O'Neil's statements are so right and so easy to say! Hindsight is 100% and the statements defy any plausable arguement!BUT and is there not always a BUT! I find many stocks that fake you out! and a rapid departure in many will cause you capitol loss, just as sure as staying in one and losing more of your investment. If you pick wrong and cut your losses after a certain % is a speculators credo, takes away the LONG TERM commitment to a company, and I have held many that if I had bailed after a certain % down trend I would have given up some impressive gains! Depends on the person and their circumstances! I agree if you are a scalper, or day trader your exit plan needs to be executed as stated. BUT, if you do your DD and get a good solid investment going, I disagree you should cut and run at the first dip! Trying to read a book and beat the street at the same time to me is folly! Stocks go up and down, its simple and you can quote ENOTS, Just buy a stock that is going up! and if it is not going up, don't buy it..... Think I should write a book? Well probably not, maybe just start a business news paper.

Steve, excellent post and point of view well presented. My perspective is different than yours as I don't have much doubt that TPG's earnings will meet our expectations. However everyone has their point of tolerance and should the present low volume sell off continue, I too will be a seller. Everything that I know about this stock tells me that it's undervalued and waiting to be discovered. Getting out where you did, allows you to get back in should there be evidence of a good upcoming earnings release or the work of the to be announced IR firm is effective or the application for the NASDAQ listing is filed. Looking at the price of the stock today, it is certain that you made the right move. No question. I am puzzled by the lack of news releases or publicity when compared to the promptness and punctuality of filing the required SEC documents. Last week we saw the 13D filing and did everyone notice the S-8 filed along with LUNN's 10Q ? Sergio
