I've already gained six points by selling earlier. My policy on falling knives is to give up the first couple of points to let them prove they are moving back up.

General huge market rebounds don't count.

<< I'll sell you my shares which I bought today>>


William Feather, a 19th-century publisher, once said, "One of the funny things about the stock market is that every time one man buys, another sells, and both think they are astute."
(from the NYT)
