This is the point! I sold some positions on stop loss orders, and let's say half of them were good and half of them bad. With stop losss of 10 or even 15% I'd sell a lot of positions last year include CDN banks , SU etc that already rebounded.... the same with G, but I didn't sell when I was sharply down and than G rebounded and I sold even with profit.Quote:

londoncalling. what is your opinion about BA? Very conservative stock 52 weeks range 25.21-29.19 , now trading $27. Dividend yield more than 7%.
I just don't understand their EPS, as per TDW it's $-4.79 , but if I go to Earning tab on TDW for 2011 their EPS is + 1.49 :confused:
BA: You could call this one a Jim Morrison stock. "The future's uncertain and the end is always near". Wireline business; with *gasp* plugged in telephones.. ugh.. it makes my money scared just thinking about it. Other Jim Morrison stocks include anything to do with newspapers, print, and other forms of old media. Ask YLO.
Go for the parent with the greater share of smartphone and internet exposure, BCE. Of course, Telus is even better but most of you guys are easterners and maybe wouldn't agree.
GIBOR - I looked at BA but would have to agree that this stock is continually getting bad news. I absolutely would listen to Argo on this one. Buy BCE, T, or RCI instead. I am even apprehensive of Telcos at the moment but think I need to grab one for diversification.
Currently energy stocks are hitting a seasonality period of high strength and this can be further spurred by the "Iran" situation. I would like for a pullback before buying another energy stock but i don't want to miss my chance. Since it will most likely be a long term hold it may not matter as much.
ARGO - I am a huge doors fan and loved your most fitting explanation of these kind of stocks. :cool: Let it Roll Baby, Roll!

I just was screening dividend stocks and came accross BA. Generally I don't really need telecoms as I already have RCI, BCE and T:NYSE they are about 10% of my portfolios.
The sectors where I really underweighted: Industrials and Utilities.
I just not familiar with Canada industrials at all... on US side poping up names like: EMR, RTN, LMT, RPM, WM
want to research them a little more... My first criteria: yield at least 3% and consistent dividend payer
Dogleg, if it's specifically energy you're looking for you might want to look at HEE over HEX... I haven't held it that long but it's done better than HEX for me in that time.
I sold at $15 if it makes you feel better. :pQuote:
