If, when I bought it, the base (or handle) had = a $4 up/down range between $20 and $24, my stop loss would be set around = 19.75 or so, just under the base. If several months passed, and it was st= ill heading east, but now only trading between $22 and $24, I probably wo= uld raise my stop loss to $21.80 or so. - ----- Original Message ----- =20 From: NANCY POLCARO =20 To: canslim =20 Sent: Friday, March 21, 2003 12:05 AM Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] selling laggards Tom can you explain what you mean by tightening up the trading range high= er then my stop loss level.

Thanks nancy - ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Worley Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 7:04 PM To: canslim@lists.xmission.com Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] selling laggards my typical limit is about 3 months, unless I find something much more compelling and attractive. I will not usually alter my stop loss criteria= , so long as it's moving sideways, unless it is tightening up the trading range considerably higher than my loss level (since I want the stop loss = set at the bottom of the base). Many times, when I am getting weary of waiting for the breakout, I may se= ll half the position and use that money for something that is moving. - ----- Original Message ----- From: <michael_niemotka@baxter.com> To: <canslim@lists.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 3:30 PM Subject: [CANSLIM] selling laggards Hello all, I know that we all try and study, and implement strong buy and sell rules for stocks in the CANSLIM system, but I was wondering how long each of yo= u hold onto a stock that is traveling sideways after your purchase. I know we have the 7-8% loss sell rule, but what about a stock that is neither rising or falling? Do you have a timeframe maximum, ie, if I don't see a 5% rise after 6 weeks, I am going to sell? Do you set a break even sell point if it has risen a little? Do you set a tighter stop loss, say 5-6% rather than 7-8%? I am wondering about how to free up capital, without abandoning a stock that is just forming a base on base pattern. Also, I wish all of our troops overseas a safe and quick return home.
