out 20 FDO @ 72.35 + 3.20
    short of the first target....but, with FDO being up 2 bucks this morning, I had to take a partial profit
out 10 FDO @ 73.71 + 4.56

That's not going to give me an answer about when to sell a stock...
     but, by letting the 10 other shares ride with a bigger trailing stop, I made back a lot of my taking the profit early....

Dow up 157

Green + 7

ehhhhh.........you don't grab a profit and it drops a  buck fifty....but still up  66 cents for the day....but back to that trading thing....or stick with the plan thing and wait to get to the target...decisions, decisions

  A portion of quotes from one broker went out today.....another reason for the multiple brokerage accounts to get quotes....but one of them charges me a monthly fee for not trading enough....yep, that's the one whose quotes went awol this morning----MB Trading----this is one of the reasons they are not listed on the list on the right.  I pay the fee because of how their watchlists can track stocks in a service I subscribe to ( Gorilla Trades)
Which reminds me...I need to take down Quote Tracker from the list...they have stated they will no longer offer support for their system.
