not really, I still have the same financial value when they return to the price I bought at. AFTER that, I will sell them.
That's exactly cutting your profits and accumulating your losses.

Same story over and over ... its not a loss if I own a coin ... I just don't get it ... its totally irrational thinking IMO
Cut your losses quick, run your profits as far as you can
That is how to make money trading
Or are you an investor looking to $ average over time ... in which case, fair enough. But that's not trading ...
Quite happy with buying at $100.1 and selling at $111.5 on bitstamp today ... a good day
I have bad days too - I am not scared to take a loss if I get in at the wrong point ... that way you live to fight another day
IMO you are dead in the long run if you can't cut a wrong trade and run a right one

Quick! Sell before it drops more!

Isn't that accumulating losses and cutting profits?

Looks like someone pressed the "Oh he's just bought in, let's drop the price by 4%" button again.
Seriously, it happens every time.

I hate that, happens to me too. It'll follow the same pattern for like 3 cycles, I'll buy in and it'll drop more. Or I'll sell at what looks like peak and it'll go up.
Fortunately for me that tends to only be immediately, and an hour or so later i am still coming out ahead.

What once was resistance, will become support they say.

So you are saying we will hit resistance at just above $120... and support is declining...

re: 6. sure, pretty weak point, only relevant right now where we're a bit ahead.
re: 5. true. but, given current information, I'd say there's slightly more evidence for the downward trend than for the upwards one.
none of the points is really strong individually. I'm as undecided as anyone else here seems to be :/

yeah I think I'm just emotionally attached to the idea of this triangle closing to a nice upwards trend...
the TAs I've read on this forum are undecided between them. But the media stories and investment developments are slowly building, and I personally only expect positive news in the next month. I was talking to a bunch of bankers the other day, and heard some interesting anecdotes... at least some of the financial sector are paying attention.
I think it's worth betting up... especially considering the amount of money that seems to be waiting for "cheap coins" ... there are only so many cheap coins and only so many times you can raise your fellow cheap coin waiters to outbid them.
