    Rich and Taleb agree.....

    Down 7% to 8% from entry point = immediate sell?

    Good arguments from both sides, gentlemen. Several schools of thought apply to both. I think for me personally it boils down to what my objective is and what time frame encompasses that goal. I structured several accounts for different time tables and goals. Each had embedded rules----It was...
