Here is where you really need to closely scrutinize how your portfolio is balanced to get the most for your investment dollar. Depending on your age and how close you are to retirement will dictate whether your portfolio will consist of investments for growth, income, or a combination of both. Now is a good time to look at the companies you have invested in to be sure they are performing satisfactorily.

Obviously we should all be watching our portfolios every day to make sure they are preforming well. Also, to watch the latest news/products coming out to take advantage of possible swing trades.

If you want to be succesful you should keep a close look at your portfolio just remember never to get emotionally attached to your investments.
I think it is very bad advice to suggest to only look at you portfolio once or twice a year.
It is not smart to play it safe but it is safe to play it smart.

hehe....and I admit I am doing it to one of my investments...holding to the particular stock......
The only way I could justify for it to myself is to write off the investment totally.....and make use of the current market volatility to get back as much of the write off as I could......
So my advise for those who are "hanging on there" to write it off first.....if it goes up, thats great...if not......no such heart burn....
And I'd also like to take this opportunity now to highlight...better to keep to ur strategy to prevent future heartache

It is very important to have an exit strategy in place BEFORE you enter the trade. Stick to that exit strategy, regardless of what happens once you entered the trade.
It is not smart to play it safe but it is safe to play it smart.

My stop loss is 10%. I take profits every 45 days (twice a quarter), and add new positions when I have the funds. After that I'm set to just sit back and watch my portfolio everyday, OBVIOUSLY...

I found 10% to be too close on equities. I start with 12% with lower-volatility stocks and 15% with higher-volatility stocks. Otherwise it's too likely to get taken out of a good stock which then turns around and goes up. And then those stops move up as price moves up and hits targets and also as time moves forward. That automatically takes me out of stocks that aren't doing anything.
Sounds like good advice. I might have to do it that way. I have thought about 10% being too small, but I really never knew what other level it would be useful at...
