Thanks everyone! I don't use a deep discount broker (I use Schwab) and =
they don't have trailing stops as an option. 'Wish they did.....

Chuck,

A trailing stop works like this:
=20
If you put a stop at $9.50 (5% below $10.00) when having it stock =
bought at $10.00 then if the stock goes up to $11 then the stop will =
change to $10.45 (5% below $11). It basically stays the same percentage =
under the new high reached. In case the stock drops then to $10.45 the =
stop order will be executed because it only moves up when a new high is =
reached from the point that you bought it for.

Please explain "trailing stop". How is that different than the stop =
loss that I'm familiar with? Thanks....

Rolf,
I asked a similar question a couple of months ago.=20
Tom Worely posted a reply, but I regret I can't find
his actual message -however I did print a hard copy. =20
On 3/20/03 Tom wrote:
...the normal procedure I use is to leave the stop
loss unchanged (from the 8% stop placed after
purchase) until I am up at least 15%. At that point,
I raise my limit to my original entry point (or
aveerage price if multiple purchases). After that, I
try to us a trailing stop 15% below the prior day
(sometimes the closing price, sometimes the intraday
high, depends on the chart, stock, fundies, how badly
I want to take profits, etc.) Of course, once raised,
the stop loss should NEVER be lowered.
Also found this message from Tom written on 4/21/03:
"I think any stop loss price should be selected after
studying the chart, and considering your entry point.
When I use hard stops, I like to put them just under
where I see support, figuring if it goes thru short
term support then it could go down a lot further.
When I really don't want to be stopped out, and
especially when I already have a nice profit, I tend
to use looser stops."
