- --0-806703148-1057597317=:95973 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sold half this morning for a 61% gain in a month. This is following David Ryan's sell rules. His interview in Market Wizards was amazingly specific. I also listened to him and WON in a tape IBD sells. The rest of the position I will have a wait and see attitude regarding how it forms its next base, etc. It's just strange how one can feel meloncholy taking such a large profit in a month. Katherine mentioned something about my profit objective. And this stock really makes me think about that. I think my profit object is always to make an infinite about of $ on every trade. Which is not bad if you are Warren Buffet and truly understand macroeconomics. But if you are committed to trading chart patterns and turning paper profits into real money, that doesn't work so well.

I have been in and out of the stock a couple of times since last fall, but most recently was up 70% in a few months. Because I "loved" 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 making. Follow the chart (reality) with your head, rather than your heart.

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... 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?
