The darn thing must be owned by Wall Mart because after the first hour
it was nothing but <B><I><U>falling prices</U></I></B>. It makes me sick
to lose that much money in 1/2 hour, but I bailed out with a loss of about
$225. And it's still dropping. Would of been a heck of a short. but down
5 points now I am not going to jump in short. Now I was in at 36 1/4. Will
I see 36 1/4 in the next month? Probable.

I have been taught that a cardinal rule is to never, never lower your stop.
In high market volatility (like trading Bonds when an unemployment report
comes out, or when the market is set to open down 100 points) you may want
to remove the stop because of the expected wild swings that occur at the
openings, and then replace them after that first 1/2 to 1 hour. For
whatever reason you decided to place your stop at a particular number, that
number should still be valid. You may raise a stop, however.
