Matt,

Many of the stocks here are very volatile and using stops upon initiating a position will often get you shaken out if placed within 10% of any buy price. This would have been true for AINN since it first hit the thread at, I believe 7 7/16 and got to 8 before dipping to under 7, and then the attitude kicked in. Of course, once it's moving, protecting profit with a trailing stop is a good idea.
