    P.S. Why doesn't he escape targets with 10%? Why wait for 20%. He can get in and out of more good stocks that way with less exposure.

    Wonderboy claims he is now entering stocks with a high volume/price rank within the top 10 performing industry groups within the last mo.

  2. With these low ranges and the upcoming resumption of the bear market I really think ElectricYahoo should reduce his targets to 10%. There is a cycle for everything and he really must consider his length of days in a trade. This absurd averaging down that he does must be controlled.

    The only thing keeping this market alive is the Election year. Interest rates are going up and look out for inflation. These oil prices will cause rising prises, as it cannot be absorbed forever, and only so much can be accomplished through hedging. We must pay for this war too. Those babyboomers are getting tired and will be retiring soon.

    P.S. Really we must learn how to save money here in America and stop the borrowing. If we do not do this, this spiral cannot be offset. You can throw a ball up in the air, but cannot keep it up there forever...

  3. We shall try exits at 10% targets to avoid too much averaging down and to adjust to the narrow range environment , now that we are fully invested.

    The nature of our entries actully look for low range stocks so perhaps the 10% targets should have been used from the beginning.

  8. i looked at your positions and ouch- you're getting smoked.

    I suggest tighter stops, adhering to them and finding better risk/ reward plays.
    Also, you might think about hedging losses with other stocks in the same sector.

    good luck
