hi judy, i hope u will feel better soon. I sold (naz=+8 to +3) accroding to the list mostly in the roth ira. i left some msft. i sold some. my long term postioins i did not touch. do not intend to put stops or buy puts. i m feeling very bullish on the market now that i m back in cash in my ira and the market is pulling back. i added to my non ira accounts today and tomorrow if sell off continues i will buy into ira accounts. if market goes up i will sell more from the non ira account. i just can't help not buying if i see bargains. take plenty of water. drink hot water w. salt.

Judy, I am sorry to hear that you are ailing. I hope things are well with you in the market. I was ill about a week ago, took some of those Zinc losenges, and man they tasted like iron, but I never recovered faster. Somthing about zinc helping the body recover or somthing. I had never heard about it. It is tough with these weather fluxes, hot and cold that makes me get more colds than I like. Anything look good to you? I bet that IPO from Barry does well when it hits. Also look at Sharper Image, trading at very low multiples and recently established an internet presence. Read an article today at work about DELL being regarded as an internet stock since the goal of the Co is to have more and more of their sales from online. So expect the stock to go to 3k by next month. kidding.. Take care...

hi judy, my stops consists of many methods (depending on the time frame for my trades and the sector/stock) 1) 9 day ema 2) support/resistance 3) sell limit for example, i sold out of amat when it failed to rally after breakout abv 40... 40 was broken today, so I sold out at slight loss. Other stocks, If I have healthy gains, I will take profits along the way to "lock" in profits. I think you did the same with your AOL trade earlier this month. For volatile stocks (like my MU Trades), I did sell limits to sell me close to resistance.. I love that the most because you're selling into strength.. But some stocks where there is no clear resistance levels, this technique is some what harder. I try to strive for 80-90% winning trades and cut loss on te remaining ones.
