That's great advice Mad Hatter but you've made it clear from your actions that you don't practice it??
All the things you suggested are pretty much how I roll... right down to the last four words "STAY COOL AND RATIONAL" - acknowledging that I am already cool and rational.
I double down (but generally don't need to because I choose correctly when I buy then I hold) and I have a large and diverse portfolio which doesn't allow me to "fall in love" with any particular stock.... a bit like a shepherd watching his flock.
You on the other hand are a bit like a wolf in sheep's clothing.... so I am watching you too pal
Perhaps you could just leave it at that and free up this forum for people interested in AVL???
Cheers and good luck to us all.
