What your stock doesn't know may hurt you

David Jenning's recent column for Buck Investing provides some interesting commentary on the mind games we play with ourselves as stock investors. Everybody has 20/20 hindsight, but in the heat of the moment on those days when you watch your holdings go up 75%in a few hours only to plummet at the end of the day, how do you know what course of action to take (short of breaking a sweat and asking "What should I do?" over and over again)? As Jennings reminds us, setting limits and understanding your own contingency plans will often serve you best.
