Hi Peter, are you at liberty to discuss the details of your former =
broker's technique for taking 20% gains?
Thanks,

Subject: [CANSLIM] Big Gain vs Many little gains?
I'm constantly struggling with the issue of holding on hoping I have =
the next CSCO/MSFT/AMZN vs taking a lot of gains in the 20%-50% area. I =
had a broker that made me a lot of money taking 20% gains in 2000 vs =
holding on. My post analysis showed that only one or two stocks would =
have done better but holding on got me into new opportunities instead of =
waiting for a loss or a slightly better gain. I'd like to hear some =
other experiences. I get the impression IBD will sell these stocks at =
the top and buy them back if they breakout again.
Peter
