you cant against the general market down, page-7

i can understand the thought process of protection 20%.. - theres no shame in being greedy
why not adjust a tight stop loss when u get your 20% gain.. ..
you've got nothing to lose.. - apart from money of course..
my wise old uncle told me..
with every 10 stocks you pick your get 2 or 3 good ones.. - he said keep them for as long as there good.
5 or 6 ones that idle.. - give them a chance but move on..
and 2 or 3 bad ones.. - get rid of them asap.
it hasn't failed me thus far
