    ABF, don't know why the position went against you so sharply, eps, news driven or maybe another stk in the sector. You have to be very aware of sectors and what's going on that can drive simbiotic or corrolated pairs. Upgrade/downgrades can severly affect other stks also. Unless you have a position large enough to merit hedging with options, indices or non corrolated pairs, which puts more capital at risk there's really nothing to do but use a hard stop, that at least limits your loss to a predifined #.

  3. ABF,

    I will attempt to put this in words that you will understand since you are so obviously daft. You, gov'ner, are a bloody wanker.

    Hope that helps.
