Most of the time, when a stock drops I should just average in but maintain the original sell price, make even more! But...hindsight is not relevant. Where you're in the midst of a trade and you're down five grand, it's hard not to take measures to lower the risk and bow out with a small profit. And that's again why reality and theory are two different things.
I'm not usually one to complain about posting things in the proper thread, I'm sure I'm guilty of it myself. Mostly I'm responding to others who have already posted in the incorrect thread. This seems like this is more of a miscellaneous thread, and that's fine, if it's actually miscellaneous stuff by various different people on various different topics, but I'd really rather not have this all about stocks. Can you do us a favor MDawg and keep the stock talk contained to a separate thread dedicated to it? Thanks in advance.
