  1. I disagree, sarcasm is at its best when someone squared doesn't get it. You are the living proof that is good.

    I tried to avoid a falling knife but failed and ended with 17 stitches, sliced nerve and artery of my pinky finger. But that wasn't as bad as the falling knife of loosing 50% of gains from the previous year.

    Catching a falling knife is fun only when the knife doesn't keep falling after you caught it.

    Losing 50% of the gains?? Yikes... Seeing how insightful your posts are on ET, I am a bit shocked at this confession.

    I'm a fairly transparent person and derive no ego boost nor shame from trading gains and losses. I try to learn and hopefully make fewer errors. On the other hand I'm not afraid to take risks, and risks and a two edges knife.

    Duh, what else can you expect out of something that gains over 2000% in value over 10 years? Tell me something I don't already know!

    But what about the last 10 years? Or it's entire lifespan? Ahhhhhh, need to think before you speak. I'll just pretend like I didn't hear your last comment that made absolutely no sense :)

    I always wait for a stock to base and then methodically put in a stop under the base.
    Otherwise you will take big losses.
