Y'know, I contemplated posting my strategy in the Internuts a couple weeks back, but the current frenzy prompts me to now. I initiated this in November with three names: AOL, ATHM, and CMGI.

Investment amount $I
Permanent stop loss $I minus 25%
Average value of holding set at $I plus 20%, stop loss reset
Maximum value of holding set at $I plus 40%

Whenever the value of the holding gets to +40%, I sell a part of the position to get to $I and reset stop loss to $I minus 25%.

I've now extracted almost my original investment, and still have holdings. I sold portions of two positions this week, and getting close to two more again (on three positions!).

I figured, what the hell!!!
