		<title>Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS)</title>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Change Horses in Mid-Stream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most important elements of investing is having a system and following it consistently. A good system makes investing easier, freeing you from constant decision-making. Even a simple rule like &#8220;sell after a 10% loss,&#8221; for example, frees you from constantly re-evaluating your holdings and deciding which, if any, to sell. There are [...]]]></description>
