Recovery?

I, like most optimists, spent the weekend licking my wounds and reviewing my charts. I expected the jump today, but didn't expect it to take so long...tells me the bears are still attempting to keep control of the markets.

I tend to watch my stocks pretty closely, so, given that habit, I was shocked to find I should have bailed out of three stocks early last week! What happened? First, I'm 'max'd out', fully invested. Second, I was lulled into being too smug after the prior week's results. Third, I got lazy with my stops (That should be FIRST). Getting lazy with stops will make a person POOR....quickly!

Lastly, I came down with some kind of gunk, blood related I think. Whatever it is, it knocked me on my toush, making me overwhelmingly tired. Can't be on your best trading behavior while feeling like poop! That takes me back to item three, er, one. DON'T GET LAZY WITH STOPS!
