Sun, do I look smart enough to have set a stop on STBI? <8) (me with a dunce cap). I didn't think so.... I have had this thing with my wife, where I don't trade. We are "investing for the long haul". I am a really crappy investor (although, to be fair, I guess 1 year of not really messing with my "investments" isn't really "investing"). Was much better at trading. On your art of investing site I posted that I had learned that even in "investing" mode, I could still use stops. I was actually debating do it for STBI. But by the time it started to fall- geez...it was pretty much too late. Then I went without really paying attention for a few days last week. Cripes! But I told myself to wait until x-mas... Believe me, I did see it drop through 8, and the only thing going through my mind was: I hope Sun doesn't ask me if I set a stop... :) I am not kidding or being sarcastic, though I was laughing to myself at the time. At 6 it isn't so funny...I still like STBI, and will hold through x-mas season...
