The Lloyd...Oh brother, you ain't the only one! The Lloyds we inherited years ago are worth about a sixth of what they used to be, and the RBS at an 86% discount to purchase price are only a smidgin up from your Sisyphean boulder... I still like stop losses to try to calm my loss-aversive anxiety, although I realise that many people feel that they somehow insult their superb market judgement - "No, no. Just a temporary setback. So it's fallen 50% - I should buy some more because I know I was right to buy it the first time....." Such a dangerous philosophy, speaking from over-cautious old age.. I think I might try your new year Resolution, but watching it carefully - the price has improved slightly from your purchase date, although it seems to have had a pretty depressing six weeks.
