Last, Sorry for the confusion. Yes, you guessed it, I have been keeping tight stop losses. In fact on SUNW I set a tight trailing stop loss which obviously explains how I lost money on the shake. On Dell, I also had a very tight stop loss. Is 4% an across the board general guideline for gaps or are you basing that on just DELL? I am trying to preserve my capital without taking huge losses, but I realize that in some cases my stop losses are causing me losses. Weird. Thanks for your help Last. I am always watching this thread so I can learn from those who are much more experienced. Tara
