I hope for your sake that you didn't get stopped
out @ 38 1/4 on Friday! Walgreen is in the middle of
another leg up here. Why would you place a stop loss
order so close to the current selling price anyway? You
run the risk of getting bumped out of the stock on a
slight (in your case, very slight) dip in the price. A
more reasonable place for a stop loss order is 12-15%
below the price you paid for the stock. Then, as the
price rises, you can move the order up with it. Also, I
would avise beginners NOT to watch the stock as closely
as you say you are. It will drive you nuts trying to
figure out the irrational moves in the price of your
stocks and the market as a whole!
