Cats,
Who are you? I never told anyone on this board about what happened to me in april while on vacation. Wow! Well, I don't know what a "stop loss" is but I think I can figure it out. I should call Etrade, find out about it then set something up like that. But I have learned about a thing you can set up to automatically put shares up for sale when they reach a certain price. I went to maui and when I got there I checked the stock price and was happy to learn that it had climbed to $1.25. I went for a walk on the beach feeling larger than life. I thought to myself, "This new IPVO business plan is going to work out just fine." Then I said, "Well I'm on vacation so I'll stop obsessing about the stock and I'll check it again when I get back home in 3 days, besides my selling goal is $2 anyway." When I got home the stock had dropped. I kept waiting for it to bottom out but it never did. I should have sold at my breakeven point but I didn't. Oh well. Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda! Now I'm hoping like eveyone else that it rebounds again by the end of the year.
