It seems that with stocks, given enough time,  everyone, experts and neophytes like me, can be right.

Goldcorp [G] is around $45.00 today.

$36.05 up to $45.00 is not too shabby. What is that, a 25% increase? Not too shabby at all.

Now the hard part....following my second rule and not selling anything until I see a 5% or greater drop in the price.
