Dr. A. Elder's book, 'come into my trading room' is my bible, great read and guide. ningpo hey, ….ning, i’m a firm believer in stop-loss and your percent sounds high. i have a risk capital principle which is set to 1 to 2% max. and as it (which ever stock / option ) breaks BE (break even) the slide goes up, never never take a loss (as hard as that may seem, and yes i have taken a loss , learning).

I'm holding it and riding the ups and downs. I suspect it's going to be pretty volatile for a while. Even if it gets sold, it's probably going to be less than the price I bought it at I believe.

What are your feelings on that? What will it means for your holding? I was wondering about you and your shares when I saw that Etrade spiked 25% on takeover speculations.

Even if the whole mortgage business is gone, I think the stock is worth more than it is now. As you know, I'm with you on the stock so hopefully the smoke clears sooner rather than later.

I've actually owned it for a while, so my cost basis is higher than yours, but I decided to stick with it for the time being. I still think their core business is attractive, but was always fearful of their mortgage business. I had been watching their home-loan business for a while, and it worried me as the credit crisis got worse and worse. Just didn't think it would be as bad as it is now.

Everyone is definitely scared when it comes to losing their money (myself included) but I just decided to wait it out. Today's stock price bouncing back a little bit helps the conscious a little bit though even though it's nothing compared to the lose that I've already incurred!
