Q: Stock Alerts....I would like your take on how to set Stock Alerts.
I have Income, Balanced and US Portfolios and I cast an eye on the stock prices generally on a daily basis, aka at the end of the day. But with this and that, and especially in the outdoor summer months, I thought it would be worthwhile, prudent to have stock alerts set to give me a heads up when a stock is hitting a new high or a 52 week one....and that's easy to do. But on the downside, what should I do to be aware if a stock is breaking down or taking a noise dive? Like what parameters or percentages or is there something else I should consider in setting downside Stock Alerts? ...........Tom
