    How long are you willing to hold it?
    They sell cars. What catalyst do you see that will make people buy more cars?
    I'd look at earnings growth rather than P/E.

    Reassess every quarter unless they hit my max loss limit (7% from cost) before. Right now it's down less than 2% from cost.
    Earning Growth average last 5 years is 44.5%, stellar.

    Knowing what you know now would you buy it today?

    Better yet would you have a close family member buy it today?

    Can't claim originality for it.

    From a book, "It's when you sell that counts" by Donald Cassidy.

    And the question is to be asked for as long as one holds a stock.

    If you can't answer yes each day, then it must be sold. Pronto.

    I have the book, I don't remenber that quote but I have often said that the decision to hold a stock should be the same as the decision to buy a stock.
    Why would you hold a stock you wouldn't buy?
    Putting a family member at risk just adds more pressure.

    That's what I just did by deciding to keep it.

    No. What I'm saying is deciding to keep the stock is no different than buying it if I had none.
    I'll only buy more if and when it gets some momentum.
