    I never use price targets on any stock but closely monitor the 50 day moving averages and watch if a stock drops 10% off its recent high. Using that criteria I think your exit might have been a little premature.

    My goal is to have a portfolio of stocks that are all trading above their 20, 50 and 100 day moving averages -- That makes me a happy camper.

  • Get Out Of Bonds! [View instapost]
    If you plan to hold every bond to maturity then no problem. Bad thing happen to good people so if a change in your financial plan might cause you to liquidate some bonds you never know what you net will be,

    On you comment on timing strategies - I have found the 50/100 day MACD Oscillator to be a very good timing device for overall market moves.

    My personal sell discipline of 10% or the 50 day moving average on individual holdings has proven over time to be very effective

    You are correct only if you hold all your binds to maturity and never sell one. If you need to liquidate you have no idea what price your bonds will bring in the future. Right now it looks like less
