One more thing, which Whole Foods' price drop reminded me of.

BCSI $45
PWR $13
WFMI $130
GILD $48

JLG $35
GYI $83

    What are the percentages you are using for the stop loss for each?

    I had BCSI based on your analysis, but was stopped out last week. Maybe I had the trailing stop loss too tight.

    also, comments on PLAY?

    Are your stop limits a hard limit or are you going ot move them? How often are they re-evaluated?

    I blend the stops depending on stock volatility and history and buy-in price. I try to allow a 5% buffer at the minimum.

    As you know by now, I regularly move the stops.
