Well, there you go....

How come you didnt cut your losses sooner??????

Because of the mind set...it will eventually go back up???

This is why I cant do the long term in the vault thing..except with a few stocks...GE, PFE, DELL......thats about it....
and CPQ for the "give as a gift at cost basis kind of thing if it gets to 20"

the rest I have to trade

and cutting your losses is one of the hardest things to master...

and I am still a slave to the Loss-Master.....

believe me.....my blood is all over WallStreet as I have cut my trading teeth

maybe one day I will be the Dom.....

Tom,

How that champagne? Keeping it chilled? Is champagne like red wine? The longer you keep it the better it gets? If so, we gonna have a mighty good tasting when the UFAB boat comes in.....

Can you believe it and are you sitting down? I actually have some UFAB stock that is now profitable!!!

Tom / Lisa,
I am new to the thread and eavesdropped your comments on strategy. I am in the Oil Sector in Houston and a Sr. exec with a service company which I obviously can't discuss here.. Would like to learn more about investing so I am jumping in and interested in limited day trading specifically on other oil service contractors / companies which I compete and have good knowledge of so maybe I can help with info on companies other than mine in return for good investing ideas, if there are any.

Rgds.
