One of the things that has enabled me to outdo most investors is using the
Action Point or Take Profit point or Stop Loss point (whatever definition
you use) as an insurance policy to either take profits or stop losses at a
preset level on a stock.

However, the key is that if the stock goes back through the level where you
sold it (or conversely covered it on the short side) re-establish the trade
if the basic reason you purchased the stock in the first place is still
valid.

Many investors sell stocks and then forget about them.

For example.

TSCO originally bot at 28 went to 39, executed take profit at 36.75.
Dropped lower and repurchased at 37 went to 44, executed take profit at 42.
Dropped lower and repurchased at 42.15, now 53.  Action point is now 50.25.

In a trading market like this, you have to think like a trader.

I think Tom made the remark about wishing he'd held on to this one longer.

I'm looking at a 1 yr log chart and view the most recent valid breakout as
2/28. This would should have been at about $12-$12.5 (?)

Given all of the failed breakouts we've waded through lately, I for one,
would have probably pulled the plug on 3/22 given the 2 big tails in 5 days.
Granted the volume wasn't huge, I would still have a hard time watching my
stock come back to zero after almost a month.

Do others see it this way?
