Due to market conditions and European turmoil and seeing this happen before, instead of hoping for things to work out in a positive scenario, I've opted to liquidate a majority of my portfolio and to wait for the market conditions to stabilize.  In my experience of trading, hope is not an ally in your market strategy.  Cash is king in this market until things stabilize and the direction is confirmed. Going forward, trading shares should be cut back, and stops should be tighter.
