40k lost is there anything i could do , page-12

Tibbs, thanks for the tip, i have learnt that now, but in my ignorance i believed that my mostly blue chips would rebound when i was just 40k down, now i know get out at the first sign of trouble, but i held too long and now 480k down i really have no choice but to sit and wait, listened to others and bought 40+ stocks, diversify they said...bollocks, i cant hope to manage 40 stocks, i hope to one day to have say 10 or so tops, and the stop loss will rule, i am going to buy some charting software probably.. ( insight trader ) also read and learn to be ready for when the market starts to turn up, everytime i trade now in this market i get burned, i'm learning but its tough, thanks for the tip, and baglimit thanks for that site address its great, though i hope i dont have to visit it often.
