All,

At the risk of jinxing the latest breakout, I will ask this question, since
it appears that M may finally be back, and that there are some sound stocks
breaking out of nice bases, and sustaining the breakouts....

That having been said, I was wonder how all of you manage your watchlist.
Say for instance you have built a list of 20 (is that too few or too many)
stocks that you are interested in.  You have noted the pivot points, and
are waiting to see what happens.  On a day to day basis, as you read IBD,
or get an idea from some other source on a stock, and after doing some
research, you decide that it could be added to your list, do you delete the
worst stock on your current list to make room for the new one?

In addition to having your watch list, say you have positions in a couple
of stocks, that you bought at the correct breakout, and to date a couple
have gone up 10-20%, and a couple are down less that 8%, or flat. All of
your capital is now in the equities.

Now, one of the stocks on your watch list breaks out on great volume......
Do you sell off the worst performer, to buy into the breakout,  I guess the
underlying question is how long do you hold a stock that you feel is sound,
and has shown no sell signs, but yet is performing flat, or less powerfully
than some of the newest breakout,

Thanks for any thoughts, let's hope this latest rally sticks!!!!
