**OT** to all Put to All for comments, I took 100 shares of DELL and bought & sold on the way down using sell with stop/limit over the last two weeks. DATE SHARES SOLD BOUGHT COMMISSION 5/15 100 9225 29.95 5/18 100 9150 29.95 5/21 100 8850 29.95 5/22 102 8638.13 29.95 5/29 102 8466 29.95 6/1 100 7900 29.95 TOTALS -26,541 25,588.13 -179.70 TOTAL LOSS -1132.57 LOSS IF HAD NOT BOUGHT & SOLD 9850 -7900 = -1950.00 I SAVED $817.43. Was I just lucky, or is their something to be gained by putting stop/ limit/ sell on a stock such as DELL in a declining trend?? I used minus 6 to 8% as a stop number and gut feeling along with comments from this and other threads. The comments of people such as Bob Brinker and others on the professional side also influenced me. I suspect it was just luck. Maybe some of you number crunchers out there can tell me? Steve.
