RE:RE:RE:RE:Stop lossesYes we all like to think that if we have stop losses in place we can get out before the crowd panics and then buy back in when the stock bottoms. But market psychology is so strong that you won't buy in at the bottom, or you'll be fooled by a dead cat bounce or.... I've never had luck with automated stop losses although I endorse the idea of writing down the sell loss of a stock, and sticking to it. I think the best approach is the Warren Buffet Rule: buy strong companies with a history of increasing profits and dividends and then DRIP them. Then you're cost averaging any drops.
