pcy,

Agreed, but a bit vague. Do you have any hard rules you follow, ie x percentage gain for a sector. Likewise for individual stocks can you quantify a "great deal", 50%? And for trailing stops what % below market do you usually set or what other method do you use to set the stops. Just want to get a feel for exactly what others ar doing so I can think about tweaking my methods.

thanks,
joby

>> if the stock has advanced a great deal, I would use trailing stops <<

Not all brokers offer trailing stop orders.
Investors should have accounts at brokers that offer trailing stops.
