When a stock closes below its 40-week moving average, it may take months, even years to stage a recovery. So, a closing below the line should be considered as a weakness in a stock, at least for the intermediate term. If it is a long term leader, we manage it differently. At this point, the Federal Bank does not meet our long term leader’s trend criteria. If you do not have enough profit on the position, from a risk management standpoint, you may want to cut the position. If you are sitting on a profit, this is a time to take at least partial profit.
