I am long term on MCF with a few shares and I trade a few! So far I have found it doesn't work to place stops on my trading shares (internuts) as I often get knocked out with the volatility and the games (dirt) the brokers play and then loose out on the rallies. I have made a decision to hold my trading shares and make sell decisions when I want to in order to take profits when they are available. I may be wrong but I have gotten burned on BII twice, IWM and now MCF by placing stop loses. In all cases I would have been better to hold and make a sell the next day! I will see how this new strategy works. Comments anyone! Ray
