I hope some of you are doing great with your stock picks at this time. As for myself, I'm afraid I am not doing too well.(WAH) Hopefully things will work back up for me. Anyway, hopefully most of you are doing much better...

Remember...you don't loose until you sell..
also keep in mind that a little bit of loss helps to offset all that tax you have to pay from all the gains you make on other days... [Big Grin]

ALLWAYS see a positive! [Wink]

Now you're talkin'. I was feeling the same way until I changed my entire trading philosophy. If I'm up 5-10%, a take the profit and move on. I've had much better success with this lately and it restores the confidence in being able to make money, even if it's only a few hundred here and there.

Your missing out in potentional opportunities/profits by making a profit goal of 5-10% and getting out... just put a trailing stop/loss , a regular stoploss or a mental stoploss and let it decide... 5 to 10% is limiting your profits tremendously...buy and read the book below.. may open your eyes to the light:

Trend Following by Michael Covel

Can be found on Amazon.com and other sites or on it's own official site.. some suggested sites are below:
