Cruel irony. After my lesson about 'holding your breath until your stop loss is in' and deciding to bite the bullet on my ill conceived NOKIA trade, I got a very reasonable dividend cheque. Mitigated the loss slightly. Would have actually covered the stop loss if I had had it in.
Actually, I thinking about buying NOK again after seeing this article. That's the thing about taking a loss. You can always buy the stock again if the technical indicators are good, and admitting you were wrong about a trade gets rid of the emotion of holding a losing position.
