(28th-June-2011) Sorry Tech i somehow misssed this when you first posted it..

Out of the 24 current stocks i hold, i have averaged down into 10 of them...now of the 10 stocks i have averaged down into, 4 of them are in profit right now at this low point in the market and another 3 stocks of the 10 are within 15% of break even.

Here's my portfolio % P/L straight outa Stator.

Nine months down the track from my quoted post^^^ lets see how my time advantage is working out for me.

Below is a screen shot of the % profit and loss of my portfolio as posted in 28th-June-2011 with on the right hand side a screen shot of same from 5 minutes ago....notice APN (shaded) is actually a 10% bigger loser than it was, but also notice the 4 stocks im holding that are in 3 figure profit, compared to the first screen shot with no stock in profit over 100%.

Total portfolio value up around 6.5% in 7 bad and 2 good months, with div reinvestment closer to 9%

Wow, good on ya mate.....I couldn't stomach that kind of draw down, and certainly not adding to losing positions....but each to their own. I have tested some intraday systems that use no initial stop, but I just can't handle the 'what if' scenario. I need the security of a stop loss, but that's my personality.

Incidentally, stops hurts performance, generally...in my experience.

Cheers,

Can you arrange the table so the same stock is on the same row?

I don't know a fast way to do it so would have to do it by hand, as in edit a picture file or draw confusing lines all over the place...actually cutting and pasting shouldn't be that hard.

Ill have a go on Sat nite after a few Shiraz's.
