I know how you feel! I also have WEBT, ICIX, ORCL. Could have made a dollar or two but thought I should hold on. Rode them right to the bottom. It's very frustrating not knowing when to get out. Hope you get some answers. Linda L.

ewbx,webt, efax, vrio. EFAX I held all of 2 days. VRIO I'm long intermediate same for WEBT.. EWBX is correcting after a good run. Viola, these are very volatile stocks and should not be held the same way you would hold a PEP or a HD. You must place trading goals for yourself and these goals should be followed. Stock selection sites are looking for 5-10% a trade with 10% being way overdone. If you hold these stocks overnight you should close these positions after you have made your profit. I keep an intermediate portfolio but EFAX and EWBX are not in this portfolio. Until a stocks has the 'credentials' to enter the portfolio as an intermediate hold it is relegated to just a swing trade or even daytrade status. You have inadvertently held onto EWBX and EFAX too long and it was only on the list for a potential gain of 5 to 10%. I will write a more detailed article on setting price targets.
