Hi Harold,

WON only uses the 8% rule at the time of a valid breakout. The pullbacks =
referred to in the article are pullbacks within the uptrend...not at the =
time of breakout. For example, WON says that stocks that rise 20% or =
more within 8 weeks of the breakout are typically very strong and =
suggests holding on during the first consolidation. The article today is =
simply saying that  if you set hard stops too tightly during the =
uptrend, you will likely be shaken out of an otherwise healthy stock =
that is simply acting "normally" in its uptrend or will get shaken out =
on intraday action where the close is otherwise healthy.

  Tuesday's Investor's Corner seemed to illustrate that following the =
WON rule of selling when a stock has dropped 8% would have shaken you =
out of all of the top 12 winners of the 1997-2000 period.  I am puzzled =
by the message here.  Don't follow the WON rule?

  Thanks
