Selling in the face of unexpected bad news. Yes, that often works out well as a tactic to minimize losses. Usually the news is followed by an immediate stock drop. For me, sometimes I just figure that the bad news immediately tanking a stock means the news is then incorporated into the stock price, so it's too late to sell the stock. That's not worked with pharmas where there seems to be no end to a cycle of bad news announcements followed by stock price declines.
