RE:Kingscorpian ;I feel like King and Rockit are both right but it all depends on which company you are talking about and when it's necessary to be cautious and sell.
Rockit to make your point look good, you point out that CEMX went from $0.54 to $0.30 and that we should have sold to protect our capital. You seem to forget that many here bought this stock under $0.30 and even for some under $0.20 and therefore our capital is still intact.
Also many are here for the long term and have no intention of selling despite market fluctuations unless there would be a big change in fundamentals results.
It may not be a bad idea to take advantage of it when those fluctuations happens. What do you think will happen if Cematrix announces new contracts soon.
Furthermore, for a smallcap like CEMX, it's easy for the big players to manipulate the price downwards to swallow up those who use the "stop lost" out of caution.
Of course the "stop lost" can be useful for large volume stocks that are less likely to be manipulated.
Personally I sold some of my CMX at $0.49 and bought some back recently, but to be on the safe side I am waiting for a new contract announcement to buy back 100%
