Market is bloodshed me - should I put up for sale?
So I have some brass in several stocks which I consider polite. With the market dive though I am getting crushed. I don't stipulation this money for another year and a half. However, I do hold 15-20% trailing stops on these stocks and they are getting close to being exercised. What are people's opinion on this issue? Should I sell and pilfer the loss (several hundred) and get out of the open market or should I remove the stops and hang on for the ride? I appreciate the backAnswers: Yes, sell and return with out of the market. There are better alternatives.
Since the stock flea market is not going so well, overseas investments would be the best choice.
Try to invest within someones existing business. You may receive up to 20% guaranteed interest a year. You will not get such illustrious guaranteed returns on stocks, mutual funds, bonds or CD's.
If you invest $100,000 at 20% annual interest rate, you will get final $120,000 in 1 year. I run my own business and my network profit is over 5% a month.

if you don't need this money for another year and a partly i'd wait till subsequent week and also Fed's decision on adjectives rate.
since you said if your trailing stop order get excuted you will take the loss.. afterwards you will lose money for sure.. there will other be a bounce back.. also subsequent week we have Apple, Microsoft, and consequently G00GLE report earning too..
Don't market it today.. I'd cancel it and linger it out.
I know how you feel, it's enticing to sell because you be aware of like your stock might not hold hit the bottom yet..
I've lost $5000 surrounded by value contained by my AAPL in Jan. alone.. *sigh..
powerfully I should have taken some stale the table but I didn't expect Macworld to be a failure.. presently I am hoping for the best next week when they report earn..
good luck... :(
Take a look at a 10 year chart of the S&P 500 and the Dow. Take a look at the term 2001 - 2003. What happened? The marketplace went down for two years. That be the last recession the US experienced.
What's occurring now? People are discussion recession. And the market is going down. What would you expect is a pretty good assumption?
Besides all that, I am of the belief that one should always steal a predefined loss. In other words, before entering any trades, you should wish when you would take a loss if you want to. It looks like you've already arranged that by setting your stops. So you'd better just move about with your ingenious plan and let them stop you out.
Base your trading on calculated risk. Not on wish or hoping.
You may want to get into a "take on fund" which is a mutual fund that does well within a recession.
It's simply not a good thought to buy stocks with smaller amount than a 5 year time horizon (if you are an investor (vs. a trader).
I'm a stock trader. My portfolio (except for some mutual funds) is now surrounded by cash. My best "winners" surrounded by the past year enjoy included; INP, HOKU, CROX, FCX, DRYS to name a few. If you've be in any of the large fliers... the best stops are
usually based on them going below a "moving average", a five light of day "range" or some other variable which make sense with the stocks "action". Usually these stops are between 2-6% of the price (if the stop have to be more.. I just don't return with into it).
You need to own a better exit stradegy. You need to see to a year or two is not long term investing.
If these are "fad" stocks (like the ones above).. you may want to draw from out now. Many times "enthusiasm stocks" never return to their old values.
Learn investing. Trying it at the form of your pants will execute you.
Take the next year and read as plentiful books on investing as you can. It will be worth the time and expense.
Well, first of all a 15% to 20% trailing stop is HUGE. Even on an investing pesrpective, surrounded by my opinion.
I assume the market should stop bleeding soon (Bernake willing).
Intel's drop today be overdone I think. The later of the fear should be eeking out of the souk soon. Market is very oversold. Fair priced surrounded by the worst of cases. I would hang one and subsequent time keep your stops a bit tighter.
Why did the dollar rally today and commodities come down?
Answers: Commodity prices are tied to the US Dollar. So when the dollar goes up in value, it would stand to reason that they took would experience and increase...since they are so tied. But your observation brings up a curious point...they didn't do that.
The reason being is one, the dollar has been on a gradual slump since 1999/2000, a slump that caused it to lose ~36% of its value. So, as the dollar declined these commodities grew in value..that being since they are of finite supply, and the value of their trading currency droping, they would increase in value relative to the decrease in the value of the trading currency and their deminitioning supply. Now, with the dollar making the bouce back, these commodities would drop as the pricing mechanism between these two components readjusted.
Hope this helped.
Hmm... If my understanding is correct then the dollar rallying (increase in value) and the commodities are in dollars, their values would go down in relation to the dollar rallying?

Shares of National Oilwell Varco, (NOV) have doubled over the last year; is there still room to go higher?
Answers: There is always room for bubbles to grow bigger before they burst.
A lot of this price rise has been bubble, even though it started on good basis. Only if there is news justifying current prices should it stay at its present level.
