$heff's $tation of $tocks & $olid DD

[Clem326]

O/T Difficult topic for us all I believe. Here are some questions I often ask when making this decision:

Is there any news? (Twitter is a great source for news and to see if there is a spammer/pumper involved.)

Has anything changed with the company or catalysts?

Whats happening with the market? Is this stock just down because the market is down? Careful here as some stocks love to oppose the market trend. Always fun to add when the market pulls back and nothing has changed with a stock. Also I tend to add in small percentages. For example...2% drop add 20% to position.

I have typical percentages for losses, gains, adds and stops with each position.

There are times when I will not add because something changed. I am not willing to increase my risk but still hold the stock.

Greed and fear are big drivers for the market. Patience is often the key.

Of course this is all JMO.

Happy Trading.
