  • CMN...think I pulled the trigger too early

    I can always buy back in, but it seems like this stock is on a roll. I took a 1.4 gain on each share I had, which isn't horrible (baby steps right?) but I am feeling like I should have stayed in longer. What do you guys think especially Mr.Market? I know he likes this stock alot....

    The issue with baby steps (such as 1.4% gains) is that you should make 17 of them in a row to increase your capital by 25%, 30 steps to increase it by 50%, and 50 steps to double your capital. Now that's a lot of risk to take (and commissions to pay).

      Brent, buying 23.43 is what I'm doing (do your own DD ). I know what I said about the 25.39 target for the 50% system entry.

      But on further reflection these are some thoughts. Note, I use pretty tight stops will likely use one beneath the recent gap - maybe 23.80.
