven. Profits come when a stock has moved up 20% or greater. All of this is in an effort to try and maintain a better than 2:1 risk/reward ratio.
