Say you invest $10,000 once you're down to $9,000 sell because you don't want to lose more than 10%.

I used to have 2000 shares but I sold them all because I was running out of places to bury my cans of money.
i started auto invest in UPS stock when it first was offered to us. started with $50 a week payroll deduction but quit doing so much when I realized it was too high a percentage to invest after the Enron disaster. so we scaled back.

but it is amazing how fast it accumulates even putting just 20 bucks a week in and reinvesting the dividends to buy additional stock. i still hide money all over the house in case the banks go bad. cash is king in the armageddon. ha.

Apparently a local elder like to hide his money also. The word around here is that when he died a couple of months ago his kids had a real treasure hunt on their hands tearing his house apart. They will never know if they got it all.

There was no way I could afford to or been willing to spend $700/share on any stock. I bought shortly after the 7:1 split. Transferred $50K from my 401K to my SMA and pulled the trigger.

As I recall, UPS was @ $25/share during the IPO but quickly doubled or tripled in value shortly thereafter.
This is not me bashing you but whether a stock is $700 a share or $7 a share, it doesn't matter because a 10% gain is the same either way.

I take home roughly $800/week. Pretty hard to justify spending a week's take home for one share of stock.

You ever pull the trigger on selling? That $133 looks like the top.

My financial adviser has suggested that I hang on to my shares and to use their money (dividends) to buy more. Just picked up 4 more shares last week.

That's interesting considering its a company who's market share is dropping. Revenue is dropping. Profits are dropping. And generally hasn't had any true innovation in years.

let's see......hmmm....when you have 76,000 shares and there's a dividend, you times the number of shares by the amount of the dividend and I get........:)
