I guess I should also pick stocks with a decent average daily volume so if I do need to bail I might be able to, eh?
How much are you paying on commission again? Was it $27? If so, note that if you're putting a third of your capital into any given trade-- let's assume $650-- you're already in the hole over 8% before any price movement.

Yes, always find something with some liquidity. Otherwise you might never be able to sell.
