I've learned to look at each long trading position/investment position with a "fresh" view every time I review them. Like I just bought the stock at the current price. Why would I hold it? Why at this price? What do I think the stock is going to do, short/medium/long term? Would I buy more here and why? I try very had to keep these questions in mind. I have found taking this view really helps me limit my losses for the most part. Its tougher for longer term positions but the more one can apply these types of techniques, I think the better off one becomes. Not to change the subject but FB is starting to look interesting here around $25/share. Their initial IPO range was thought to be $26-28 and the stock is now below that. Congrats to all the insiders who were able to dump at $38 but I would suspect a few of them are starting to consider buying back some here... The over allotment and the distribution to retail investors is why this thing is getting whacked, imo. I think we're getting near the point where the fear has chased out the weak... Need a 50% gain from here just to get back to the IPO price <ng>. Watching for a reversal but no need to step in front of the on coming train without tight stops in place!!
