Fear Of Falling
Hello fellow AIMers, been a while since I've last posted here but I have a question that I'm sure has crossed every AIMers mind in the course of their endeavours.
I have just purchsed the 3rd and final amount of stock in MRL.AX (Thats the Yahoo code format) or Millers Retail.
Now, coming from the momentum investment style which in current market conditions would probably outperform AIM it is hard to purchase a falling stock.
If I feel this way I'm sure other AIMers have also. I guess the only way of overcoming this fear is backtesting of the method and also the probability of how may companies go into bankrupcy that one could expect to be unfortunate to pick.
How many out there have picked a stock then used up their full free cash and then had a satisfactory outcome at the end of it?
Is there a point at which people have actually used as a cutoff to abandon holding of a falling stock?

Regards
