Speak of operations assessment, and we'll hear its significant value. Speak of an audit, and we'll run for the nearest emergency exit. There's no difference between the two, yet that word audit chills us. But is an audit really designed to help us or hurt us?Improve Effective PlanningProblems most often arise from poor planning.

There are 3 basic methods (and many more we will not discuss here) for stops that almost anyone can master. They are percentages of the price action, moving averages and support areas. These cannot be covered in detail here, but you can do further research on your own. Any stock, fund or Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) you buy you think is going to go up, but there is the chance that it may go in the other direction. The stock you buy is $50 per share. You certainly don't want to hold it while it goes to $25 or $10 as many did in 2000. Your first thought should be how much am I willing to risk if I am wrong and that is called your loss limit. Let's pick an arbitrary amount of $5.00 per share. That's 10%. If it goes down that is the maximum amount you will lose and you still have 90% of your money remaining to find a better investment.
