off topic... Can someone tell me what a stop loss order is and how it works. I heard it mentioned once on this thread. I also have holdings in a company ( actc ) and on that thread one of the individuals got an e-mail stating that they use 125 TA indicators and they show a possible selloff situation. All this when earnings are coming out probobly tomorrow and the hype for quite some time has been for another great quarter. I pose this question on this thread because there seems to be some very serious traders here - people who really know what they are doing. Any help from the experienced would be appreciated. thx d.thompson

Hi all, and thanks for the welcome, Would invite all fence sitters to consider-I had a very small position in ftel until about 2 months ago. That position has grown rather dramatically as of late. The reason for me certainly has been what's been said so well here, as well as my own dd, but the main factor has had to do with the absolute chaos in the foriegn markets. The popular wisdom for years has been "Invest in foriegn markets as part of your portfolio as it mitigates risk and acts as a hedge during down domestic markets. I would submit that whats happened in the Pac Rim, Europe, Russia and the new European markets, and the US over the last little while has seriously called into question the "popular wisdom" What to do? For me the answer has been issues like ftel. These types of companies provide an emerging market, without currency risk, with easily acsessible info, and a float in a market place regulated. They would also seem rather insulated from some of the influences so dramatically effecting world markets. All I know is a lot of my money formerly residing in Hong Kong is now living in Westlake. So if you have any money left in your international holdings, like emerging markets and are looking for a possible hedge, hey have I got a stock for you. And SolieRa (sp?) if you ain't nervous you ain't invested.
