>> I'll be out with my 10% loss rule kicking in. <<

Wise words from the <H>ydroDiamond... While I exited the drilling sector on the announcement of Opec Round One (March) production/reduction alleged cuts with nice long term gains on RIG, etc.., I could have prevented significant losses on a couple other investments in other sectors if HydroCarbon Rick's Rule of 10% Loss and Exit were followed.

I had wondered why <H> left the sector so quick on his last reentry, but in doing so, he saved himself significant losses. In hindsight, <H> made a good move.
