Congratulations, Dave!
For me, selling is the hardest part of applying CANSLIM principles.

Hi, Dave,
Welcome to the group. I don't post much, but identified with your =

I have been in and out of the stock a couple of times since last =

the stock and wasn't using Sell Rules, I watched the stock drop (on =
heavy volume, which should have been a Sell Signal for me), and ended up =
selling at a 39% profit.
Study WON's Sell Rules and try to be disciplined in your decision =

heart.

Hi all... I'm new to the group and also in Santa Monica... here's =
a question re: profit taking directed at Katherine and other experienced =
investors... that is, those who've actually had profits LOL...=20
I bought TIVO on the 6/2/03 breakout (8.58/share) and am sitting =
on a 50+% profit in a month. Yes, it's due for a short term correction, =
but I love the product and sales are doing very well. According to =
David Ryan (WON's disciple from Market Wizards) I should take 30-50% off =
the table, with plans to reinvest on any correctly forming base if I =
still like the stock. Or I could simply place a stop under the recent =
support which is very strong and clear at 9.25.
I have such an attachment emotionally to this stock. I know it's =
wrong. But the rapid success is clouding my judgement. The same with =
AMHC. I'm used to selling at a loss, but find it hard to take a profit. =
Crazy. Any words of wisdom from the vets?
Dave in Santa Monica
